When the president of the Alpine School District Board of Education reported to Utah lawmakers recently about police being summoned to a school library to investigate a report that someone was allegedly distributing pornography to children, the seemingly surprised committee chairman asked for clarification.
“Are you saying to your school library?” asked Rep. Lowry Snow, R-Santa Clara, and co-chairman of the Utah Legislature’s Education Interim Committee.
“Yes,” said board president Mark Clement.
“Law enforcement?” Snow queried.
“Yes,” Clement said. The experience frightened the school librarians and “made them less effective,” he said.
