   Where can you draw the line (constitutionally speaking) for “educational materials” based on “the law” ?

   And which law? State? Federal?

   I would assume Federal law applies, unless local laws are more strict.

   Utah’s approach (did governor sign it?)

   In another case, Island Trees School District v. Pico (1982), three justices suggested that certain procedures should apply to removing materials from school libraries; however, vulgar materials can clearly be removed. For these reasons, HB374 enacted a provision that obviates the need for the Miller test and declares that materials containing graphic descriptions of a sexual nature as explained in 76-10-1227(1)(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) have no serious value for minors and must be removed from school libraries.

   Importantly, HB374 includes a provision that allows the USBE to affirmatively approve materials by rule notwithstanding some measure of indecency to allow for true literary works. Thus, the default is to protect children, not to expose them to harm.
