State senator Kevin Sparks called the district’s Bible ban “misguided” in a 19 December post on Instagram. “The Bible is not educationally unsuitable, sexually explicit, or pervasively vulgar"

No?

Genesis 19:33-36

^33^That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. ^34^The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. ^36^So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father.

Genesis 38:8-9

^8^ Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” ^9^ But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.

Genesis 38:15-18

^15^ When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. ^16^ Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “And what will you give me to sleep with you?” she asked. ^17^ “I’ll send you a young goat from my flock,” he said. “Will you give me something as a pledge until you send it?” she asked. ^18^ He said, “What pledge should I give you?” “Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.

I could go on and on, but I think that makes the point. I won't go however without including the classic Ezekiel 23:14-21

^14^ “But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans[a] portrayed in red, ^15^ with belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea.[b] ^16^ As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. ^17^ Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. ^18^ When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her naked body, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. ^19^ Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. ^20^ There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. ^21^ So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.[c]
