Is it true that Mormons have not removed verses approving polygamy from their Doctrine and Covenants, a book considered scripture by the LDS church? Doesn’t that mean that Mormons are still, in a way, polygamists?

Just because polygamy is retained in Mormon scriptures does not mean it is a modern doctrine. Many scriptures are retained only because of their historical significance. Mormons also consider the Old Testament to be scripture, but that doesn't mean we consider the Law of Moses to be modern doctrine. For that matter, polygamy is also mentioned in the Old Testament. Does that mean that modern Christians and Jews are secret polygamists because they have not removed the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob from their scriptural cannon? Of course not.
