A whistleblower says the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ investment firm has over $100 billion – more than any religious fund in America. Instead of doing good, the church is bending the law, said a whistleblower. 60 Minutes reports, Sunday.

I didn’t feel attacked but was surprised at your lack of decorum and total disregard for senate rules. You validated my claim that diversity and inclusion only apply to people who think like you. Please read rules before ever attending a senate hearing again.

I’m concerned for anyone taking his class! If our reaction to his rhetoric made him feel attacked, I’m afraid to think of how he reacts to students who do cater to his sensitivities. Utah is in trouble.

Utah joins request to American Bar Association to drop its DEI standards
Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes signed a letter with 20 of his Republican counterparts asking the American Bar Association to drop its diversity and inclusion standards for law schools.

Heavy lifting done. This bill is one of the best in the nation. Our Senate, House, Governor and Education leaders collaborated on an outstanding piece of legislation. Doing it the Utah way!

There seems to be an innate need for religion. Many atheists simply adopt another belief system (eg wokeness) that is essentially a religion.
I am working on an interim bill on DEI departments at our universities in Utah. Their current form is unconstitutional according to research I have completed with the help of many organizations accross the US. If any of you want to engage in a serious open dialog on the subject

DeSantis explained that the bill will effectively “reorient our universities back to their traditional missions,” which is to treat people as individuals and elevate merit over superficial characteristics promoted by the radical left.

NEW: The American Bar Association has passed a new rule requiring all law schools to “adopt, publish, and adhere to written policies that protect academic freedom” and “encourage and support the free expression of ideas.”
At the time, the Davis School District said the Bible did not violate the new state law. But a committee apparently determined it was not "age appropriate" for elementary and junior high readers. That decision infuriated the people at the demonstration.
TRUTH.
1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.

These books are not banned. They are still available for purchase and even in public libraries. This is not about banning books! It is about protecting the innocence of children.
The difference between GOP and Democrat values. They call us "authoritarian" for wanting to remove criminal pornography from our kids schools. Ban? I don't think that word means what they think it means!😂
