Utah is setting itself up for the same headline. Can't say I didn't warn you. How about no tax cuts this year, we properly fund k12 and higher ed, and stop giving handouts to folks who already send their kids to private schools? Just a thought. #uted #utpol

You can’t pretend to be a conservative, someone who believes in fiscal responsibility, and also try to pass school vouchers. They absolutely decimate state budgets by draining education coffers first, and then money from the general fund. It’s a scam and your Rep knows it.

The #UTLeg is gaslighting you, Utah. Look at their explanation of the proposed Amendment. A FEW examples: 1. There is no rush. This isn't a pandemic 2. They are using "foreign entities" as a fear tactic. 3. They are telling the people more power, it does not. Full stop.

No one is lying. It is WILD. There were hardly any big book bans since 1982. “Local school boards may not remove books from school libraries simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books” It is political culture wars & the GOP pushing unfounded fear in Americans.

HB427 is bad for #uted . I'm v concerned about the impacts. - restricts academic freedom - will cost A LOT $$ to manage & monitor - blurred/undefined on what is allowed/not allowed - insulting to teachers @KennedyForUtah please place this bill on hold, as USBE requested. #utleg

This endorsement makes me proud. @beckyforutah & I agree-- there is no room for politics on the school board. We need to look for solutions that help, rather than divide us. Her ability to look beyond party lines to do what is right is one of the many reasons I admire her.

One of the many reasons we need R277-328: Educational Equity in Schools-- the board will vote to potentially repeal this rule at our meeting in January. I am adamantly against the repeal. #uted

Power washers are finishing clean up of hate-filled graffiti tagged on Bonneville Elementary School this weekend. I'm told @slcpd has a video of it. The school's principal says it happened at 7:15 pm on Sat. night and targeted black, Jewish, Asians, LGBTQ+ communities. @KSL5TV

We need to start trusting our educators. Stop giving them unrealistic expectations. Stop over regulating out of fear, and give them the space to innovate. Education has been thrust into ridiculous culture wars and our educators don’t deserve it. #uted

America's teacher shortage is leaving schools scrambling. As the beginning of the new school year nears, some superintendents are considering hiring people who have no teaching experience to fill vacant positions out of desperation.

@JeffStenquist Can a teacher wear a CTR ring? What about a hijab? What if I put a photo of me and my girlfriend on my desk? What if I hang a USU Aggie flag in my class? How do I teach about ISIS? How do I answer student questions about Civil Rights? Or segregation? Or Trail of Tears?

If you know me you know I wasn’t a fan of our presidential options. But, what I’m grateful for, is Biden committing his life to serving the people. And in the end, admitting he wasn’t prepared for another term. That’s a form of humility I’d love to see from a lot of folks.

Right before the stroke of midnight, the State Board of #UTed passed an amended version of R277-328 that complies with HB261, & HB427 (from 2023). It isn’t what I wanted but grateful the rule stands. Grateful for my many of my colleagues who worked collaboratively to get it done.

@DougWelton4 Wrong. The people ALREADY voted and approved an independent commission to draw the boundaries. That was the will of the people. And the power hungry legislature said “that’s cute, but we’ll do what WE want instead.”

We have seen similar legislation send a message of distrust to our trained educators. We don't need clear guidelines or policies about what can and cannot be taught in the classroom because they already exist through district policies, Board rules, and approved curriculum. 1/2

NEW: Rep @JeffStenquist wants to keep sexuality, politics, and religion from being taught in Utah classrooms. He says a new bill will be different than last year's, which banned discussion/instruction on sexual orientation/gender identity in K-3. #utpol

THIS! THIS! The arguments about "indoctrination" in schools are conspiracies grown out of lies and anecdotes that lead to SWEEPING laws destroying our classrooms. And yes, SEL is not about sexuality, it is teaching kindness, how to share, how to collaborate, etc. #uted #utpol

I'll say it again: HB374 is simply bad governing. Waste of precious education resources (time & money), lawmaking for the loud minority, morality legislation, and a perfect example of big government. #utpol

I have had hundreds of policy disagreements with these Republican incumbents. But they all serve sincerely, focused on supporting the children of Utah and without the conspiracies and culture war rhetoric. That gives them respect from me. I know the voters will do what is right.

This is the problem with “neutrality” curriculum bills. Posing as a way to keep bias out of the classroom, but rooted in enforcement of certain values. Educators are focused on getting students to think critically, not brainwash or persuade. Trust our teachers. #uted #utleg
