We lived in Utah for eighteen years and when we lived there most Mormons we knew were totally unfamiliar with Lent and had no idea what it was. Several times I had to explain the meaning of Good Friday to some neighbors. Ash Wednesday would be the same. This school was in Bountiful and Bountiful was always over 90%Mormon. This teacher made a huge mistake but I would imagine it was more out of ignorance than maliciousness.

We have a friend who put up an Advent display in his yard. In the second week of the season, one of his LDS neighbors came over and very nicely told his that some of the lights must have burnt out because not all the candles were lit.
