Utah’s House and Senate Republicans passed resolutions this week against using critical race theory (CRT) in schools.
“The votes capped off a dramatic day on Utah’s Capitol Hill, where some lawmakers walked off the floor in protest and conservative activists demonstrated at a news conference of Black community leaders,” Fox 13 reported Wednesday.
While the House voted on its resolution regarding CRT, every Democrat in the chamber walked out, which left Republicans to pass it on their own.
In a social media post Wednesday evening, Christopher F. Rufo, the senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, shared the “House Resolution on Critical Race Theory in Public Education.”
“We are winning the fight against state-sanctioned racism. Onward!” he wrote:
WINNING: The Utah State House and Senate have passed a resolution denouncing critical race theory and asking the Board of Education to ban CRT indoctrination from the state curriculum.

House Speaker Brad Wilson (R-Kaysville) said the document called on the state’s school system to evaluate its curriculum.
“We’re calling on the state school board to look at the curriculum and determine what are the right parameters for this discussion to happen,” he commented.
According to the Fox 13 report, CRT is not currently taught in Utah schools, but lawmakers have been bombarded with emails and calls from citizens opposed to teaching the theory, the outlet continued:
Governor Spencer Cox declined to put it and the Second Amendment Sanctuary bill on the agenda for Wednesday’s special session, which was largely about COVID-19 federal money. But Republican leaders on Capitol Hill felt the issue was urgent, so they took the rare step of calling themselves into an extraordinary session to pass resolutions.

Bad idea, if you want people to demand something illegal, make something illegal. Think prohibition.
Notice how Democrats everywhere act like one giant hive-mind organism like “Star Trek”’s Borg? Makes me wonder if they text each other for permission to use a bathroom. Useless anti-American Enemies Domestic swine.
If state school boards persist in pursuing racist and propagandistic curricula then it’s time for the legislature to curtail their authority to act independantly. Appeals to reason are a waste of time.
If enough Cali or Denver invaders are in Utah to have Black Utah caucus .
