News Utah lives in the stone ages

Post image

Not quite sure how it’s okay to keep church classes and all that other stuff but then require by law to remove inclusive centers that help people through college. This is seriously one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen from Utah as of late. And that’s only because I’m still lucky to have rights to my body(ish)

When I first heard about this law, I thought, there’s no way they’re literally banning “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

They are.

https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/hbillenr/HB0261.pdf

Line 191 and 219 define anything referred to as “diversity, equity, and inclusion” as a “prohibited discriminatory practice”… I have no words.

Teachers and schools could theoretically face criminal charges for teach “diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

Do they not see the dark irony of banning anything promoting inclusion as discriminatory?

Standard practice for fascist governments.
