Utah education is severely lacking in actual facts. Biologically, Scientifically, Historically proven facts.
A lot of teacher curriculum is flexible on how the earth was formed and humans came to be.
Utah should make a law requiring education to be as accurate as possible with the information available at the given time.
About 40% of Utah are LDS and support creationism but this is Biologically, Scientifically, Historically proven false. Allowing a minority to confuse and teach scientifically illiterate mythology as if it were fact.
For any school district to allow a teacher to say or even insinuate creationism is anywhere near equal to evolution should be a crime.
"Teaching the controversy" is a lie and a disservice to all of Utah, especially the youth. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-study/compare/views-about-human-evolution/by/state/
Utah should not be paying any public funds towards the LDS or any other Seminary program 9-12. https://www.deseret.com/1993/12/5/19080163/lds-seminary-religious-program-may-help-stretch-budgets-by-easing-classroom-loads
As it violates the lemon law among others. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602 (1971). Under the "Lemon" test, the government can assist religion only if (1) the primary purpose of the assistance is secular, (2) the assistance must neither promote nor inhibit religion, and (3) there is no excessive entanglement between church and state.
