One unnamed school district's voluntary teacher training said that Utah 'has an unrecognized, violent history with the original inhabitants of this land. Oh no!

Utah releases ‘master plan’ for the Governor’s Mansion, but much of it is hidden from taxpayersWhen pressed on whether taxpayers would want to know what security measures they would be paying for, an official said, “I can understand that frustration and all I can say is we’re going to err on the side of caution.” utpol Taxpayers funding security at the governors’ mansion which every future governor will use is not the problem; taxpayers funding security improvements to Spencer Cox’s private property is the problem. security through obscurity Sounds completely above board and not at all contemptuous of the public that hired this administration 🙄
