PPAC Utah Education Director Brittany Breneman discusses HB0315 - Human Growth and Development Instruction, which the reproductive rights group says would require "all Utah public school students to watch a biased and inaccurate video in health classes in grades 3–12." The House Education Committee is set to consider the bill at the start of its meeting at 8 AM tomorrow.
Better Boundaries Executive Director Elizabeth Rasmussen responds to a new lawsuit over Prop 4, as well as recent court victories in other cases. If you want to "unsign" the petition to repeal Prop 4 or search the list of verified signatures, she recommends protectutahvoters.com or burrn.org.
Starting March 17, the Natural History Museum of Utah’s (NHMU) annual lecture series will return for its 20th edition to explore The Science of Small Things, with appearances from renowned scientists and storytellers who examine small subjects with surprisingly large significance.
