As long as the gun culture is throwing around God-given rights, we would like to mention our God-given right to send our children and grandchildren to schools where all guns are forbidden. The Utah Legislature has taken that right away.

Those who claim a God-given right to bear arms, and those who claim a God-given right to gun-free schools create a conflict that will not go away. Yet a solution is simple. Let the few who want guns allowed in schools establish charter schools where guns are allowed, and let the vast majority (80 percent) continue to send their children to gun-free schools.
