In Canyons School District, district approval is required if a school's local committee selects a play that is not on a pre-approved list, according to spokesman Jeff Haney.

Just because a musical drama is available to high school drama teachers doesn't make it right for high school students. Even though students will inevitably confront vulgarities in their lives, that shouldn't mean they must include them in More..
Only in Utah. There remains a place where reality can be suspended in favour of those most easily and willingly offended, and no one is allowed the dignity of adulthood to themselves. All the more reason to support the federal government, so More..
