Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : The elected member of the Utah State Board of Education, who represents the southwestern part of Salt Lake County and a segment of Utah County, has previously stated her disapproval for any signs of acceptance of LGBTQ individuals in public schools.
62% : And again, in February, she attacked a teacher on social media -- publicly posting the teacher's name, the school where she works and accusing her, without offering evidence, of instructing students that "communism is better than our form of government."
56% : The public body includes 15 members, who serve four-year terms and and oversee public education policy for K-12 schools in Utah.
51% : The DezNat term is short for Deseret Nation or Nationalism.
43% : That included in February when she called LGBTQ students "gender-confused" and referred to the Black Lives Matter movement as "indoctrination."
31% : Her latest message, though, sparked a new fire this time, coming shortly after an apostle for the LDS Church criticized members of the faith -- particularly those at the church-sponsored Brigham Young University -- who push back against the teachings on same-sex marriage.
