SALT LAKE CITY â A handful of Utah middle and high school students had the opportunity to ask Gov. Spencer Cox questions directly Tuesday.
The governor held his first student town hall since taking office in January. Students were selected to take part based on their academic achievements and involvement in civics.
Streamed live on Facebook, the questions posed by students were anything but softballs as topics ranged from sex education to mask mandates and gun violence.
When asked by senior Aarushi Verma from Skyline High School asked about possible changes to Utah s sex education curriculum, Cox said the best place to have those conversations is at home.
