Native American mascots in schools harmful, should be dropped, Utah legislative panel says Marjorie Cortez © Steve Griffin, Deseret News The marquee at Bountiful High School in Bountiful is pictured on Monday, July 13, 2020. SALT LAKE CITY A resolution that acknowledges the harms of using Native American mascots in Utah public schools and encourages their retirement will be debated by the House of Representatives. The House Education Committee voted 6-5 late Monday to give HCR3 a favorable recommendation, although some committee members who voted “no” said they wanted the bill to move forward to the full House of Representatives with changes. The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Elizabeth Weight, D-West Valley City, also encourages the Utah State Board of Education, school districts and charter schools to provide instruction in Native American culture and history.

Utah lawmakers nix idea requiring ‘consent’ as part of sex education Marjorie Cortez © Scott G Winterton, Deseret News The Capitol in Salt Lake City is pictured on Monday, Feb. 8, 2021. SALT LAKE CITY Legislation that would have required Utah’s sex education curriculum to include instruction about consent including what does not constitute consent was defeated by the House Education Committee Monday by a vote of 4-7. HB177, sponsored by Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, also would have required instruction on coercion, sexual violence behavior deterrence, and sexual assault mitigation as part of sex education instruction for students in grades 7-12. Parents must opt-in for their child to participate in sex education classes.

A combined paid sick leave bill advances from House committee

meunierd/Shutterstock A bill that would, if it becomes law, provide earned sick leave for employees in the state passed along party lines in the House Labor, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on Thursday. The bill passed 5 to 3 with one Democrat absent during the vote. The committee substitute for HB 20, known as the Healthy Workplace Act, was not available online as of Thursday night. Last week, two paid sick leave bills, HB 20 and HB 37 were both heard together in the same committee. At the end of a lengthy debate and considerable public testimony around the bill last week, committee chair Eliseo Lee Alcon, D-Milan, sent the sponsors of the two bills to roll them into one piece of legislation. He speculated the bills would not pass through the House Judiciary Committee otherwise.

Bill to change Dixie State University’s name clears Utah House committee Marjorie Cortez © Ravell Call, Deseret News An entrance sign at Dixie State University is pictured in St. George on Sunday, Oct.11, 2020. SALT LAKE CITY Dixie State University took another step toward a name change Wednesday after the House Education Committee voted 12-2 in support of HB278. Sponsored by Rep. Kelly Miles, R-Ogden, the bill would require the university’s trustees, in consultation with the Utah Board of Higher Education, to select and recommend a new name for the four-year institution in St. George. It also would require the Legislature’s Education Interim Committee to prepare and consider legislation incorporating the new name for the institution in Utah Code, which suggests the process will not be finalized during the current session that ends March 5.
