Utah State Sen John Johnson declared during the senate hearing for #HB451 that he was “not racist!” and added whether we believed him or not. He then informed us that, “anti-racism is racism.”

WORDS MATTER
In an effort to discredit public education, many on the far-right has begun calling publicly-funded education that over 90% of students in America receive, "government schools." They're doing this because they've made the word, 'government' synonymous with incompetence. The right to a public education is not explicitly written into the Constitution, yet it's protected by the 14th Amendment.
Remember that as Republicans continue the movement to privatize public education. #utpol
