And that’s basically it!
Approved flags for display in government buildings and schools would include the Utah state and U.S. flags, military flags, flags for other countries, flags for Native American tribes and official flags for colleges and universities. The bill also allows for the flying of a “historic version of a flag ... that is temporarily displayed for educational purposes,”
So, fuck it, every school in Utah should do a special educational bit about the history of the city of Cusco between 1978 and 2021..
.... And so there were swastika flags too, here is one! let me wave it around so that you can imagine how it was to live in nazi Germany! Now when these flags were flying it would be customary to make an official greeting to the one true savior, der Fuhrer ~~musk~~ Hitler, here, let me show you how 
I'm fucking bracing myself for WWIII, these fuckers will start it
I'm guessing that soon it might even be obligatory to wear certain arm bands, maybe of the yellow kind? Adorned with a pretty star, perhaps?
'Pink triangle on her sleeve, let me know the truth, let me know the truth...'
I’d imagine the armbands will be next.
God I hate living in Utah.
Whole world is going crazy like that nazi/right way. Not just Utah. There is no place to escape. We should be strong and withstand these "tests" of our worldview.
If you read both the linked story and its update you will see a good example of how the press is supposed to interact with power. In sharp relief to the cringing fawning appeasement we see the mainstream press engaging in with this criminally insane presidential administration.
This is some BS man. He's saying you can fly the Nazi flag because it's "historic". Well, hell, isn't the gay pride flag historic? Good luck getting a definition out of these fucks. If he could write the law he really wanted to write it would say "keep off any flags I don't agree with".
by historic he means it's part of their history. sorry but this is some "that's our heritage" bullshit. they allow it cause they identify with it. they don't like the pride flag because identifying with that is scary to them.
It's been a unit battle flag more than once iirc.
Technically, if something happened yesterday, it is also historic.
More along the lines of not wanting kids to know or being exposed to lgbtq culture, but he is fine with kids knowing about and being exposed to Nazi culture
What the actual fuck
I grew up in deep mormon territory in Utah. I don't disagree with the comments on religious extremism and bad politics, but remember the people this bill will affect are kids. The LDS church is losing youth for a variety of reasons, their policies toward LGBTQ being a big one. The nazi flag is rage bait meant to distract from the real harm of this bill.
I firmly believe this is because we've lost almost all of our world war two veterans. These shitlords kept it under wraps all these years because deep down, they knew pap paw would 100% get up out of his wheelchair to kill one last Nazi.
I think we know the solution then.
Be like pap paw
You know how people say the fact that we never excised confederates/slavery from amongst us has led to modern issues? Well, the same holds true of Mormons. Most Americans have no idea the level of money, clout, and insane shit based in Utah. For example, I bet you didn't know the Mormon church owns approximately 1 in every ~550 acres of privately-held land in the United States. Warning: the Mormon bullshit rabbit hole is deeper than you can imagine and may cause you to start writing a years-long book project, in my experience. You've been warned!
Mormonism is America's future. It's the prosperity gospel attached to a powerful lobbying contingent that exists to perpetuate MLM schemes.
If you think things are bad now, wait until Mormons are fully in control of California.
That's a strange veer towards a completely unrelated topic... But anyway, considering that roughly 1 in 100 people are Mormon in the US, it's not that surprising that 1 in 550 of the land also is. It's surprising they're trailing so far behind the average actually.
EDIT: oh wait, you mean the church owns it. Yeah, ok, that is very weird. But Mormonism is a very weird thing by definition...
Holy christ on a pogo stick, I had no idea on the population stats for mormon's. We really are a stupid species lol. I had a good neighborhood friend growing up who's family was mormon, didn't persay have anything against the religion then but later found out about all the racists connotations and how members are treated. If anyone wants to learn more there's a good Ex mormon vid going over the southpark mormon episode and the religion etc.
Yeah, that's church-owned. But does raise the interesting point of prominent Mormon billionaires/CEOs. And investment firms. And investments. And their history with the federal government/Republicans. And...
