I for one can't wait for Utah schools to start their mandatory teaching of our form of government so we can all learn exactly what it is (Re "Legislature passes bill to teach U.S. is republic," Tribune, March 9).
How will schools describe a single-party Legislature that crafts laws behind closed doors with no input from the people they claim to represent? How will teachers define a governor who first signs a bill into law, promising a spirited public debate later?
Children, welcome to the People's Republic of Utah.
