Thank you for publishing the referenced article, “A slap in the face,” in The Tribune.
As a long-time Utah resident, I am sick and tired of the misogyny/patriarchy of the LDS Church. It is offensive conduct that should not be tolerated by an enlightened citizenry.
Equal rights and respect for women is a concept enshrined in our Constitution and fundamental to our form of government. State action notwithstanding, as a society we should have zero tolerance of such conduct by an operating church or any other organization.
As far as I am aware, there is no religious exemption to compliance with constitutional standards of behavior and no de facto exception should be allowed.
As a community, I must believe we are better than this.
