Beau says:
Utah's Davis School District removes Bibles due to objectionable content, a consequence of legislation targeting marginalized groups.
Educators, parents, activists
The full transcript provides deeper insights into the implications of legislative actions on marginalized communities and the importance of vigilance in upholding free speech and inclusivity.
Well howdy there internet people, it's Beau again. So today we are going to talk about Utah and a
