Equality Utah has settled the first-of-its-kind lawsuit brought against the state of Utah a over sex-education law that banned positive discussions of homosexuality in public schools.
In its letter, the board said it “desires each student in Utah public schools to receive a high quality education free from all manner of discrimination, which can take the form of bullying, based on religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity.”
Equality Utah sued Utah, the state school board and three school districts — Cache County, Jordan and Weber — a year ago, asking a federal judge to strike down the so-called “no promo homo” laws as unconstitutional because they promote discrimination against LGBTQ students and others.
