Utah high schoolers would be required to learn about the 'superiority' of American free markets under new guidelines the state school board is considering this week.
Those disagreements are what conservative State Board of Education member Natalie Cline said she wanted to elide by adding the provision in a January committee meeting.requiring civics classes to teach "the benefits of a free enterprise system."
The addition will "make sure … [students] walk away without any question in their mind, regardless of how it might have been presented … that this is the superior system," Cline said., the board must review statewide standards for financial literacy courses every three years. Current guidelines, adopted in 2019, only require students to learn how different economic systems affect growth and don't address the "superiority" of any one system."It feels like … telling students what to believe … rather than helping them understand our free market and why it's beneficial to Americans," said Democrat Sarah Reale, who represents Salt Lake City on the board and has taught political science at Salt Lake Community College.
Reale, the only member who voted against the measure in committee, described it as "a statement that could be considered opinion."
