Utah's SEL panic hits a wall
House committee shelves Rep. Trevor Lee's 'character tracking' ban.
Rep. Trevor Lee, R‑Layton, styles himself as one of the Utah Legislature’s loudest culture warriors. So far this session, he’s 0‑for‑3: his headline‑grabbing bids—including over‑the‑counter ivermectin and easier opt‑outs from school vaccine rules—have died in committee.
On Thursday, make it 0‑for‑4: the House Education Committee shelved HB399.
