Kyra Inston: Opponents of teaching Critical Race Theory or LGBTQ issues in school express concerns that such approaches may inadvertently alienate certain groups, specifically white children, rather than effectively addressing the underlying problems.
Parents should have the freedom to decide what educational approach aligns with their values and beliefs.By Kyra Inston | For The Salt Lake TribuneAs we continue to debate the direction of K-12 education, it is important to recognize that there is more to preparing students for success than just teaching them how to read, write and do math. According to, Americans agree that developing critical thinking and collaboration skills is just as important as these basic academic skills.
But implementing effective character education in K-12 schools can be a challenge. There is a lack of consensus on what character education should include, which leads to a variety of approaches in its implementation. There are also debates about whether character education should be taught in a separate class, integrated into existing academic subjects or even taught at all.
This lack of consensus is a prime example of the problems that arise when the government takes control of education. In recent years, Utah has made character education arequired component of education in K-12 schools. While the intention may be noble, this decision raises concerns for those who believe in individual liberty. When the government mandates character education, it infringes on parents’ rights to choose what and how their children learn.

Letter: A new hope for mental health in Utah: Embracing medical psychedelicsAs medical professionals with decades of experience treating mental health disorders, we have seen firsthand the struggles faced by those who suffer from these conditions. Recently, research supporting the use of psychedelic medications as a safe and effective treatment for various mental disorders has grown. We — Dr. David Sundwall, a former U.S. assistant surgeon general and executive director of the Utah Health Department, and Dr. Noel Gardner, a nationally recognized forensic psychiatrist, clinical educator and founder of Impact Mental Health — believe it’s time for Utah to consider an optimal approach to the medically responsible use of psilocybin. While it’s unusual for seasoned doctors to advocate for substances once considered “fun drugs” and associated with rebellious youth, we have come to realize that, when used wisely, natural plant-medicines like psilocybin offer a promising alternative to conventional prescription drugs.
