The ban is slated to go into effect on May 7.

According to the legislation's sponsors, GOP Reps. Trevor Lee and Daniel McCay, the intent of the ban is to encourage "political neutrality" in the state's classrooms and elsewhere in government facilities.

As such, any political flag—including MAGA "Make America Great Again" flags—will no longer be permitted either in classrooms or on government property.

Under the new law, the United States flag, the Utah state flag, military flags, Olympic and Paralympic flags, official college or university flags, tribal flags, and historic versions of other approved flags serving educational purposes are allowed to be displayed.

Similar measures are being considered in statehouses across the country, including Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina.

Idaho recently passed a law banning inappropriate flags—including the LGBT pride flag—in schools, but that bill didn't address flags displayed in other government buildings.

"As tired as Utahns are of politically divisive symbols, I think they are also tired of culture war bills that don't solve the problems they intend to fix," Gov. Cox wrote to lawmakers on Thursday.

"In an attempt to make some kids feel more welcome, other kids feel less welcome," said Cox, who asserted that despite his agreement that schools should be "apolitical," the bill would fall short of achieving its goal.

"By simply requiring the removal of flags only, there is little preventing countless other displays—posters, signs, drawings, furniture—from entering the classroom," the governor said. "To those legislators who supported this bill, I'm sure it will not fix what you are trying to fix."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
