Governor* Cox is the engine behind Utah's Leftist political lurch and its sick embrace of anti-American globalist policies. He's riding Charlie Kirk's murder for the conservative optics, but the real horse what brung him to power in Utah is a Leftist, globalist blue donkey.

For years, Cox has been complicit in the radicalization of the state's youth and his office funds woke garbage that leads toward intolerance of conservative viewpoints just like Charlie Kirk's.

If you're new to Utah politics you probably have no idea that Cox personally led the charge to politically destroy former state board of education member Natalie Cline, the most Charlie Kirk-esque conservative voice in the state, precisely because she was exposing the destructive indoctrination pushed by Cox and his ilk in the public schools.

Cox IS the cultural sickness he claims to be fighting. Cox attacks conservative speech and conservative voices exposing the truth. He IS the problem.

I guess a person could fall for his feel-good fakeness and opportunist optics, but if you're a self-respecting person and love truth, you won't.

Check out these threads below, the rot starts at the top. 🧵

"Remember how Brantley Easton called me, on behalf of Rob Axson in a recorded conversation, and told me that if I decided to stay in the race for state board that the party would not support me in any way? When I asked him why not, he said because Cox wasn't on board with me running. When I asked what Cox had to do with any of it, he replied, ‘influence.’”

It's kinda embarrassing that Utah is so desperate to join the DEI-obsessed global order that it's dumping state money & resources into erasing America's borders & embracing *New Americans* over native Utahns.

Our 🧵begins with RINO Gov.* Cox's kickback agency, GOEO...

Funnily, the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity highlights the state's proficiency in multiple languages, thanks in part to the LDS church's worldwide missionary program, but let's not ignore the state's efforts to boost multilingual *New* Americans over those musty, stodgy *old* Americans...

1/Image
GOEO's big juicy budget is thanks to generous GOP legislators, who slap at DEI with their right hand, while scratching its back with their left.

GOEO had $195 million appropriated to it in 2024. Its DEI division, the Dept. of Cultural and Community Engagement, got $87.5 million.

2/Image
Utah's Department of Cultural and Community Engagement (CCE) acts like a hub for DEI efforts across the state.

Did you know the CCE took credit for the statewide *conversation* to create a more *inclusive* Utah flag? Or that it pushes socialist redistribution efforts to fix *disparities* based on multiculturalism? Or that it sees kids' use of tech as a metric of inclusion?

It's a mystery why @realDailyWire , which depends on the conservative base for its very breath, continues to push for globalist education initiatives like government-funded School Choice.

A small 🧵... Image
🧵All y'all need to understand that the NEA's own radical-in-chief, Becky Pringle, locked arms w/ school choice advocate Gisele Huff to find "common ground" on the 21st century cultural & economic transformation of education, of which govt. funded school choice is the central pillar.

America's largest teacher's union actually pioneered the original school choice—charter schools—you'd have to be high on bath salts to think they're not going to be in on the School Choice scam.

H/T @iamlisalogan
🧵Govt. funded School Choice is a bait-and-switch that promises an escape from govt. schooling.

But in reality, school choice just extends the reach of the state into millions of homes through innumerable and unknowable myriads of public-private partners and edTech that tracks a child's every move.Image

🧵Part 1 of our EDUCATORS BEHAVING BADLY drop...parents are kept in the dark about 99% of this predatory behavior damaging children:

🔞SEXUAL ACTIVITY WITH STUDENT (first of 2 threads)—
means sexual or physical (not resulting in sexual intercourse) relationship with a public school-age student, regardless of school attendance, or recent graduate of school where the educator is assigned.

These are only SOME of the incidents reported to & adjudicated by the Utah State Board of Ed & its professional practices advisory committee over the past 10 years. There are potentially hundreds of reports of educator misconduct that never get reported by schools or others and never make it this far.

We don't have names or identifying details, so if you ask, we can't answer, except for confirm all these incidents have happened in Utah's schools.Image

How did Utah go from a charming child-and-cow friendly state to a hotbed of globalism, corruption & pernicious social change?

Many think Utah's the "reddest" American state, but our "red" cred is only skin-deep—just peel back the surface layer & watch how Utah oozes a very ugly shade of blue

A short 🧵on how Utah's traditional red-blooded conservatism has been starved of the oxygen of freedom
The first reason Utah's "blue" political bent is hidden behind a "red" facade is because:

—Those on the authoritarian/Left side of the political spectrum know they can't be elected in Utah unless they run as Republicans🧵

h/t @ProjectVeritasAction
The second reason Utah's "blue" political bent is hidden behind a "red" facade is because:

—Those oriented to freedom on the Right get flipped by change agents who work them over, gain their trust, and teach them to collaborate & sit at the tables they were elected to flip🧵

So social emotional learning is twirling in its new tutu across Utah in the form of The Dignity Index, which scores schoolkids & adults on the “correctness” of their speech

A short 🧵 on how *conservative* Utah is ground zero for making Chinese-Marxist speech policing go viral Image
The Dignity Index is a model for policing speech created by the oligarchical non-profit UNITE & promoted by an inordinate number of political establishment Utahns, including Tami Pyfer & former Gov. Gary Herbert 🧵

The Supreme Court's Chevron ruling, which allowed the Federal administrative state (executive branch) to become proxy courts and also interpret the law it is charged with enforcing, was finally overturned by another SCOTUS ruling today.

Fantastic! This helps begin the restoration of the checks & balances that needs to exist among the three branches of government with three separate but co-equal roles. Now, here's the not so great news... don't shoot the messenger!🫣🧵Image
1) Senator Mike Lee, quoting an analyst, said that the number of administrative rules which interpret Federal law is "innumerable and unknowable"...oof! So the states have their work cut out for them. Let's talk Utah, and schools, specifically, for a moment ...
2) Utah has given many of its state agencies "rulemaking authority," mirroring what's been done federally. The administrative state in Utah has broad authority to interpret state and federal law, given Chapter 3, Title 63 the Administrative Rulemaking Act. Image
