MORMON LDS CHURCH VERSUS THE CONSTITUTION Utah's Mormon influence creates First Amendment challenges By Chris Hamby First Amendment Center Online intern Public schools in Provo, Utah, barred events on Monday nights in 2002 after Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints President Gordon B. Hinckley asked school officials to respect the Mormon practice of Monday “family home evenings” — a move that typically would prompt a religious-liberty lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union or Americans United for Separation of Church and State. But in Utah County (which includes Provo), where 19th century Mormon leader Brigham Young’s influence permeates all aspects of life, and the ACLU of Utah often finds itself understaffed and overworked against the wealthy powerhouse that is the Mormon church, the school district’s informal policy went relatively unchallenged. “We have to prioritize what we take on,” said Dani Eyer, executive director of the ACLU of Utah. “No one from the community came forward and complained in this case. We need a plaintiff to have a case. We pretty much need someone to care.” Mormons are encouraged to stay home with their families on Monday evenings for “family home evening,” which often involves games, bonding and spiritual lessons.
