I was eating lunch at Costco today, and next to me was a woman with two men having a conversation. I could hear her describing what I think is a local charter school to the men. She said:
"It emphacizes Christianity and government. Daily we read out of the Book of Mormon and have prayer."
Oh, to live in Utah Valley! My lunch companion then said, "Yeah [a mutual friend] found it hard when he was interviewing for jobs because it's all fine to be non-mormon, but to be EX-mormon? Well that's just not a good thing. He wondered if he should pretend he was never a member and act like he doesn't know what they're talking about."
I wonder if the people next to us heard that.

That better not be a charter school! Those are publicly funded. She had better been talking about some totally private school.
Yeah I think she was talking about Heritage School, which I don't think is a charter. It's for all those home-school, Ted Kazinski types who need some form of social interaction.
Actually I think Heritage is for "at risk" kids--you know, the ones born on a cold and gray Chicago mornin (in the ghetto... in the ghettooooo), then imported to Utah for an infusion of good old-fashioned family values. And brainwashing. We're very good at brainwashing.
Of course, never mind that all the religious states have higher crime. Family values, indeed.
OMG!! I really needed a good laugh!!
On to serious matters...I like your new pic!!
*shrug* At least the people of Delaware county had the sense to vote out the idiots who tried to pass off intelligent design as science.
Good thing I don't live in Utah, but religious zealots are everywhere.
For me, the weird thing is my resume. I mean, I went on a mission, right? That's two years of devoted service that looks pretty good to a potential employer.
But... I no longer really want anything to do with the Church. Which means if I put the mission on the resume, I have to explain that. Because they'll ask.
What to do... what to do.
I wonder if it would be different in Utah. would people just see it on my resume and assume?
Might be Kimber Acadamy. That is talked a lot about in Southern Utah.
