Of course people support Utah Fits All. Why wouldn’t they?
Letting families choose the best education for their child is the definition of freedom. The recent Deseret News poll confirms what many of us already knew—nearly two-thirds of Utahns support Utah Fits All. This isn’t some fringe idea. It’s a clear message from the public: parents know what’s best for their kids.
For many families, this program has been life-changing. I’ve shared story after story of students who started to enjoy learning again after switching schools. Sometimes that meant a private school or charter. Other times it was a microschool, homeschool, or even a different public school. The common thread? The child was finally in a place that fit.
Yes, there’s a case before the Utah Supreme Court. But let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture. The public is behind this, and so is the Legislature. Lawmakers have already said they’ll do what’s necessary to keep Utah Fits All moving forward.
So no, it’s not surprising that support is high. Freedom is popular. And when families are given real choices, they choose what works.
The demand for educational options is real. And no matter what happens next in the courts, this poll gives us one more reason to celebrate.
