Board Member Flo Wineriter had the following letter to the editor published in the Deseret Morning News. He wrote in response to an op-ed piece published on August 9, 2005.

Thanks to Marjorie Cortez for a thoughtful, rational editorial opposing the imposing of religious opinion on students in the public classroom. I am an active Humanist with a capital H. I served on the American Humanist Association board of directors for eight years and as president of the local chapter, the Humanists of Utah, for ten years. I also serve on the advisory committee of the Utah Three-R's program. I am in complete agreement with Ms Cortez concerning the teaching about the role religions have played in world history, U.S. history and Utah history, both the positive and the negative.

Those of us who share this view have the responsibility, even the obligation, to help people understand the vital difference between education and indoctrination. Recognizing the difficulty adults have with this discernment we can appreciate the difficulty children will have. For that reason, among others, it is imperative that Divine Design not be included in the curriculum of Utah Public schools.
