OREM, Utah — Dozens gathered together at Utah Valley University Thursday night to remember Izzy Tichenor.
“We need to let all of Utah know what happens when a young child like Izzy is bullied and made to feel ashamed of the skin they’re in,” said community activist Darlene McDonald.Read - Izzy Tichenor's mom 'furious' with school district response Thursday’s vigil was not just to honor her life but to also keep the message going that change is necessary.
Since Izzy’s death, the Davis School District launched an independent review team to investigate the claims of discrimination and bullying. The district also hired new employees and created a partnership with several community leaders earlier this month to tackle the issue of racism.
People who post about this vigil on Facebook are finding their posts removed for violating community standards. Turns Utah has a lot of white people who are uncomfortable discussing the impacts of their racism. SayHerName IzzyTichenor utpol uted RacismKills DavisCoUtah

Utah could join a growing number of states to end fines in the juvenile justice systemUtah legislators could soon eliminate fines for youths who have gotten into trouble with the law, joining a growing number of states who recently abolished court-ordered fees in the juvenile justice system. Having revenue for 'important programs' be reliant on revenue from criminal restitution is a self-fulfilling shit cycle that needs to changed. Sounds like a self perpetuating cycle.
