Letter: Lee doesn’t want to solve our problems

Thanks to our increasingly infamous senator, Mike Lee, I now understand better why we must defund Planned Parenthood.

In his otherworldly speech against the Green New Deal, he explained that we need more people to fall in love and increase our population so that they, not us, can solve the problems we refuse to face. How can that happen if Planned Parenthood is funded, right?

Lee’s speech exemplifies some of the outcomes of our defunded public education system in Utah, where he and others argue against teaching the science of climate change and evolution, the value of decent standards in education and, of course, against 21st century sex education.
