"We continue to believe, however, that prosecution of polygamy per se should not be the government's primary focus at either the state or federal level. Instead, it is more important to bring to justice those who commit child abuse, child sexual abuse, rape, incest and fraud within polygamous communities."
Now, what if they had said THIS;
"We continue to believe, however, that prosecution of African Americans per se should not be the government's primary focus at either the state or federal level. Instead, it is more important to bring to justice those who commit child abuse, child sexual abuse, rape, incest and fraud within African American communities"
That would be RACIST, now wouldn't it? Really, it would be. So why is it that we allow this sort of extraordinary scrutiny of polygynists and polygynous communities? The problem is, that until Law Enforcement divorces themselves from the idea that polygynous communities OUGHT to be investigated for these crimes, as opposed to others THAT, IS THE PROBLEM. Just as it would be the problem if they supposed they ought to investigate Chinese or Black or Hispanic communities for such crimes. After all, doesn't everyone know that Blacks want "our" women, and rape them, Chinese harbor gangs and Hispanics are lazy wet backs? Right?
If ANYTHING polygynous communities have shown they are LESS prone, not MORE prone to such crimes. Blacks for instance, in Harlem, had higher educational success in terms of testing for knowledge, until the government came along and applied affirmative action as a solution. Apparently they did not NEED our help to mind their own business. Maybe that's just the problem, we need to mind our own business.
There need be NO hearings, there is no need for a Grand Jury. Pack up. Go Home. Move Along. Nothing to see here. I know the Salt Lake Tribune has largely been our friend, but this is bigotry. Mind your own business.
