I O O l Sotheby's / By BROCK VERGAKIS Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A state senator wants the Legislature to decide whether international classes for high-achieving students should be allowed in Utah. Sen. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem, wants lawmakers to study whether the state has enough oversight of International Baccalaureate programs. She is on record saying the classes have an "anti-American philosophy" while promoting "the U.N. agenda." The I.B. program, as it's known, allows students to earn college credits by taking rigorous courses that emphasize global issues. At least seven Utah schools participate, and credits are granted by Brigham Young University, the University of Utah and Utah State University. More than 600,000 students in 128 countries are enrolled, with the program managed by a non-profit organization in Switzerland. In February, Dayton helped kill a proposal that would have given the program $300,000. After negative publicity, lawmakers eventually agreed to spend $100,000. I.B. classes typically are part of local school of problems with the I.B. program. The Eagle Forum offers numerous articles on its Web site where conservative groups complain that the program is unpatriotic. "Parents say the IB program offers a combination of global indoctrination and political correctness, from the denigration of Western civilization to environmental extremism and promotion of the feminist agenda," reads one article. But a leading Republican, Gov. Jon Huntsman, supports the program. He has said his son has taken I.B. classes and assured him there's no political agenda in the classroom. Dayton wants community feedback about the I.B. program. She said several essays will be posted on Senate Republicans' unofficial blog, senatesile.com. "One of the questions the legislature needs to address is that of governance; are the benefits of a rigorous program justification for further loss of state control of public education? Can we do it better locally?" Dayton wrote on the Web site. By late Wednesday, the post had only drawn comments in support of the I.B. program and critical of Dayton. budgets. Dayton is worried that Utah is losing control of its education system by allowing the classes. "Are we comfortable with our high schools having international contract agreements?" Dayton said during a committee ' hearing Wednesday. Dayton was seeking support to review the I.B. program in Utah, although she didn't offer many specifics. She said she wanted input from the committee, although she didn't ask for any formal direction or vote. The move flustered Sen. Ross Romero, D-Salt Lake City. He said Dayton was wasting the committee's time .asking hypothetical questions that the Legislature's general counsel could have answered. Other Democrats joined Romero in questioning just what problem Dayton is trying to solve. "I don't understand. It seems like we have so many pressing problems ' we ought to be addressing. This one does not seem to be a problem to me," said Sen. Pat Jones, DHolladay.Conservative groups that back Dayton, however, have plenty Court won't review forced meds By JENNIFER DOBNER Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Utah officials are expected to begin the forced medication of a woman suspected in the widely publicized kidnapping of a Salt Lake City teen after the Supreme Court declined to review the matter. Attorneys for Wanda Eileen Barzee, 62, had sought a hearing to determine whether a Utah judge had correctly ordered that she be given psychotropic drugs to restore her competency for trial. "It's disappointing, but not unexpected to be sure," Scott Williams, Barzee's attorney, said Wednesday. "The system has spoken, and all our means of appeal for our client have been exhausted." Justices denied the petition Monday. Utah Assistant Attorney General Christine Soltis said she expects the order of forced medication to take effect in the next few days. Barzee and her estranged husband, Brian David Mitchell, face criminal charges of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault on suspicion of abducting Elizabeth Smart, then 14, from her home in Salt Lake City. The transient couple were arrest- ed ip March 2003 after they were spotted walking through a suburb with Smart, whom Mitchell said he had taken as another wife. Barzee has been in the Utah State Hospital since 2004, when she was initially found incompetent for trial. Doctors have said she is delusional and believes she receives messages from God through her television. Smart, now 20, was in Washington on Wednesday for the release of a government guide to help people who survive kidnappings. She contributed to the guide but did not speak during the ceremony Missing prof suggested suicide CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK, Utah (AP) - A Minnesota professor missing in a Utah national park apparently spoke of suicide in a letter to relatives.
