Ken Ivory, a Utah state legislator, has recently made several statements on social media addressing both education policy and economic issues.
On January 7, 2026, Ivory criticized the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for legal action involving Utah schools. He wrote, “The ACLU filed suit to force Utah schools to expose our public school CHILDREN to pornographic and indecent materials that are too indecent/pornographic to be shown or read to ADULTS in legislative or school board meetings! #BringItOn #AdultsProtectChildren Period!”
In another post on the same day, Ivory commented on global financial trends. He stated, “The dollar is no longer the #1 Foreign Reserve Asset… It has been replaced by #GOLD Sound, Constitutional Money! @KevinDFreemanX @RodDMartin @MarloOaks @Hannesson84 @utahhousereps @utahsenate #utpol #utleg #InflationIsTheft https://t.co/obxcrXJ7bL”
Continuing his focus on monetary policy, Ivory posted again on January 8: “Money IS Changing…! Gold has been Money for thousands of years and is once again replacing ethereal fiat currencies in real time with electronic, transactional gold.
#Utah Let’s not be left behind! @utahhousereps @utahsenate @GovCox @KevenStratton @KeithGroverUT @UtahCitizens https://t.co/KJf9YKvWa7″
Ivory’s remarks about the ACLU lawsuit refer to ongoing debates over book bans and content restrictions in U.S. public schools. Across several states including Utah, legal challenges have arisen regarding what materials can be available in school libraries or classrooms.
His comments about gold as a reserve asset reflect wider international discussions about de-dollarization and shifts toward alternative stores of value such as gold among central banks worldwide.
