Utah Officials Under Fire for Spanish-Language Prayer at July 4th Event
City leaders in the northern Utah town of Hyrum are under fire for allowing the closing prayer at a 4th of July program to be given in Spanish with English translation.
Since the decision — which council members say was meant to accommodate the Spanish-speaking pastor asked to deliver the prayer — Hyrum’s City Hall has been inundated with angry e-mails demanding that council members resign, and even suggesting the council be deported to Mexico, Fox 13 reported.
