One should be aware of the distinction between mainstream mormonism, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latte Day Saints, and splinter groups that left the faith or were excommunicated for supporting polygamy. The mormons outlawed polygamy in the 1880's in order to gain Utah's statehood. I know a lot of mormons, I don't know a single polygamist.
Good comments. However, you should know that the Mormons are very good at using their own money (10% tithing) and don't use public money. Also, it is very interesting that outside of seminary, which is basically Sunday school, their aren't any private mormon schools in Utah. (Other than BYU).
