Is polygamy illegal in Utah?

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned the practice of polygamy over 120 years ago in 1890. Anyone who has been found entering into a polygamous marriage since that time has been immediately excommunicated from the Church.

Those polygamists you see on TV shows and the news are what are called "Mormon Fundamentalists". Most of them belong to breakaway sects which split from the Mormon church at the time of the polygamy ban. Both the polygamous groups and the mainstream Mormon church try to separate themselves from each other in the public eye - the polygamists think that the mainstream Mormons are wrong, and the mainstream Mormons think the polygamists are wrong. For the most part, they don't want to be associated with each other.

When does Utah law requires the age of children to attend school?

Technically, Utah state law does not ever require children to attend school. The state of Utah requires children to be educated from first grade (usually age 6) to age 14 or completion of the eighth grade (unless they have completed high school graduation requirements before age 14). This education does not need to take place by attending a school. They can be homeschooled or participate in an online school, but must inform the school district where they reside that they will be participating in one of these alternative education programs. The vast majority of parents in Utah send their children to public schools from Kindergarten to the twelfth grade, although they are not legally required to do so.

Why did the Mormons have conflict with US government?

A combination of things underlay the conflict between the US Government and the Mormons called the Utah War.

Utah was a US territory. The Mormons were creating a theocratic (religious) government. There was conflict between Mormon leaders and a few of the men sent by the US to be administrators in Utah. This conflict was with men who were hostile to Mormonism. In particular the Mormon religious doctrine promoting polygamy (taking multiple wives) was considered by much of the US as gross immorality. Because of strife over slavery at the time, there were rumblings of rebellion in other territories. Some say it was because of this spreading unrest in the territories that then President James Buchanan appointed a governor in the place of Brigham Young and sent troops to Utah. Others say Buchanan was using the general prejudice against Mormons to direct attention away from the the growing strife between North and South and the growing movement for secession in the South and thus unite the States.
