By Wayne Hoffman

Why, oh why, do Idaho’s politicians keep allowing the leftist National Education Association (NEA) to have special rights to control Idaho’s government-run schools? Since 1971, the state of Idaho has afforded collective bargaining rights to school labor unions, the chief beneficiary of which is the Idaho Education Association, the NEA’s Idaho affiliate.  In recent years, […]
