Legislature defunds moral corruption after IFF research

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
March 28, 2023
The Idaho Legislature just defunded the Planned Parenthood-endorsed sex education program corrupting Idaho’s children and stripped funding for gay pride events. Earlier today, the House passed Senate Bill 1182 — a budget bill stripping $579,000 in federal grant funding for sex education and $706,000 for gay pride events. Now the bill is waiting on Governor […]

Governor vetoes property tax bill to please public education bureaucracy

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
March 27, 2023
Just a short time ago, Gov. Brad Little vetoed House Bill 292, which would have given property tax relief to Idaho families. According to his press release, the governor’s top concern was the loss of the March election date for school levies, where low turnout often allows school boards to raise property taxes on their […]

Victory as Senate passes genital mutilation ban

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
March 27, 2023
Today, the Idaho Senate passed House Bill 71, which outlaws the practice of using hormones, drugs, or surgery to attempt to alter the sexual characteristics of a minor to conform to their perceived gender identity. Many legislators worked very hard to bring this bill to fruition, and we at the Idaho Freedom Foundation are proud […]

Legislature addresses loophole that allowed Planned Parenthood into public school sex ed

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
March 24, 2023
When the Legislature passes a law, you expect the state to follow it. Idaho standards and law require that sex education in public schools must teach abstinence.  Seems simple, right? Unfortunately, Idaho law has also given local school boards authority to decide how kids will learn about abstinence in sexuality education, a loophole that Planned […]

Periods, pornography, and politics

By Brian Almon
March 20, 2023
The Idaho House of Representatives voted on two bills today, each of which can reveal something of how our legislators view the proper role of government. First up was House Bill 313, which would require all public schools to provide feminine hygiene products for students in grades 6-12 at the cost of nearly three-quarters of […]

Idaho Republicans love to bash Biden but legislate like him 

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
March 14, 2023
Last year, Gov. Brad Little was one of nearly two dozen Republican governors objecting to President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program. Little called the program unfair and unconstitutional.  In an interview on NewsMax, Little said, “It’s unfair to the people that didn’t borrow and it’s more unfair to the people that made an extra effort […]

Idaho Senate lurches to the left

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
March 13, 2023
Just when we thought the Idaho Senate couldn’t get any more left-of-center, two actions on Monday make us reconsider. One has to do with illegal immigration, and the other has the state funding abortions, transgender “medicine,” and social justice. First, immigration: Last Friday, when most in the Idaho Legislature took time off to honor the […]

Meet Gena Marker: The librarian who purchased graphic books spreading gender ideology

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
March 13, 2023
By Anna Miller and Sam Dorman  IFF’s recent article about public school libraries circulating radical, obscene books has naturally prompted outrage. People want questions answered. Why, for example, would any school official think it’s appropriate to teach kids how to masturbate or normalize polyamory? How could a school district that’s supposedly accountable to taxpayers be […]

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
March 9, 2023
While other Republican-controlled states are making moves to contain the leftism incubators that are their public colleges and universities, Idaho lawmakers are gearing up to do the opposite. The Legislature’s budget committee voted Thursday to continue funding woke positions and programs at Boise State University, the University of Idaho, Idaho State University, and Lewis-Clark State […]

By Ronald M. Nate, Ph.D.
March 8, 2023
Want to know how to get escorted out of a committee hearing in the Idaho capitol? It’s easy; just shine a light on how a proposed bill benefits the donors to Governor Little. That’s what I did, and the committee chair, Senator Kevin Cook, immediately called for a state police officer to escort me from […]

Idaho school libraries promote radical sexual agendas and pornographic material

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
March 6, 2023
By Anna K. Miller and Sam Dorman  Idaho school libraries have become facilitators for a national far-left agenda that warps both sex and gender through exposure to pornographic material as well as noxious propaganda. School libraries are part of a learning environment that, along with other public libraries, serve as a "catalyst that keep[s] students […]
