New crisis standards of care law will guarantee healthcare rationing

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

March 21, 2022

One lesson from the so-called pandemic that should have been learned is that the government’s involvement in healthcare is not making things better for patients. As I’ve pointed out previously, mismanagement by Idaho’s hospital systems over many decades contributed to lack of staff and hospital beds. In addition, the government’s involvement in health education and […]

The real ‘false narrative’ is that Idaho is safe from social justice agenda

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

March 2, 2022

I got a chuckle out of KTVB’s attempt to discredit the Idaho Freedom Foundation with its four-part “investigative” series on us. I suppose they thought their coverage would be groundbreaking or at least debilitating. Not even close. More Idahoans than ever are flocking to us because they want to be a part of a sensible […]

The administrative bloat of ‘diversicrats’ in Idaho’s higher education system

By Anna Miller

February 28, 2022

In 2021, Idaho’s Legislature told state universities to eschew the harmful critical social justice (CSJ) ideology and return to their core educational mission – the advancement of truth. But Idaho’s flagship universities have maintained spending on diversity administrators, or “diversicrats,” and taken their promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) underground by requiring political litmus […]

Pay no heed to Idaho’s Chicken Littles

By Kaitlyn Shepherd

February 28, 2022

Three retired Idaho superintendents recently issued a dire warning about the effects of school choice on the state’s public schools. They cautioned, “School vouchers would be detrimental to the interests of the vast majority of Idaho students, especially those in rural areas of the state.” They also asserted, “The Idaho Legislature came dangerously close to […]

Jim Jones lies about IFF, critical race theory

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

February 17, 2022

Isn't it interesting how leftists will straight up lie to you about issues you care about in order to win popular support? Such is the case with that leftist former state Supreme Court justice Jim Jones, who praised a new group formed to take on the Idaho Freedom Foundation and its friends who believe in […]

Proposal would leave incumbent protection program in place

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

February 16, 2022

Rep. Brent Crane reveals the truth about a biennial problem for the Legislature, but he gets the solution wrong. Crane’s House Bill 567 would shorten the window for candidates to file to run for office from two weeks at the end of February to one week. The real problem is that the primary election is […]

Critical social justice in K-12 education, Part 2: Collective guilt and racial scapegoating – Even in Idaho?

By Anna Miller

February 9, 2022

Meridian Middle School handed out flyers that pressured teachers to judge students by the color of their skin. It told teachers to “reject the myth of colorblindness” and treat students differently based on their level of “privilege” associated with their gender or race. It says teachers are biased whether they know it or not and […]

Reporter shows his bias after IFF's Thayn interview

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

February 7, 2022

Sen. Steven Thayn, the Senate Education Committee chairman, believes the public education system is mediocre and fundamentally flawed because it minimizes the importance of parents in favor of government. That’s what, among other things, Thayn shared with me on the Hoff Time Report last Thursday. Thayn is the first Idaho education committee chairman I’m aware […]

College and university presidents in willful defiance as they maintain social justice programs

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

February 3, 2022

It should be obvious to everyone at this point that the presidents of Idaho’s public colleges and universities don’t care one bit what you think about how they spend your money. They’re going to do whatever they damn well please, regardless of how instructed by lawmakers. And your job as a taxpayer is to pay […]

Funding the Hispanic Commission boosts social justice policymaking in Idaho

By Niklas Kleinworth

February 2, 2022

Gov. Brad Little introduced a proposal to increase funding for programs that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by 21%. Through bolstering salaries and project funding in the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs, these insidious initiatives are allowed to thrive in what many would traditionally perceive as a conservative state government. With DEI policies tearing […]

As food prices soar, it is time for Idaho to repeal the grocery tax

By Niklas Kleinworth

January 31, 2022

Grocery prices rose by 7.6% last year, making it more difficult for families to afford basic kitchen staples like meat, fruits, vegetables, and dairy. Tacking-on Idaho’s 6% sales tax on groceries only hurts consumers, especially families, by further raising the cost of putting food on the table. After years of debate, this is the perfect […]
