Looking backward and forward at COVID-19 mitigation strategies

By Dr. John Livingston
August 23, 2021
Some 20 months into the pandemic, America is still having heated debates about appropriate and wise virus mitigation strategies. The disease like AIDS has become politicized, and the agenda and narrative are overshadowing evidence and logic.  Conclusions regarding masks, vaccines, and the opening of schools and churches have been tainted by economic and political agendas […]

Education officials plot COVID-19 tests while showing little concern for academic performance

By Wayne Hoffman
August 23, 2021
If you have a youngster in Idaho’s government-run schools, now would be a good time to either start demanding answers from state and local education officials or reconsider your schooling options. The latest in a long string of disappointments comes in the form of Gov. Brad Little’s decision to sidestep the Legislature and order $30 […]

Explained: How Gov. Little sidestepped the Legislature to fund COVID testing in schools

By Fred Birnbaum
August 19, 2021
Idaho Gov. Brad Little announced in an August 12 press release that he is directing $30 million to expand COVID-19 testing in Idaho K-12 schools.  Wait a minute: Didn’t the Legislature, specifically the Idaho House of Representatives, reject this very appropriation? Yes. The House voted down Senate Bill 1210 on April 27 on a 28-41 […]

Leftist 'reporters' fuel fear over Cole appointment

By Emri Moore
August 18, 2021
No one should be dazed that members from the press quickly jumped on Twitter to throw tantrums over Ada County commissioners voting to appoint Dr. Ryan Cole to the health board.  Dr. Cole is a pathologist in Boise and has been awfully scrutinized by the press for his opinions about masks, lockdowns and vaccines.  Audrey […]

School superintendents ignore record of failure

By Wayne Hoffman
August 16, 2021
Last month, four retired Idaho school superintendents decided to attack the Idaho Freedom Foundation for our work exposing the radicalization and indoctrination of our public school students. It’s important to remind parents and taxpayers that our concern about public education goes back well before we ever uttered a word about a social justice agenda being […]

This Idaho school district is teaching woke mathematics

By Anna Miller
August 13, 2021
Despite claims to the contrary, Coeur d’Alene public school officials are requiring educators to apply the racial prejudice of critical race theory (CRT) to school lessons. In recent weeks, parents in the school district have objected to CRT’s mischaracterization of American values and asked officials to remove this racially discriminatory dogma from their schools district […]

Bedke, Gov. Little should call the Legislature back to session

By Wayne Hoffman
August 12, 2021
Throughout the country, people are being coerced to surrender control over their bodies and their medical privacy. Petty tyrants abound, in government offices and in corporate headquarters. Supposedly free Americans are being told that their right to work, travel, shop, and congregate will be severely abridged if they don’t inject a foreign substance into their […]

Heartbreaking: Idaho man paralyzed after receiving COVID-19 vaccine

By Emri Moore
August 9, 2021
How many times during the pandemic have we heard we need to get vaccinated to get back to “normal?” Probably more times than we can count. The media continues to push this narrative that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, but always fails to report the thousands of vaccine injuries that are occurring daily. According […]

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
August 6, 2021
By Anna K. Miller and Niklas Kleinworth Many parents objected to public school mask mandates and poor virtual learning environments during the pandemic, according to new data suggesting homeschooling is on the rise in Idaho — and the nation.  New data from the United States Census Bureau shows that 11.1% of K-12 students across America […]

Insider perspective: Legislative ethics committees weaponized to target conservatives

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
August 5, 2021
By Daniel D. Foreman | Special to the Idaho Freedom Foundation I was the duly elected Idaho state senator for District 5 for the 2017 and 2018 legislative sessions, and I wish to make it clear I have no proverbial axe to grind against any past or present member of the Idaho Legislature. I wish […]

Vaccine mandate should be viewed as assault, invasion of privacy

By Wayne Hoffman
August 3, 2021
The Idaho lawmakers defending Big Medicine’s decision to impose vaccine mandates on their employees, contractors, and volunteers are trying to make it out as if they’re unable to intervene in an employer-employee relations question. I’ve already explained why such arguments are disingenuous (Hint: lawmakers regulate businesses all the time) but it’s important to remind people […]

Idaho K-12 funding formula needs reform, less than 3% of operating dollars spent based on students

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
July 26, 2021
By Anna K. Miller & Niklas Kleinworth Idaho’s K-12 school districts and teachers unions regularly gripe about being the last state in the country in per student spending. The central problem, however, is an inflexible and arbitrary education funding model that is not meeting students' or educators' needs. Currently, only 2.4% of Idaho’s education operating […]
