Idaho Business for Education (IBE) describes itself as follows: “We are the only statewide business organization in Idaho that is focused solely on education.

Idaho Medical Association goes after Idaho doc for advocating alternatives to COVID-19 vaccines

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
October 11, 2021
I’ve never been a huge fan of the Idaho Medical Association, a big government special interest group that has often advocated for the most destructive of policy ideas. They’ve advocated for Medicaid expansion, allowing minors to get vaccines without parental permission, and requiring nearly all vaccines administered to adults and children in Idaho to go […]

Idaho media should be embarrassed over McGeachin lawsuit

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
October 6, 2021
Some people on the interwebs think I should be outraged at Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin because she refused to give out the names of Idahoans who had contacted her office for help fighting critical race theory in Idaho’s government schools. Actually, I’m quite proud of her. She did the right thing.  It’s the Idaho media […]

Idaho journalists ignore ugly racism from Nampa school board candidate

By Dustin Hurst
September 30, 2021
Chandra Reyna is a racist who wants to shape the minds of students in the Nampa School District.  Unfortunately, most voters in Nampa won’t ever see her ugly anti-white, anti-police messages. Why? Apparently they’re not newsworthy enough for the media to report on.  A few days ago, concerned parents in the Nampa School District started […]

Hospitals deserve blame for ‘crisis standards of care’

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
September 27, 2021
Don’t blame the unvaccinated for the activation of the state’s “crisis standards of care” at Idaho’s hospitals. Blame the state’s big hospitals. Going back to the 1980s, Idaho had close to four hospital beds for every 1,000 residents. Today, the state has slightly more than two beds per 1,000 residents. This isn’t just an Idaho […]

Idaho Gov. Brad Little, House Speaker Scott Bedke, and Senate Pro Tem Chuck Winder had no trouble tearing into President Joe Biden after he announced his dumb, vindicitive, and just plain terrble vaccine mandates. But they have been suspiciously silent about the mandate being imposed by a government agency of which they have oversight: Boise […]

It’s time yet again to crown our Statist of the Quarter, for the second quarter 2021. The competition was fierce. You voted. And the winners are Gov. Brad Little and the Flip Flop Five.  Just to remind you, Gov. Little vetoed Senate Bill 1136 and House Bill 135, two bills that would have limited his […]

By Anna Miller
September 20, 2021
Families in the Emmett School District are taking advantage of an education alternative to revive America’s lost tradition of civics education.  Although the Idaho State Board of Education sets standards for curriculum adoption and recommends certain curriculum resources, school districts have their own curriculum review process. Parents have the opportunity to provide public comment, but […]
