Idaho Freedom Foundation statement on UF 200 investigation

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff
May 25, 2021
The Idaho Freedom Foundation is hardly surprised to see that Boise State University’s investigation into its controversial University Foundations 200 courses has been fruitless. As we previously pointed out, “The problem is the propagandizing and indoctrinating of students in a false and pernicious ideology, not their humiliation.” The investigation report provides no answers to important […]

If Tromp won’t listen to lawmakers on social justice, she needs to work elsewhere

By Wayne Hoffman
May 21, 2021
It appears that Boise State University President Marlene Tromp still has not gotten the message that Idahoans are tired of the school’s indoctrinating social justice programs. In public and in private, Tromp has recently struck a tone that suggests little will change at BSU despite the Legislature’s restrictions on critical race theory (CRT) and $1.5 […]

The fight to fix Idaho education continues this summer and fall

By Wayne Hoffman
May 14, 2021
Yes, the legislative session is over, but the fight to fix what’s gone wrong with the government education system is not. That work is just getting warmed up.  Right away, the State Board of Education needs to get its house in order. The board added to the state teacher certification standards a requirement that educators […]

Idaho's blueprint for red state higher education reform

By Anna Miller
May 10, 2021
By Anna K. Miller and Dr. Scott Yenor Disruption of higher education is not inevitable. The higher education industry has weathered online education, for-profit schools and the COVID-19 crisis. Perhaps many mid-level liberal arts schools will close down in the next decade, but generous public subsidies may well keep more than a few alive through […]

Conservatives win big on education during the 2021 Idaho legislative session

By Wayne Hoffman
May 6, 2021
If there’s one thing to remember from the 2021 legislative session, it’s that the Idaho Legislature became the first legislative body in the country to successfully push back against the Marxist indoctrination happening in primary, secondary, and higher education.  The Legislature rejected a $6 million federal grant for pre-kindergarten, a grant that would have given […]

Teachers, parents, and kids need Idaho lawmakers to stop public school indoctrination

By Wayne Hoffman
May 1, 2021
Idaho education officials are being dishonest when they say there’s no evidence of leftist indoctrination in our public schools and universities. They’re also being dishonest when they claim that the newly-signed House Bill 377 prevents critical race theory from being taught.  The legislation is certainly helpful. It says that students can no longer be compelled […]

Statist of the Week: Sen. Fred Martin

By Wayne Hoffman
April 30, 2021
This week’s winner was also recently featured as a part of a cabal of statists known as the Flip Flop Five: Patti Anne Lodge, Jim Woodward, Jim Guthrie, Jim Patrick, and Fred Martin. These state senators voted to sustain the governor’s veto of a bill that would have rolled back the governor’s emergency powers.  Now, […]

The latest higher education budget isn't an improvement

By Fred Birnbaum
April 29, 2021
The Idaho House rejected Senate Bill 1179, the college and university budget, in a 13-57 vote. The lopsided rejection reflected, among other things, no meaningful reductions to address universities’ propensity to use public money to advance social activism, critical race theory, and a generally leftist world view. In addition, many credible stories emerged of conservative-leaning […]

Idaho charter school pushed BLM, anti-gun propaganda on second-graders

By Anna Miller
April 26, 2021
A public charter school in Garden City pushed activism on second-grade children by telling them to create “protest signs promoting social justice.” The picketing signs featuring Black Lives Matter fist symbols are hung across the walls of Future Public School. The signs, written by seven-year-olds under the instruction of adults, have messages like, “From now […]

Idaho House lives up to conservative promises, faces left-leaning Senate

By Wayne Hoffman
April 20, 2021
Idaho has the most conservative House of Representatives it has ever seen. That is not the doing of House Speaker Scott Bedke. Bedke hasn’t changed at all, clocking in at 66 percent right now on the Idaho Freedom Index.  What’s different is the makeup of the rest of the Republicans serving in the state House […]

Meridian Middle School newsletter urges teachers to see skin color and check privilege

By Dustin Hurst
April 16, 2021
A newsletter made available to teachers and staff at Meridian Middle School encourages readers to engage in “culturally relevant teaching,” a nice-sounding phrase that masks what the document actually seeks.  The document, entitled “Stall Seat Journal” because it’s available in bathroom stalls at Meridian Middle School, encourages educators to see students’ skin color, a key […]
