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, IFF’s former President

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 […]

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

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 […]

Homeschooling on the rise in Idaho

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

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, IFF’s former President

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 […]

Idaho officials protect vaccine mandate with lies about supporting limited government

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

July 23, 2021

Isn’t it convenient that certain members of the Idaho Legislature and Gov. Brad Little are suddenly feigning interest in limited government? They say they’re not interested in stopping government-funded Idaho hospitals and clinics from imposing a vaccine mandate on all their employees, volunteers, and vendors because they're against regulation. How disingenuous is that? Let me […]

Biden’s preschool plan replaces the beneficial effects of parenting with government intervention

By Idaho Freedom Foundation staff

July 19, 2021

By Anna K. Miller and Niklas Kleinworth Early education advocates want you to believe that the case for universal preschool is so concrete that questioning its track record is an act of heresy. After all, who wouldn’t want to help adorable little kids get an early start on success? But the data show universal preschool […]

Lawmakers have immediate reason to target Big Medicine's vaccine mandate

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

July 16, 2021

A pair of Idaho Supreme Court cases that Saint Alphonsus and St. Luke's hospitals won on May 19 greatly expands the medical procedures that taxpayers have to cover. The additional bills could run into the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, with no ceiling. The fleecing of taxpayers comes just as Saint Alphonsus, St. […]
