By Anna Miller

GOP head honchos run oligarchy, keep conservative ideas at bay

By Wayne Hoffman
February 5, 2021
Here’s a state with big Republican supermajorities in the House and Senate and an all-Republican executive branch. And in this state, every bill is guaranteed a committee hearing and a floor vote. Every last one. I’m, of course, not talking about Idaho.  It’s North Dakota. Idaho’s Legislature is an entirely different beast, though its political […]

How social justice silences

By Anna Miller
February 2, 2021
Higher education is a unique institution founded on the ideal of genuine commitment to unfettered intellectual exploration.  Over the past decades, though, activists on college campuses have diverted university resources toward  enforcing complete intellectual and ideological conformity to social justice theory.

University presidents try to distract from their leftist propaganda

By Wayne Hoffman
February 1, 2021
The presidents of Idaho’s public universities had multiple chances over the last several days to own up to their role in promoting social justice propaganda. They had their chance to promise to implement reforms. Instead, the heads of hubris at the University of Idaho and Boise State University doubled down, deflecting from a well-documented record […]
