The Real Threat to Democracy

By Brent Regan
June 7, 2021
By Brent Regan | Board Chairman, Idaho Freedom Foundation The Idaho Statesman reports that Senate President Pro Tem Chuck Winder called the Idaho Freedom Foundation “one of the biggest threats” Idaho has to its democracy. The Statesman, apparently lacking any morsel of journalistic curiosity failed to ask the essential question "How does the IFF pose […]

Winder’s Senate, not the IFF, is biggest threat facing Idaho and the nation

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
June 4, 2021
Senate Pro Tem Chuck Winder insulted conservative Idahoans this week when he told the City Club of Boise that the Idaho Freedom Foundation is the “biggest threat to democracy” the state faces. First of all, this is not a democracy. It’s a constitutional republic. But that said, in reality it’s Winder and his Senate that […]

BSU law firm report is more media ploy than investigation into indoctrination

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President
June 2, 2021
It should be obvious that Boise State University’s “independent” investigation into problems with the school’s mandatory racism and intolerance class known as University Foundations 200 was just a public relations ploy.  Launching the investigation got lawmakers temporarily off BSU’s back while the school’s budget was under review. Releasing a summary of the investigation’s findings last […]

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, IFF’s former President
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, IFF’s former President
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, IFF’s former President
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, IFF’s former President
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, IFF’s former President
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 […]
