Advancing the social justice agenda at Lewis-Clark State College

By Anna Miller

April 1, 2021

By Dr. Scott Yenor & Anna K. Miller Lewis-Clark State College (LCSC) has joined the cult of race and gender victimology, otherwise known as social justice education. This poisonous ideology has penetrated many aspects of campus life at LCSC, from administration to general education requirements to where students live and sleep. Administrators often introduce the […]

Math is racial oppression and white babies are racist: $6 million federal grant a deliberate attempt to program wokeism into children

By Anna Miller

March 26, 2021

In a recent article, I posed the question, “Is Critical Race Theory coming to an elementary school near you?” The answer is yes. And deceptive groups want to use taxpayer dollars to ensure Critical Theory infiltrates not just elementary schools and pre-K programs but families’ homes, too. The Idaho House previously killed House Bill 226, […]

Big City Coffee’s tort claim against BSU shows lawmakers aren’t doing enough

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

March 26, 2021

Everyone in Idaho – especially lawmakers, the governor, and members of the State Board of Education – should read Sarah Jo Fendley’s damning $10 million tort claim against Boise State University, which she filed Thursday. Members of the House of Representatives should certainly read Fendley’s complaint before they vote on a budget for Idaho’s colleges and […]

By Anna Miller

March 24, 2021

Terry J. Wilson II, a former Boise State University adjunct professor, was arrested Tuesday for allegedly defacing an Abraham Lincoln statue in Boise’s Julia Davis Park.

Idaho senators side with education special interests against parents and students

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

March 19, 2021

Special interest groups including big labor unions like the Idaho Education Association seem to be winning the day at the state Legislature, thanks to liberal Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Education Committee. First, members of the committee rejected a simple House-approved measure to let school boards opt-out of collective bargaining. House Bill 174 would […]

UF 200 is tip of huge social justice iceberg at BSU

March 18, 2021

Boise State students are speaking out about how they are silenced and demoralized by activists on campus. The university's response raises a question: How extensive is the social justice rot? Our report on social justice ideology shows that Boise State is building a social justice university. This ideology asserts that all whites and especially males […]

Stopping Social Justice Ideology in Idaho

By Scott Yenor

March 17, 2021

For years, the University of Idaho has been proudly building itself into a social justice institution. Now that the Idaho Legislature has begun to question public funding for this harmful ideology, the University of Idaho hides as if it were ashamed of its handiwork. President Scott Green claims the university is “viewpoint neutral” and denies […]

Did “white privilege” lecture cause the cancellation of BSU’s social justice courses?

By Dustin Hurst

March 17, 2021

On Tuesday, Boise State University suspended all 35 of its University Foundations 200 classes. Administration explained, “a student or students have been humiliated and degraded in class on our campus for their beliefs and values.” BSU President Marlene Tromp and Interim Provost Tony Roark told students that classes would be suspended “while the university gathers […]

Acceptance of federal money could derail Idaho’s tax relief plans

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

March 12, 2021

It’s the middle of March, and the Idaho Legislature still hasn’t done anything to provide meaningful tax relief to Gem State residents. And now, there’s a possibility that waiting this long means the state won’t be able to collect $1.89 billion from the federal government’s COVID relief package and cut taxes at the same time. […]

Black Lives Matter praises Marlene Tromp for standing up to "the #GOPKKK"

By Dustin Hurst

March 11, 2021

Sometimes it matters who your friends are. Boise State has tried to convince legislators that social justice education has no place on its campus. They have implied that the IFF report on Social Justice education lacks sound data and analysis. Black Lives Matter Boise disagrees. BLM Boise sees Boise State University as their (himes-herses) ally […]

Publicly funded PBS Kids tells parents: “Babies are racist”

By Anna Miller

March 5, 2021

Kids love the playful PBS cartoons of “Sesame Street,” “Arthur,” and “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.” But what should parents do when Daniel Tiger is used to teach kids about transgenderism? Or a Sesame Street Special teaches white children they are inherently privileged and complicit in systemic racism? Or an Arthur episode acclimates kids toward becoming progressive […]

College budget plan is political theater that would allow campus leftism to continue

By Wayne Hoffman, IFF’s former President

March 5, 2021

Idaho’s legislative budget writers are being dishonest when they say a proposed higher education budget combats the leftist indoctrination happening on college and university campuses. It does not. Not even close. It is true that the Legislature’s budget committee voted to restrict the use of state funds for social justice. But that prohibition does not […]
