BOISE — On Friday morning the House Education Committee voted unanimously to introduce a bill to prohibit schools from teaching students about “racist or sexist concepts.” Any school violating this could be subject to a withholding of up to 10% of funding from the State Board of Education. Committee Democrats walked out of the hearing in a show of opposition. They did not participate in the vote.
....Snip....
According to the bill, some of the things public schools, charter schools and any state higher education institute would no longer be allowed to teach students include:
- An individual’s race or sex means they are consciously or unconsciously racist, sexist or oppressive.
- An individual bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by members of the same race or sex.
- Merit-based systems are either racist or sexist.
- The state of Idaho is fundamentally racist or sexist.

Great, but who is “Idaho Bill”, and how does he have the authority to do this?
Sex education should be done the old fashioned way - from your buddy’s older brother with a stack of old Playboys.
At least someone should define it
