While I don’t often think much about conspiracy theories, I believe that this Left/Right rift is becoming more violent by the day. I also believe that the answer to this conundrum lies in our public education system and our left-leaning teachers and professors at our public schools, colleges, and universities. I came across an interesting […]
Please don’t tell my wife. Today after doing a PERPLEXITY AI search, I changed my mind. My mother used to say that if I didn’t have an opinion about something then give me 10 secs! I found out that Division 1 College athletes graduate at a higher rate than Division 3 athletes. The numbers used […]
There is certainly a big difference between an argument in logic verses the creation of a story that supports a political narrative. For several generations, the critical thinking skills that are supposed to be incorporated into a curriculum taught by teachers and professors to our students, has been replaced by programs designed to indoctrinate. Instead […]
The Case for School Choice I’m not sure how many times I have to say this but if you want to solve the problems with our school system, parents need to start by attending the school board meetings and voting for conservative board members. It’s interesting that Idaho is still at the bottom of the […]
Social change doesn’t happen gradually. It happens in fits and bursts. In retrospect, the line between the old values and the “new way” can be seen very clearly, but when we are in the middle of such a change, we oftentimes don’t know it. I believe we are today at a crossroads and in the […]
Many Idahoans are still under the impression that we are still a “Red” state when indeed we have crossed the Rubicon of liberalism in our most populated counties a long time ago. In my opinion, this change has taken place because of the universities that promote liberalism in their curriculums. This is how many conservative […]

A previous estimate in February 2022, found that spending on DEI administrators across Idaho’s higher education system was around $2.2 million. In two years, the […]

College Division 1 football is in the throes of early anarchy. There is much to learn from the misadministration of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) that can be applied to any field of endeavor, but especially to anyone who believes that the cure to any problem is money alone. Decisions are being made by […]
DON’T TAKE EDUCATED PEOPLE TOO SERIOUSLY There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. I listened on the radio to the Idaho PBS broadcast of the testimony of a President of an Idaho University before the Idaho legislature (JFAC) committee. The testimony started out with a flattering discussion that 91% of the legislators had attended […]
The Governor’s state of the state speech was full of platitudes with a large part devoted to talking about Idaho’s education system. Unfortunately, Idaho still ranks number 43 in education. In the last year, we have found out how our education system is being run, which was brought out in a current Caldwell school district […]
I feel I have no choice but to write to you. Maybe, this time, you will read a letter? It has become incredibly clear over the past 4 years you have no interest in meeting with me or anyone from the team in Idaho that supports children with Dyslexia. Maybe you will take a few […]
