| Idaho Legislator: State Considering Defunding Leftist Agenda on Boise State Campus |
| 2019-09-24 |
| [BREITBART] Idaho House Representative Tammy Nichols spoke to SiriusXM Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle that Idaho’s state legislators are considering defunding Boise State University after revelations that the school’s new president, Marlene Tromp, is seeking to implement a leftist agenda at the university. “[In] a lot of conservative areas, there’s this attack that’s going on — and we’re seeing things slipping in,” said Rep. Nichols on Saturday. “Idaho has been one of the fastest growing states in the nation, so we’ve been getting people from all over, moving to our state.” “We had a new president for Boise State [Marlene Tromp] that was selected to take over,” continued Nichols, “and we got a hold of an email that was sent out after she took her position — changes she wanted to make [to the university] — and as we started looking through this email, we became really concerned.” |

| #7 That's exactly a problem I've. How come these kids internalize all this crap? We knew that the teachers are the enemy! |

| #6 Fair enough gromgoru. I have pretty different experiences, so I'm coming from a different place. I know our K-12 schools pushed a lot of crap onto people, but they were just so bad at teaching ANYTHING that most of it didn't stick. |

| #5 ^My school was OK, but it was 40+ year ago. My conclusions based on spending a few decades in academia before teaching K-12. |

| #4 Gromgoru - I believe that this could be the case now, but at least when I was in school, I saw the minds of so many classmates decimated by relentless leftists BS at university even after they made it to 17-19 without being too badly off. It seems so hard to believe that things have gotten even worse in a relatively short time (I entered university in the late 00s). The university indoctrination really was a lot worse than in K-12, at least where I was (our school drew very heavily from more conservative areas of our state, so parents might have been resisting better while their kids were in school). |

| #3 It starts in K-12, Vernal - what you see in universities are the ripe fruit. |

| #2 It is really encouraging that the state legislature is paying attention! In so many states, even extremely conservative ones, everybody just ignores what the universities are up to and lets all of this garbage continue without end. |
