State of Idaho secondary Archives: on Education


Ammon Bundy: Government shouldn't be in the education business at all

I do not believe the government should be in the education business at all. However, the practicality of that, we are far from. Therefore, I believe that parents who want to educate their children without interference from the government should be protected and not regulated. Public funds should follow the child and the parents decide where that money goes. This would create a more free market education system, bring accountability to schools, and create a much better education system.

I strongly oppose forced curriculums or education "standards" such as "Common Core." As governor, I will ensure we prevent and eliminate (where necessary) all "standards" which are detrimental to schools, families, educators, and most importantly--to Idaho's children. And I will also advocate any legislation that offers parent's a choice for where to send their children to school.

Ed Humphreys: Problems in education will be solved through school choice

Problems in education will be solved by returning power to families and teachers through school choice. Nothing will have a more positive impact on wage growth for teachers and protect the free exchange of ideas in public education than school choice.

Our state universities teach ideologies counter to Idahoans values. Even worse, families have little power over how children are educated in public schools. Whether knowingly or not, some of our state government is supporting anti-American activists with our tax dollars. From special interest "science" to racist indoctrination, there is a taxpayer funded support structure to market socialist and communist ideas.

Janice McGeachin: Children should not be taught to hate America nor each other

Education is one of our traditional values. I do not support cronyism that costs Idaho's taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. Idaho needs an education system that prepares young people to live productive lives, not one that indoctrinates them in Marxist, socialist ideology. Our children should not be taught to hate America nor to hate each other. I have assembled a Task Force that will soon begin assessing these issues.

Yesterday evening, I was on Tucker Carlson Tonight to talk about our efforts to Make Idaho Free Again. Our state and our country are under attack. The radical left is working overtime to undermine our individual rights, compromise our state sovereignty, and obliterate our traditional conservative values. They are infiltrating our schools and universities with Marxist indoctrination and the lies and fallacies of critical race theory.

Janice McGeachin: Supports internships, apprenticeship training, trade schools

I have long been a strong supporter of internships, apprenticeship training, and trade schools. It's why I serve as President of the Career Technical Education Foundation Board. In Idaho's schools, we will teach our kids how to build, design, engineer, cook, serve, compute, barber, and work as police, firefighters, nurses, doctors, electricians, and plumbers.
