Fiscal Fridays: DEI Lives-on in Idaho Higher Ed.

Idahoans have been funding the Marxist cultural movement in Idaho’s colleges and universities, and the legislature has made virtually no progress toward curbing it.
The legislature’s apathy toward the leftist takeover is particularly concerning for a red state.
Several initiatives from Conservatives to curb the expansion of diversity, equity, and inclusion programming were killed this year. These include a policy bill to ban spending public funds on DEI and to fire DEI bureaucrats and moves in JFAC for a line item reduction to DEI spending.
So, how did we get here, and what is next on the horizon for defending our state from a Marxist takeover?
We will break this down on this week’s episode of Fiscal Fridays.
