On this show, regular hosts Daniel Bobinski and Josh Gibbons are joined by Stephanie Zimmerman and Mila Wood, founders of Idahoans for Local Education.
School Choice
On Feb. 7, Education researcher Corey DeAngelis gave a presentation in Boise (hosted by the Idaho Freedom Foundation) called "Fund Students, Not Systems." The push in this movement is for money to follow students and allow students to spend that money at a school of their choice.
Zimmerman and Wood pointed out the standard government practice that "with shekels come shackles." In other words, if a school takes a voucher or coupon, will the school be required to teach according to federal standards, such as Common Core?
When School Choice legislation does come up on the legislative docket, parents should be sure to connect with their legislators to ensure a freedom to choose one's school does not eliminate the freedom to choose curriculum.
Other education topics include the recent resignation of the Nampa Superintendent, and reports that say Idaho will need 100 new schools before the year 2030. Mila Wood suggested that to preclude established residents having to foot the bill for building new schools, growth should pay for itself.
Establishment Lies About Senator Christy Zito
Sen. Zito tried to get grocery tax repeal added as an amendment to the income tax bill, but Senate leadership shut it down, then lied and smeared Zito, saying she was trying to cancel the income tax relief bill. That was not true, yet Senate leadership doubled down and silenced Zito when she tried to explain the situation on the Senate floor.
Zito appeared on Bobinski’s Keep the Republic TV show this past week to discuss the issue. The show can be seen here: https://www.brighteon.com/dd9f915c-e9fd-4b0a-a9a2-0b7746f0b7d0
