BOISE, Idaho — Idaho House Bill 226 would have likely passed in any other session but it became a flashpoint within the statehouse when it failed 34-36 after one Republican representative made 'sexist' remarks about mothers staying home and other Republicans expressing unfounded concerns of a "social justice ideology" being taught to children.
