Branden Durst and other members of the radical Idaho Freedom Foundation must be defeated. Mr. Durst is a long-time member of IFF, serving as their senior analyst for education policy. Senator Scott Herndon is a charter member of the Idaho Freedom Caucus and is Idaho’s top-ranked senator, according to the Idaho Freedom Foundation.
Mr. Durst, Herndon, and the IFF saw WBCSD as their test cast to dismantle a public school district. According to previous Idaho Supreme Court Justice Jim Jones, "the IFF is demonstrating its plan to discredit and dismantle Idaho’s public schools, starting with WBCSD."
