BOISE, Idaho â Caitlin Basko is a political science major at Boise State University. She is part of the Idaho Students for Education, which organized a forum inviting students across the valley to share their concerns on House Bill 377, the legislation recently signed by Governor Brad Little.
The forum took place at the Boise State quad on Saturday. Basko believes the legislation could create challenges.
âI think what does bill does is scare teachers,â she said. âEducators already have it so hard this year. I can imagine teaching in a classroom and being terrified that if I teach my curriculum and I teach about history I could be putting myself in harm s way. This is the idea that speaking up and telling the truth can get them in trouble is terrifying for them.
