In his State of the State and Budget Address on January 11, 2021, Governor Brad Little emphasized the need “to invest in an education system that gives the next generation of Idahoans a solid foundation for lifelong learning and meaningful employment, here at home in Idaho. Our students are also Idaho’s future workforce.”
The Building Idaho’s Future plan he outlined “will support Idaho’s higher education system as well as career technical education programs across Idaho that
connect students with employers who need them and equip students with the skills they need while they earn a degree. Our kids need to know all career paths available to them.”
Score another one for the leftist looneys in charge at Boise State University.
Whacko president Marlene Tromp put aside other pressing matters recently to issue an immediate response to the bullying of the liberal Freedom From Religion Foundation when it complained about the very troubling matter of prayer. Seems this organization, which the Deseret News in Salt Lake City called âan atheist advocacy groupâ, was offended by published photos of Boise State and BYU football players gathered in prayer following their game in Boise on Nov. 6. So it demanded that Boise State cease such offensive behavior, immediately. Which the schoolâs gutless âleadersâ so ordered, immediately.

Boise State University unequivocally supports and will fiercely defend our students’ right to the free exercise of religion. It’s shameful that parties external to the university are using a photo of student-athlete prayer as an opportunity to attempt to interfere with our student-athletes’ constitutional right to freely practice the religion of their choosing.
Despite misleading reports to the contrary, Boise State did not end its relationship with Pastor Mark Thornton. We seriously evaluated the constitutional considerations related to this matter, our legal team made an appropriate response, and we remain committed to protecting all student-athletes’ individual rights under the Free Exercise Clause, including access to Pastor Thornton.
