Teachers object to Ehardt education committee comments
House Education Committee Chair Lance Clow
BOISE, Idaho (KIFI)-Idaho teachers are objecting to comments made by Idaho Falls State Representative Barbara Ehardt during a House Education Committee meeting this week.
During the budget session, Ehardt complained about spending money on public education while some students were being taught from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The reason that they’re suffering is because they’re in the classroom with teachers that don’t want to be there teaching,” said Ehardt. “So why do we want to keep giving money to classrooms that may contain teachers that don’t want to be there…and wouldn’t that be a poor use of the money?”
