"Oh no. The dead have risen and they're voting Republican" - Lisa Simpson

The people of Idaho (especially those in higher education) have long been at the mercy of the right-wing fringe of the Republican party. Their decisions and actions speak for themselves:

● Constitutionally banning the already illegal act of gay marriage

● Placing a 10 Commandments monument in the capitol building using state money (according to State Senator Gary Sweet R-Meridian, it’s not a religious issue, but the responsibility of elected representatives to uphold the laws of Almighty God)

● Cutting funding for higher education while passing tax cuts for the wealthy then passing a regressive sales tax increase that effects the poorest among us the most…then wanting to stay in office just to sunset the sales tax increase (hurting higher education even more)

● Explaining that is was “Communist” to make kindergarten compulsory for Idaho children

● Demonstrating your commitment to “No Un-funded Mandates” by passing an un-funded faculty/staff salary increase on to Idaho colleges and universities

● Asking “Why should we spend more tax dollars for higher education?” “Students will make up the difference as always”

These are just recent examples. Stay tuned to this blog as it will continue to publish the truth about the only post-industrial nation in the world to treat its citizens as disposable income.
