The History Lesson Washington D.C. Doesn't Want You to Know

Posted by on Friday, February 25, 2011, In : Analysis

Enemies of freedom have always used racial and religious differences to divide people while they take more power for themselves. It's no different today.

The Greatest Story Never Told: Another black history month is nearly gone, and it's another year where the government-schools and the pundits fail to teach Americans an important history lesson...the one that goes like this - "OK, for all these years, we've been telling you that states' rights and nullification was evil and all about racism....

State Education Budget and Technology

Posted by on Friday, February 18, 2011, In : Analysis

State Representative Steven Thayn recently sent to interested Idahoans a nine-point proposal to reduce educational expenditures, including a reduction in costs for educational technology.

That means that teachers receive a 15% reduction in salary right off the top and then have to somehow earn it back. There is no way you can earn that back in merit pay. Tom Luna is taking away salaries to fund merit pay.
Fact: Under the Students Come First plan, the state will fully restore the instructional salary grid and teachers will continue to be paid based on steps and lanes now and in the future. This...
