It is a preventative measure. It does not indicate that we have a rampant problem in Idaho. But we don\u2019t want to get one,\u201d as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9515031\/Idaho-Senate-bans-teaching-critical-race-theory-schools.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a> reported<\/p>\n<p>The Idaho Freedom Foundation, which <a href=\"https:\/\/idahofreedom.org\/about\/\">states<\/a> that its mission since 2009 has been to \u201cadvance conservative principles \u2014 limited government, free markets and self-reliance,\u201d acknowledged the bill \u201cbans public institutions of higher education and K-12 schools from compelling students to adopt or affirm the divisive tenets of Critical Race Theory,\u201d but still <a href=\"https:\/\/idahofreedom.org\/house-bill-377-public-education-nondiscrimination\/\">expressed its disappointment<\/a> with the bill, stating:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p><em>The bill does nothing to protect faculty members, professors or teachers. Under House Bill 377, faculty members, teachers and professors could still be forced to undergo anti-racism or culturally responsive training if they wish to serve on search committees or even obtain or keep a job. When educators are trained to be activists, the classroom becomes inherently political and one-sided. Additionally, the bill imposes no consequences on public universities and schools that violate section 33-138 of the bill by compelling students to affirm Critical Race Theory. Such consequences could be holding back funds, recognizing a cause for unemployment, or other disciplinary action. Therefore this bill does not provide sufficient accountability for public schools and universities.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cFor many people, Critical Race Theory training and educational programs violate both freedom of conscience and freedom of speech. Their freedom of speech is violated by being compelled to admit to complicity in racism and sexism that are unlikely to be true,\u201d The Idaho Freedom Foundation added.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
