RE: Boise State, Ibram Kendi, and... RECEIPTS

@BoiseState had Ibram Kendi speak at their 2023 MLK Living Legacy Celebration. He's thought by many to be one of the most divisive, racist people on the planet.

But... who paid for it?

I emailed BSU and they told me this:

"Monday’s keynote address by Dr. Ibram Kendi at the 2023 MLK Living Legacy Celebration was organized, planned, funded and executed by students. No appropriated dollars were used for the event."

When I asked who paid for it specifically they said:

"The fee was $25k plus $2,500 for travel expenses, paid from student fees and not appropriated funds."

Now I have the contract btwn "Boise State University" & Kendi's agency, it appears to be illegal

Here's what to expect in the upcoming #idleg education policy debates. As I outline my predictions and share some personal anecdotes, please bear with me for a moment. Without further delay, let me delve into the specifics...#idpol #idedu

I've noticed a number of promising bills that promote education freedom through the use of Education Savings Accounts (ESA). AZ, WV, and FL have all implemented successful school choice models. Ultimately, it's about empowering PARENTS with more control over their child's edu.

Beware! The educational elites, special interest groups, and media will fiercely oppose anyone who wants to give parents more freedom in education and allow children to escape failing government schools. In fact, the attacks are already underway.

Investigating the ultimate Education Freedom plan that will increase per pupil spending & decrease class sizes. 2 things that should satisfy union & @reclaimID desires if they are truly honest about who they serve. #IDLeg #IDPol #IDEdu

A Thread 🧵
Much attention has been directed at what the 67th Idaho legislature will be doing with the "historic" increases in state education funding that have been passed over the past several years, including the special session in Sept of this year.
But the biggest news in education funding and freedom in this country happened earlier this year down in Arizona. With AZ's proven success, Idaho can bypass the trial period and implement a similar program for all Idaho families. the74million.org/article/arizon…

For those listening to Panhandle Health District, their stream went down. Their PIO said they're trying to get the county to fix it. #idpol #idahocovid19
Watching the KHQ feed, which is nice, but doesn't fulfill the open meeting obligations. I believe they are stopping the meeting right now to try to fix the Internet issues, though!
Kudos to the Panhandle Health District for shutting down the meeting to address the Internet connectivity issues.

They're back in session now. Currently, a man wearing a VAXXED shirt is giving false information about mask safety.
