On Friday afternoon, all University of Idaho employees were informed that any discussion about abortion or birth control that was not completely neutral could result in immediate dismissal, a permanent ban from working for the State of Idaho, a felony charge and fines.
This is the result of the Dobbs decision dusting off an old "zombie" law from 1972 that is still on the books: legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/…
Hard to imagine what could make it clearer that laws are often tools of the powerful to control people and views they dislike.
It's wild that less than one month ago, @GovernorLittle convened an emergency session of the #idleg - not to fix this old law from being reactivated - but, to head off a citizen initiative that would increase k-12 education funding.
