(Idaho Freedom Foundation) The Boise School District (BSD) has been training teachers in radical gender ideology, including pressuring teachers to affirm students’ different sexual identities such as “pansexual,” “transgender,” “gender queer,” and “non-binary.” Teachers were told to use pronouns corresponding to a student’s gender identity, regardless of their deeply held personal or religious beliefs. They were given resources from radical groups advocating for genital mutilation surgery on children. The trainings were conducted by a Boise State University (BSU) professor and a representative of the “anti-racist” group Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID).
The Idaho Freedom Foundation’s Center for American Education has obtained many public records from the BSD, which has given teachers training that translate the basic tenets of Queer Theory into K-12 pedagogy.
Between March 2022 and April 2023, gender ideology trainings were given to more than 70 teachers on at least two occasions in the BSD. (Read More)
