This episode of the Neal Larson Show focuses on the ongoing debate surrounding Idaho’s House Bill 93, a tax credit for educational expenses. Larson argues that opponents of the bill, including the IEA (Idaho Education Association) and various superintendents, are mischaracterizing it as a voucher system and engaging in fear-mongering through staged “panic tour” town halls. He emphasizes that HB 93 simply provides parents with more educational options without detracting from public school funding. He criticizes the media for adopting the “voucher” terminology and for biased coverage of the town halls.
Larson suggests that public education needs to adapt to the changing times and address parents’ concerns about progressive ideologies in schools, rather than resist change and cling to the status quo. He proposes that a federal tax credit for education could be a viable solution, giving families even greater control. The show includes an interview with Representative Wendy Horman, the sponsor of HB 93, who confirms she hasn’t been contacted by any media outlets covering the “panic tour” and calls the events political rallies. The episode touches on other topics including a shooting in New York, the Epstein case, the economy, and a petition to protect Idaho’s water (keepidahowater.com). Senator Mike Crapo is scheduled to appear on the next show.
