The Idaho Freedom Foundation recently filed a lawsuit against the Boise Independent School District for diverting funds from the classroom to union leaders' salaries and activities, a practice not exclusive to Boise. The Idaho Press Tribune has editorialized in favor of the lawsuit and notes that Northwest Professional Educators (NWPE) offers teachers an alternative to the political activism of the Idaho Education Association. Although the editorial writer mischaracterizes NWPE as a union (it is not), it correctly notes that NWPE offers many of the same advantages but without the controversial politics. See the entire editorial below.

Many educators in districts throughout the state may be facing a call by their local unions to go out on strike. What should a conscientious teacher do? This is not simply a moral and ethical dilemma, but a legal one. There are real and potentially severe penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment for the actions teachers take.
