    Those kids can't all go to the Trumpist/DeVos Academies of Literal Bible Learning' and Science Denial. I don't think Saint Betsy of the Amway Products can build enough of them to meet the demands when kids drop out of those "government schools."

    We've got some real "gems" feeding at the ultra-conservative trough here in Idaho. Janice McGeachin, Heather Scott, Wayne Hoffman, Raul Labrador ... just to name a few. Iowa's idiot congressman Steve King would fit right in.

    The only reason Little was elected — by Idaho standards, a "chamber of commerce" Republican rather than a True Believer — is two ultra-conservatives ran against him in the 2018 GOP primary, and split the arch-conservative votes. Of course, Little went on to cruise in the general election.

    Small update: second Covid-19 test came back negative. The electronic bracelet is off and I am free to roam about the city... just in time to learn the street in front of my place is Grand Central for the Hong Kong protests. I picked a hell of a time and place to try to squeeze a few more years out my career in newspapers.

    That points to one of my concerns. These parents who are talking about opting out of public school in the fall may be choosing no education at all for their children. Technically, that isn't legal, but I imagine that is going to be a lot tougher to enforce than normal this September. Home schooling, if some try to go that route, involves a lot more than sticking a book in front of junior and going to work.
