[Boise State University @BoiseState]

Is the state headed in the right direction or is it on the wrong track? The gap between those opinions has been narrowing in recent years, but what do Idahoans say now?
7th annual Idaho Public Policy Survey now available.

Do Idahoans think things in Idaho are headed in the right direction or off on the wrong track? @BoiseStateSPS asks each year in our Annual Idaho Public Policy Survey & tomorrow morning we’ll release the latest results— 10:30am in the Lincoln Auditorium. #idleg #idpol

If this closure happens, it will only add fuel to the fire of packed shelters in Ada County.

Funding for the hotel rooms serving as extra shelter space for Interfaith Sanctuary are also set to close in ten days.

@benshapiro I know how to weld. It’s a valuable skill, but it can be a dangerous, unhealthy job, especially if your boss doesn’t value your safety. Also, welders can benefit from college (engineering, for example) - education is not the enemy.

@Walton_Emily Kierkegaard made a pretty good argument that a personal struggle between faith and doubt is at the very core of what it means to be Christian. If that’s true, then criminalizing doubt is a good way to destroy Christianity, leaving only an empty, institutional husk behind.

@almostbrenda @AcademicChatter It was the only option I could afford or even knew how to do, since I managed to build relationships at each stage (still working on PhD) that helped me move on to the next stage. Regardless of the perceived disadvantages, I'd definitely do it that way again.

[The Blue Review @reviewblue]
