PragerU Curriculum Sparks Debate, Boise Axes Pickleball Courts, and Pride Weekend

City Cast Boise

About
It's Friday, and host Lindsay Van Allen and political scientist Charlie Hunt are diving into the local headlines of the week. PragerU's far-right curriculum was approved for use in Idaho schools last fall; they're taking a look at whether Treasure Valley schools are using it and asking what impact it is having on local education. Then, the City of Boise's pickleball settlement has some neighbors cheering, while others are left frustrated. Plus, Boise Pride is this weekend and our team is excited to join the celebration at Ann Morrison Park!
