. PSU grad here (Ed. D.). PSU gets a bad rap. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than a lot of people think. My apologies for comparing PSU to Boise St. That was uncalled for. No worries, and really no need to apologize. You stated an opinion, and I stated mine. America!

I have been in the panhandle of Idaho at least 35 times over 3 decades for winter sports and helping a friend remodel a family cabin. It is my opinion that the extremism has progressively gotten worse over that time. When I first started going up there I was kind of shocked by how overt the nazism and white identity that was in that neck of the woods. Bigots and extremists were and are very comfortably open about their views.
I'm just a farm kid from Oregon and saw bigotry and racism that was mostly from people that never knew anybody that wasn't white. I spent the latter 60's in the Army and met people of color that became brothers to me.
I consider myself fairly conservative but many of these folks in Idaho are way out on the fringes politically.
My partner is native American and has a number of relatives that used to live in CDA area down to Plummer. They have all moved to the Spokane area which isn't the best but is eons ahead of CDA in race relations.
As far as Boise State goes, google Scott Yenor. He is a tenured professor with a disturbing outlook. I doubt he is a typical professor at BSU but they don't seem to know what to do with him.
I'm very blessed to live in Corvallis.
Go Beavs.
