    As an agricultural state, Idaho has a lot of cows and with a lot of cows comes a lot of manure.

    For many farmers this can quickly turn into a pollution headache, especially when it's time for disposal. However, this waste could soon become an important facet of sustainability. Over the last few years, cow manure has been reused to make, not just fertilizer, but electricity, fuel, packaging and now plastic.

    Erik Coats, Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Idaho, joins Idaho Matters to talk more about this unique commodity.

    On Sunday President Joe Biden said the COVID-19 pandemic was over.

    Speaking on CBS's "60 Minutes," Biden raised concern among health officials who are trying to get Americans to take a new booster shot, all while trying to convince congress to come up with $22 billion for testing and more research into the coronavirus.

    This comes after a report last week in the Idaho Capitol Sun that said as many as 10% of adults in Idaho are suffering from effects of long-Covid, which is far higher than the national average.

    Dr. David Pate, Former CEO of St Luke's Health System and current member of the Idaho Coronavirus Task Force, joins Idaho Matters to talk about this and answer your questions.

    Research shows 96% of children under the age of four have used a mobile device, and in this day and age it's almost impossible for parents to monitor and protect their children at every turn when it comes to electronics.

    That's where Catherine Pearlman, a licensed clinical social worker and parenting expert comes in. Pearlman has written a new book that teaches children how to be safe in the digital space. It's called "First Phone: A Child's Guide to Digital Responsibility, Safety, and Etiquette." She joins Idaho Matters to talk more about her book and how parents can help their children be responsible while using technology.

    On June 24 the Supreme Court of the United States overturned its 1973 ruling of Roe v. Wade and gave states the power to decide abortion laws.

    That ruling was an "unprecedented power grab” according to Dr. David Adler, who says it relegates women to second-class citizenship. Dr. Adler is a constitutional scholar and he speaks and writes frequently on the constitution and presidential power.

    This week Dr. Adler will be giving a lecture on recent Supreme Court decisions, as well as the January 6 hearings at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State. He joined Idaho Matters to share more about his upcoming talk.

    The impact of book bans on Idaho students Sep 20, 2022

    Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Harriet Beecher Stowe; these authors share more than just a legacy of classic literature and a place in school curriculums. They’re authors whose works have been banned from classrooms over the years for content some deemed controversial or obscene.

    Across the country, books are once again being challenged in schools and libraries, with librarians holding the line to make sure there’s access to materials some find inappropriate. Here in Idaho, the pressure to remove books from library shelves is coming from activist groups and the GOP party.

    Dr. Jonathan Friedman, the director of free expression and education programs at PEN America, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about book banning. He will be in Boise later this week as part of a panel discussion at the City Club of Boise where they will discuss what kinds of books are being challenged and why. They'll also take a look at who should and should not be deciding what books make it onto the library shelves and into our children's hands.

    Idaho made national news last week when a Fox News host and the conservative outlet Breitbart News both said the state was teaching elementary school students about pornography.

    The national headlines were based on an article by the Idaho Freedom Foundation, which said the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare purchased sex education courses from a group that “advocates for teaching elementary students about porn literacy.”

    Kevin Richert, the Senior Reporter and Blogger at Idaho Ed News and has been following this story and joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.
