Update: Idado Gov. Brad Little on late April 28 signed H 377 into law. 

“The claim that there is widespread, systemic indoctrination occurring in Idaho classrooms is a serious allegation,” Little wrote in the bill’s transmittal letter addressed to Republican House Speaker Scott Bedke, reported The Associated Press. “Most worryingly, it undermines popular support for public education in Idaho.”
