The state of Idaho is locked in a legal debacle over a law six professors and two teachers unions who claim it has inhibited free speech in the classroom by "criminalizing" discussions that contain pro-choice views.
The lawsuit, filed with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Idaho, challenges the No Public Funds for Abortion Act that prohibits schools from promoting abortion and bars public institutions from engaging in business transactions with abortion providers.
The lawsuit, brought by five University of Idaho professors, one Boise State University professor, the Idaho Federation of Teachers and the University of Idaho Faculty Federation, alleges the measure's language isn't clear and fears of potential consequences for holding discussions on abortion have impeded discussions inside the classroom.
