Indoctrinating Our Children by Dick Sherwin Lewiston Tribune, October 6, 2022

We must remain ever vigilant to guard the moldable minds of our youth.

According to the Sept. 23 Lewiston Tribune article titled "Speaking up for Salmon," the Idaho Conservation League has infiltrated our children to indoctrinate them with the philosophy of breaching the lower Snake River dams. They have collected nearly 23,000 signatures advocating dam breaching with the intent of sending them to President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.

The Youth Salmon Protectors was started by 16-year-old Scout Alford, under the umbrella of ICL.

Alford is the daughter of Tribune editor and publisher Nathan Alford.

The Lewiston Tribune has consistently catered to the dam-breaching crowd with very little objectivity.

Parents should be aware of the efforts of groups such as Idaho Conservation League and Save Our Wild Salmon to indoctrinate our youth, often against the wishes and political views of their parents. If your child is involved in this scheme by radical environmentalists to capture their hearts and minds, you may want to speak to them about learning all sides of the complex issue of dam breaching before becoming pawns of those who seek to use their gullibility against their parents' wishes.

We must remain ever vigilant to guard the moldable minds of our youth against those who would use them to accomplish their own political agendas.
