A beacon of light : Wassmuth Center seeks to open $3 million education center in Boise Hayley Harding, The Idaho Statesman
Jan. 21 The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights, home to Idaho s Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, is planning to build a new education center at the memorial.
The center would include 3,500 square feet on the first floor for daily operations, including staff space, a Docent Center to begin and end tours, and a memorial shop. A Human Rights Classroom would be on the second floor and offer 2,200 square feet of space.
That would make room for more programming, including traveling exhibits. The classroom would be able to host professional development for teachers as well as human rights clubs for students in 7th through 10th grades and at Boise State University. A metal sculpture from Boise artist Ken McCall, inspired by the text of the United Nations Universal Declaration for Human Rights, would also be installed.

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- Tuesday was Bill of Rights Day, December 15, celebrating the ratification of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. It’s a day I commemorate every year, either with a column or a post on my
The War on Guns blog, sometimes with unexpected results.
Case in point: Two years ago I invited readers to “Have a Contemplative Bill of Rights Day,” to reflect on what the document and the rights it articulates mean. I posted a link to it on my Facebook page only to receive notice that it was blocked from others being able to see because it “goes against our community standards”!
