It’s “Pie Day” in the Idaho Capitol, the annual day each year when the Idaho Coalition of Home Educators brings in an array of homemade pies, and home-schooled students show off displays on what they’re learning. The displays today are in the first, second and fourth-floor rotundas; the second floor features a display on the history of home-schooling laws in Idaho, and the pie is on the fourth floor, along with student exhibits.
