South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has unveiled a draft legislation which she said would block critical race theory (CRT) as the basis of education in her state’s colleges and schools.
“Our schools should teach our children our nation’s true and honest history,” Noem said in a Dec. 21 statement announcing the legislative effort. “They should teach about our successes in establishing a country that is a beacon of freedom to the world and our mistakes along the way. Our children should not, however, be taught the false and divisive message that they are responsible for the shortcomings of past generations and other members of our respective races.”
