South Dakota needs to keep the next generation stupid, so they will vote for conservatives.

State lawmakers tell Department of Education to not pursue federal grants for history, civics classes (Rapid City Journal)

A legislative committee has notified the state’s Department of Education to not pursue any federal grants for history and civics curriculum until the entire Legislature has an opportunity to pursue legislation to address Critical Race Theory.

Can’t have students learning about the history of racism in the USA either.

The Joint Appropriations Committee voted 16-1 on Tuesday to send a Letter of Intent to Secretary of Education Tiffany Sanderson with policy guidance on civics education, a focus of Gov. Kristi Noem and the Legislature during the 2021 session.

Noem was the first governor to sign the 1776 Pledge to Save Our Schools, which seeks to prohibit teaching students to “hate their own country and pitting them against one another on the basis of race or sex.”

Propaganda works. Learning about the nation’s history of racism is not “hating your country.”
