SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) –The South Dakota Board of Regents today has approved of new policies restricting the teaching of Critical Race Theory at state universities.
In May, Governor Noem requested that the Board of Regents to examine whether or not state funds were being used to support either Critical Race Theory or campus diversity offices, which she believes are becoming less about serving students and more about advancing leftist agendas.
She also signed an executive order in July prohibiting public schools from applying for federal grants tied to Critical Race Theory.
The governor says she’s grateful that the Board of Regents took the steps to align with her requests.
