March 21, 2022 South Dakota Governor Signs Bill Banning CRT-Based Trainings at Universities. This is huge because it encapsulates the entire leaning perspective not only K-12 but adults in Colleges and Universities and its important because we know developmentally students aged 4-24 years old, in the upper tier ages 18-24, that they are just as vulnerable and while Democratic and LGBT policies continue to advance the LGBT policies and agenda there is no protection for straight heterosexual students or their families.
The bill, HB 1012, is meant to “protect students and employees at institutions of higher education from divisive concepts,” according to the legislation.
The bill describes “divisive concepts” in a list within its text. Examples include: calling meritocracy or a strong work ethic racist or sexist; declaring individuals are inherently racist based on their race, religion, sex, ethnicity or national origin; and asserting that by virtue of one’s race, religion, sex, ethnicity or national origin, individuals are responsible for the actions committed in the past by others with those same immutable characteristics.
The list of “divisive concepts” also includes any topic that makes students or faculty “feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of the individual’s race, color, religion, ethnicity or national origin,” according to the bill.
