South Dakota's Noem delays social studies standards amid concerns over left-wing influences
Fox News
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is delaying consideration of new social studies standards as critics have accused her of allowing left-wing influences to taint the state's curriculum.
On Monday, Noem said: "Following public feedback from several constituencies, it is clear there is more work to be done to get this right."
For the past several months, Noem has been waging a public and policy-based war against critical race theory (CRT), pushing to revise multiple aspects of the initial standards. She notably was one of the first Republican governors to sign onto an anti-CRT pledge from 1776 Action – although some have sought more from her office.
