@DrCarolSalva@TanKHuynh @KatieToppel Absolutely! I sent the QR code and asked her to try that. I’ll check in with her tomorrow. It’s always a great conference! Can’t wait!
@ericaboomsma yes, we must continue to speak loudly about the injustice of this process and the poor quality of these approved SS standards for today’s education. Calling the 1950’s- you can have these standards back, now!
@DeanWitte I hate to say it, but we are. I am usually an rational optimist, but this was unbelievable to witness. I feel upset way deep down. This is not good. Democracy had no voice there. Except for Mr. Nebelsick and Mr. Willard. Everyone has to talk loudly about this!!!
Five members of this board ignored the people. They ignored education experts in our state, and made a decision based on the fact that they are political appointees. This is a sad day for education in our state.
“Ultimately, you have two choices: ignore the people and continue on your way or practice one of the most difficult virtues that democracy demands from us - the virtue of restraint.”
5 members of the SDBOE ignored the people today.
Wish I would have given this speech on the SD House floor when HB1080 banning gender affirming care, usurping parental rights, and criminalizing docs who provide said care. Don’t know if it would have changed the vote.
