At a town hall in Mobridge, South Dakota, Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) addressed a range of topics including CRT, the budget, and more. Watch her complete speech from the townhall

'I Hate Critical Race Theory': Kristi Noem Blasts CRT Being Taught To Children. Gov Noem in her speech said:

I brought two bills this legislative session that banned critical race theory from being taught in our classrooms. In our k-12 schools and another one that banned it in our universities, the legislature supported and passed. And I signed into law the university one. So, now in South Dakota going forward, critical race theory cannot be taught in our universities they killed the k-12 one. 

So, tomorrow I will be signing an executive order to make sure that critical race theory is not taught to our kids in our public school systems too. I got into a discussion with the tribal council members and the President of the pine ridge tribe because they came to the residence and we were talking about a lot of things because they're the tribe that banned me for a period of time, and I never really understood Why I think it was over the pipeline? But they came and we talked for a couple of hours and visited a while ago, but they said well, we also have a problem that you like this critical race theory.

I think our kids need to be taught a true history and that should not be in our classrooms and they said well that's what we think too. I said well there you go you know that's the problem with when people don't talk to each other and we don't have conversations then and people don't realize you probably agree on 80 to 90 of the stuff and knowing what critical race theory is and that it has its background in Marx's teaching should tell us that we don't want it in our public schools. Said Kristi Noem in his Mobridge Speech.
