PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A Republican-controlled South Dakota Senate committee has dismissed Gov. Kristi Noem’s proposal to ban public K-12 school curricula that compels people to feel “discomfort” based on their race. The Senate Education committee voted 4-3 to reject the proposal. The move, made by three Republicans and a Democrat, was a major blow to Noem’s proposal. She had touted as a repudiation of critical race theory. It could still be resurrected with widespread support in the full Senate.
