Governor Noem Signs Pledge to Restore ‘Patriotic Education’ in Schools
South Dakota | May 6, 2021
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said she signed a pledge this week that aims to restore “patriotic education” as liberals push critical race theory in the school curriculum. Republicans like Noem have criticized the race curriculum for sowing division and hate, and teaching anti-American values to students.
In a Twitter post earlier this week, Noem said she is the first candidate in the country to sign a promise called “The 1776 Pledge to Save Our Schools.”
“Teaching our children & grandchildren to hate their own country & pitting them against one another on the basis of race or sex is shameful & must be stopped. I’m proud to be the 1st candidate in America to sign ‘The 1776 Pledge to Save Our Schools,” wrote Noem.
