RAPID CITY, S.D. – The Rapid City Common Council on Monday night discussed a resolution that opposes the controversial Social Studies Standards being proposed by the Noem administration.
The council was divided on the issue, with those in favor of the resolution to oppose saying the standards were too divisive and didn’t get any input from South Dakota teachers.
Those against the resolution say this isn’t an issue for the city to be taking up.
Mayor Steve Allender broke a 5-5 vote to pass the resolution and said the city needed to take a stand with educators who would be affected by the change.
