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 such as Noem have criticized the race-based curriculum for sowing division and hate, and teaching anti-American values to students.
In a Twitter post earlier this week, Noem said she’s signed on to a promise called “The 1776 Pledge to Save Our Schools.”
