The South Dakota Department of Education has released a set of proposed social studies standards Monday morning assembled by a workgroup tasked with retooling the existing standards.
News of the new set of the proposed standards comes almost one year after Noem announced she’d relaunch the social studies standards revision process, following the revelation the state had removed more than a dozen references to the Oceti Sakowin from a workgroup’s draft of social studies standards.
The changes prompted outrage from nearly 600 people who submitted public comment against the proposed changes, and sparked an Oceti Sakowin March for Our Children on the state Capitol in September.
