I wish folks were as upset about the dismantling of the Department of Education as they were about the ban on TikTok.

We are not defined by Dear Colleague letters. The fabric of who we are is not changed by budget cuts and lived identities do not suddenly disappear with banned terms. The work gets harder and that's what they want - but we have to continue to be there for each other. I value you, I appreciate you.

Thank you for knowing that individual lived experiences matter and deserve cultural competency and resources and investment. Thank you for speaking up and taking up space and not losing sight of why we went into this work - for students to feel seen, heard, and loved.

To my people holding it down in higher education - thank you. Thank you for continuing on despite threats to our integrity and values. Thank you for providing space for BIPOC students. Thank you for protecting LGBTQIA+ students.

South Dakota committee wants to require Native American history in public schools A set of OSEU standards are already in place across the state but the standards aren’t required and OSEU classes are an optional elective.

Watching debate on SB 196 - Oceti Sakowin Essential Understandings incorporation in public school curriculum - when the bill was first read, Oceti Sakowin was completely mispronounced. That is the heart of the issue - South Dakota does not know us.
