Senate passes education censorship bill<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last week senators passed House Bill 1012, legislation that will have a chilling effect on academic freedom in South Dakota. The bill now goes to Gov. Kristi Noem for her signature.<\/p>\n

The ACLU of South Dakota opposed House Bill 1012. The following comment can be attributed to Jett Jonelis, ACLU of South Dakota advocacy manager:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur country needs to acknowledge and reckon with its history of systemic racism \u2014 this includes being able to teach and talk about these concepts in our schools.\u00a0In the university setting, House Bill 1012 encroaches on principles of academic freedom that protect a professor\u2019s right to make teaching choices without government interference. That\u2019s because the First Amendment protects academic freedom and the right to share ideas, including the right of individuals to receive information and knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouse Bill 1012 creates more questions than answers and leaves South Dakota educators and administrators with the burden of navigating exactly what it means to comply with this law. It opens the door for a wide range of interpretations that could be used to chill free speech and academic freedom, discouraging open and honest discussions about systemic racism in classrooms and in higher education communities.\u00a0That House Bill 1012 passed shows the very need for the types of discussion our government is trying to prohibit.\u201d<\/p>\n
