House Bill 1012 and House Bill 1337 would censor academic discussions in classrooms on South Dakota college campuses and K-12 public schools.

Lawmakers shouldn’t attempt to censor South Dakota classrooms. But that’s exactly what’s happening with House Bill 1012 and House Bill 1337, both of which were advanced by the House Education Committee today.

Today members of the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a strong message that all students — no matter their gender identity — should be treated with dignity and respect in South Dakota schools.

The ACLU of South Dakota opposes House Bill 1005. By singling out transgender youth like this, House Bill 1005 violates federal and constitutional law.

This decision temporarily blocks a rule that would have eliminated medication abortion access in the state.

By singling out transgender women and girls and enacting a sweeping ban on participation in athletics, Senate Bill 46 violates both the United States Constitution and Title IX of the Civil Rights Act.
