The chief sponsor of the bill, Representative Phyllis Heineman (R-Sioux Falls), says the legislation is a matter of accountability. She told the RAPID CITY JOURNAL "We are looking at a 2007 higher education budget of over half a billion dollars. It is just good governance that we ask questions and seek answers in a lot of areas." She pointed out that in the Legislature both sides of an issue are treated with respect. Each side gets equal time, Heineman said. "We should expect nothing less from our universities."
The usual suspects - such as the ACLU, the South Dakota Education Association and the State Board of Regents all vehemently oppose the bill.
Readers should note that last session of the Legislature South Dakota came within a whisker of outlawing all abortions despite the fact that Roe v Wade is supposed to be settled law.
Often states are laboratories where experiments can take places which will serve as models for other states. Soon there is a national movement.

~A college education is expensive.These people are tired of paying for their kids to listen to things the kids don't want to hear, or they believe to be Un-American, i.e. Anti-Christian and evil. (Respect their authoritay.)
Looks like the conservatives have begun their reform of state universities. Should we expect results similar to what Republican controlled state legislatures have accomplished in public high schools and grade schools throughout America?
