NextImg:The Corner: Does South Dakota Need Higher-Education Reform?

George McGovern and Tom Daschle are old history. South Dakota has been “red” for quite a while. Does that mean that the state’s institutions of higher education have avoided the plague of wokeness?

No, says Professor Robert Wright in today’s Martin Center article:

Returning the curriculum to reality can be achieved by putting people who believe in empirically grounded education in charge and empowering them to make the necessary changes. Just hiring a Ben Sasse type is not enough. Reform leaders must have a sufficient budget and the intellectual authority to force change on faculty who labor under the misapprehension that tenure is a license to speak freely in class about matters of which they know naught.

Unfortunately, while Governor Noem evidently understands that “progressivism” has infected the state’s universities, there isn’t much activity to cleanse the infection.
