Gov. Kristi Noem is hitting the reset button on South Dakota’s proposed social studies curriculum, discarding her administration’s previous standards and changing up who crafts the new ones.

Friday’s announcement comes a week after she said the revision process would be delayed for up to a year. Noem’s office told Fox News that it had severed ties with consultant Beth Ratway and the C3 framework – both controversial influences that raised concerns about left-wing content later surfacing in schools.

The article goes on to state the following:

“I have asked the Department of Education to restart the process from the beginning,” Noem, a Republican, said in a press release Friday. “I want to ensure we propose standards that accurately reflect the values of South Dakota.”
