On Thursday, House lawmakers narrowly approved a plan to give $10 million to private schools in North Dakota.
Nick Archuleta, president of North Dakota United, writes, "HB 1532 is not a parent choice bill at all. Parents already have the choice to send their children to private and parochial schools."
There is a bill in the Legislature that would cause even more school consolidation and more North Dakota history and identity to fade away.
When I pay my taxes to run the public school system, I know all children are welcome and children, teachers and staff are protected from discrimination.
The school board says these state bills are harmful to people of color and LGBTQ+ students and families.
