South Dakota Gov. Daugaard signed SB130, barring school anti-bullying policies from naming any protected classes
On March 16, 2012, South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard signed SB130 (SL 2012, ch 96), requiring school districts to adopt anti-bullying policies while barring those policies — new or already in effect — from naming any protected classes of students. The enacted text compelled districts to strip any existing enumerated-category language, such as protections based on sexual orientation or gender identity, from their bullying policies.
