YANKTON, S.D.(WNAX)- Educators are pushing back against charges from some politicians that teachers and schools are “indoctrinating” students in everything from negative American history to critical race theory.

Yankton School Superintendent Wayne Kindle says the districts education policy has been consistent over the years.

Kindle says they include American history and civics in most grade levels.

Kindle says their curriculum and text book decisions are open to the public.

The school board makes the final decisions on course work following public input.
