Yesterday, South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard pledged to veto a discriminatory bill that would restrict transgender students from accessing locker rooms and facilities that match their gender identity.
The bill, SB 115, was introduced this week in the state legislature. Governor Daugaard vetoed a similar bill last spring, when he observed that the legislation “does not address any pressing issue concerning the school districts of South Dakota.”
