  • January 3, 2019 Senator Kris Langer Sent Via Email to Tjlanger
    Kevin V. Schieffer [email protected] mobile: 605.321.6410 January 3, 2019 Senator Kris Langer Sent via email to [email protected] Representative Lee Qualm Sent via email to [email protected] Representative Sue Peterson Sent via email to [email protected] Senator Jim Stalzer Sent via email to [email protected] RE: Freedom of Expression & Intellectual Diversity Dear Senators and Representatives: Thank you for sending me a copy of the December correspondence on the above issues and those sent in July and October. This supplement to Dr. Beran’s letter of this date is not for factual redundancy but really just to offer a Board member perspective. It is not intended as a formal Board position, but it is written very much with my colleagues in mind. I think it is safe to say we are all interested in a substantive agenda that will make meaningful, positive and lasting improvements. I appreciate your contribution to and kind words about the free speech initiative we recently completed, and ongoing engagement in the diversity issue. It is of the fundamental stuff I think the Board needs to spend more time wrestling with. These kinds of issues go to the heart of what we are about. Since your latest letter focuses more on intellectual diversity, I will try to address that more specifically. My primary purpose here is to outline how I intend to address this issue, subject to final decisions by my colleagues on the Board. Hopefully that will help you determine your own course of action.

The goal of this scorecard is simple: make government transparent to the people they represent. History has proven that free people are capable of extraordinary things—but many current laws hold South Dakotans back from truly thriving. That’s why our growing community of activists across the state are fighting every day to make the Mount Rushmore State a better place to live, work, and raise a family. We support legislation that enhances liberty and opportunity and oppose legislation that restricts those two concepts. As such, the bills listed in this scorecard reflect that. What you won’t see are grades or scores for individual legislators. What you will see is a description of issues and legislation with how our legislators voted during the two years that they served in this term. We hope this information helps you stay informed about how your Senators and Representatives have voted on important issues. If nothing else, it will serve as a basis for your conversations with them. We trust that policymakers are working to remove barriers that make it more difficult for South Dakotans to achieve their full potential and believe this tool will help shape their thinking toward that.

American Legion Boys State is among the most respected and selective educational programs of government instruction for U.S. high school students. I am confident that you will not be disappointed with your decision to participate in this outstanding citizenship education experience. It will influence your life decisions in ways that you cannot fully appreciate until years later.

American Legion Boys State is a leadership action program; one that teaches government and its structure. It proves that government is just what you make it. You will find it to be challenging and sometimes tiring, and I’m certain you will always find it to be enjoyable and educational. If this government “….of the people, by the people, and for the people” is to remain strong, it requires the involvement of its citizens. The onus of preparing for that responsibility now rests squarely upon your shoulders, and those of future generations. For eighty-three plus years, American Legion Boys State has been prominent in producing young men, just like you, ready to accept that responsibility. I hope that those of you who are eligible for membership in the Sons of The American Legion will take advantage of the opportunity to join while you are at American Legion Boys State, and that when you return home you will also share information about the American Legion Family with your family and friends.
