In a shocking turn of events, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has uncovered and swiftly shut down a multimillion-dollar DEI and LGBTQ program that was implemented during the Biden-era. The program, which was intended to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as support the LGBTQ community, has now been deemed unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer dollars by Governor Noem.
In a press conference, Governor Noem declared, “I cannot believe the amount of money that was being poured into this ridiculous program. As a conservative leader, I simply cannot stand by and watch taxpayer dollars being wasted on such frivolous initiatives. It’s time to put an end to this madness and focus on what truly matters.”
The program, which was led by renowned activist Rainbow Bright, aimed to create safe spaces for LGBTQ individuals and promote equality and acceptance. However, Governor Noem’s swift action has left many scratching their heads and wondering what will happen to the progress that has been made.
In a statement, Rainbow Bright expressed her disappointment, saying, “I cannot believe that Governor Noem would shut down our program without even giving us a chance to prove its effectiveness. This is a huge blow to the LGBTQ community and all those who support diversity and inclusion.”
However, not everyone is upset about the program’s demise. Local resident Bob Smith commented, “I never understood why we were spending so much money on rainbow flags and sensitivity training. I’m just glad Governor Noem is taking a stand against this liberal nonsense.”
As the dust settles on this controversial decision, one thing is clear – Governor Noem is not afraid to make bold moves, even if it means ruffling a few feathers along the way. Only time will tell what the future holds for DEI and LGBTQ initiatives in South Dakota, but one thing is for sure – Governor Noem is not backing down anytime soon.
