Clueless about racism
On Tuesday, 5/18, I read the letters to the editor and COULD NOT believe what No Systemic Racism thinks he knows about RACISM or systemic racism. Would he be where he is today if he were Black or Native American, or an immigrant and experienced racism? Does he know what it feels like? He cited prominent known Black celebrities and he wondered why there is systemic racism when they succeeded. Believe me, they ALL experienced racism. And STILL do. Our first Black president and first lady still do.
I am a proud Lakota Sioux Native American who has EXPERIENCED RACISM, and my fellow Natives still do in South Dakota and across our other INDIAN LAND. Unless you have walked in my moccasins, or experienced being brutally brought to another land in shackles, or wrongfully profiled because of the color of your skin, or struggled to cross a river to improve your family’s chances for survival, do not preach about systemic racism because you haven’t a clue.

An increase in state and federal aid in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic enabled school districts to keep the tax rate fairly stable, despite a proposed increase in spending in many instances.
Around the state, school districts are averaging a 2.9% spending increase and are seeking to raise the tax levy the total amount of property taxes collected by 1.4%, according to state Department of Education records.
Property owners within the Corning-Painted Post City School District will see a tax levy increase of 1.37% on the $118,111,924 proposed budget, but according to Superintendent Michelle Caulfield, the full value tax rate will decrease from $23.39 to $23.25 per $1,000 assessed property value.
