South Dakota still hates teachers

Source: WalletHub

47th best state for teachers, South Dakota is 50th in budgeting for schools and not only hates public education, the state's dead last in high school financial literacy and 50th in financial education performance and access. Teachers' wages in red states like South Dakota surf the bottom because Republicans are Balkanizing education amid a fight over ideological purity and in my home state academic freedom is under attack from another reactionary governor. Republican former governor, Kristi Noem is directly responsible for the closing of Presentation College where many of South Dakota's teachers and nurses were trained.
