Third of twelve kids Isaiah Crevier grew up near Elkton 'homeschooled' by his christianic parents then became a chiropractor with a practice in Brookings. Today, he wants a seat on the Brookings Council. His cousin, Dan Nelson, is the Brookings County State's Attorney. Both sit in the extreme white wing of the South Dakota Republican Party.
Allen Unruh is an Elkton boy: his family was run out of town after his father, also a "chiropractic physician," was caught molesting children during exams at a time in South Dakota history when quacks enjoyed intimate physical contact with boys to determine who would participate in school sports. You see this all the time with Talibangelicals: someone threatens to out one as a serial molester, he runs an op-ed in the paper then diverts some cash he raises from sermonizing wedge issues to shut up the people he's raped or groped.
Think of it as the Bill Cosby Effect: the more sanctimonious the speech the more cash gets raised to hide career criminal behavior. It does make one wonder if all the chiropractors in South Dakota are intellectually incompetent or just thugs. Fred Deutsch and Jeff Monroe want to end women's civil rights, Scott Munsterman groped at least one teen and Allen Unruh wants to rewrite history by leaving Native genocide and human-caused climate change out of school curricula. These are "pro-life" people who rabidly embrace state-sponsored killing of persons convicted of capital crimes.
Comment below is from a lifelong friend from Elkton whose sibling is married to a Crevier after I asked if she knew the subject of this post. Note he isn't wearing a face covering in the above image lifted from the Brookings County Youth Mentoring Program.
I'm finding it futile and maddening. Actually was out Sioux Falls last weekend for some family trust stuff. On my way home, did a quick visit with my Aunt in Pipestone and then up to Elkton for a cemetery visit. Had a nice virtual (!!!!!) chat with Dad & Mom & Harriet & Larry [her folks are buried near mine at St. Mary's Cemetery outside Elkton]. Knowing how much better off they have it with their heavenly perspective. Thank God, cuz Dad turned into a HUGE brainwashed FOX believer at the end. And then for nostalgia, stopped at the Knotty Pine for a bite. BUT seriously had to come home and take a shower. Just cringy to be around that many hateful & heads in the sand or buried so far up their ??? can't see sunlight.... Republicans. 🤮 Oh and when I drove thru Elkton, lots of cars around church [Our Lady of Good Counsel in Elkton], so put my mask on and went in. It was PACKED with 5:00 pm Palm Sunday service. NO ONE HAS MASKS. 😤😖 I turned around and walked out.
In South Dakota local control is Republican control. Learn more about the crusade to christianize Brookings County linked here.
