Back in 2017 Elkton Public School was experimenting with new teaching methods.
In 2018 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or PETA urged Brookings County Sheriff Martin Stanwick to file criminal charges against Elkton Locker and Grocery, Inc. after a worker abused a lamb.
In 2023 two men were killed when their Kia Sorrento struck and derailed a freight train in Elkton. Earlier this year the Elkton School Board accepted the resignation of a teacher who invited a registered sex offender to speak where this blogger attended and graduated high school.
On Tuesday Sheriff Stanwick spoke to the Brookings County Commission after four students threatened harm to Elkton Public School.
“I have two officers over there today (Tuesday) visiting a school assembly to talk about how serious it is to say that they’re going to shoot up the school or — we take it serious,” Stanwick said. “I have zero tolerance for anything that’s said. We charge it with a terroristic threat and the paperwork goes to the state’s attorney’s office for follow through.” [Multiple Elkton school threats occupy sheriff's attention]The late South Dakota Democratic Governor Dick Kneip grew up in Elkton and my sister is a former Elkton-Lake Benton High School Spanish teacher who has been tutoring students in math with English as a second language.
Yep, after DonOld Trump and Republican South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem have made violence against brown and LBGTQ people acceptable the racist chickens have come home to roost even in rural communities.
