2022 Governor's State of the State speeches: on Civil Rights


Kristi Noem: In South Dakota, only girls can play in girls' sports

Boys' and girls' bodies are biologically different. In South Dakota, only girls can play in girls' sports according to the executive orders I signed almost a year ago. But I am introducing -- and hope you will support -- a bill that will be the strongest law in the nation. Congress passed Title IX years ago to guarantee that girls have a level playing field on which they can succeed--to ensure their liberty to achieve.

[OTI note: the intent is to bar transgender girls from participating.]

Kathy Hochul: National movements for equality were all started in New York

New York has always meant the promise of a better life, for those immigrating through Ellis Island, fleeing slavery in the South, or resettling here as refugees from Afghanistan. Our state is nationally recognized as the birthplace of movements for equality and progress, the labor movement, the women's rights movement, the LGBTQ+ movement, the environmental movement, the racial justice movement, they all were started HERE by enlightened New Yorkers.
