Noem said that during a recent visit to a Sioux Falls classroom, a message posted on a bulletin board in a fourth-grade classroom caught her eye.
"It said 'Put your positive pants on.' That message reminded me of a lesson that is often easy to forget: an optimistic outlook can be tremendously helpful when responding to life’s challenges," the Republican governor said in a statement last week. "That’s especially true in the fight against COVID-19."
How about things that actually work, Governor, like a mask mandate?
