Controversies
In the 2016 session, Monroe sponsored[15] South Dakota Senate Bill 84[16] that prevents prohibiting public school teachers from presenting "the strengths and weaknesses of scientific information presented...". This bill closely follows the strategy of the Wedge strategy authored by the intelligent design think tank the Discovery Institute.
