Senators John Kolb (SD-12) and Stacy Jones (SD-13) discuss an amendment to defund gender studies at the University of Wyoming on the Senate floor Wednesday. Sen. Cheri Steinmetz (SD-3) introduced the amendment as “an old friend of the Senate,” referring to her own attempt two years ago to bring the same. This inspired Sen. Mike Gierau (SD-17) to quip: “This may be an old friend of the Senate, but it’s no friend of mine.” The amendment passed in the Senate with a 18-13 vote.
