- Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would have banned critical race theory instruction in public schools.
- The legislation would have fined schools up to $5,000 per violation if they were found teaching the controversial concept.
- “It is time to stop utilizing students and teachers in culture wars based on fearmongering and unfounded accusations. Bills like SB1305 only serve to divide and antagonize,” Hobbs said in her veto letter to Senate President Warren Petersen.
