Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, vetoed Republican bills on Tuesday that would define biological sex and allow the Ten Commandments in schools.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, vetoed bills on Tuesday that would have codified biological sex definitions and permitted teachers in public schools to read or have a copy of the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. The move drew criticism from the state Senate Republican caucus, who said Hobbs is 'abandoning God' and that laws 'should be based in objective reality and uniform for all Arizonans.
' It would also have maintained single-sex spaces 'to ensure girls’ and women’s protection and privacy in those spaces, while not changing current law or creating new restrictions on anyone’s legal rights,' according to the Republican Caucus. 'As I have said time and again, I will not sign legislation that attacks Arizonans,' Hobbs said in a letter explaining her veto.
