On Thursday, Hobbs vetoed a bill that sought to prohibit public schools from teaching critical race theory. The proposed legislation had provisions to impose fines of up to $5,000 on schools found guilty of instructing the contentious concept, The Center Square reported.

“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 noted in a veto letter she sent to GOP Senate President Warren Petersen.

Hobbs’ 2022 Republican opponent, Kari Lake, responded in Twitter: “We warned you she was a radical. Welcome to an Arizona where they teach race-based hatred to your kids.”
