Kari Lake, Arizona’s Republican candidate for governor, falsely accused her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs of voting against teaching the Pledge of Allegiance and U.S. Constitution in Arizona classrooms. There’s no truth to that.
voted on a bill that would prevent students from learning the Pledge of Allegiance, Constitution, Mayflower Compact and Declaration of Independence. These allegations were in a three-minute-long video that Lake posted to her Twitter account on"She wants to purge the pledge, anthem and Constitution from our schools," Lake said. Did Hobbs vote against teaching students about these historical documents? The legislative record shows that she did not..
The existing language allowed teachers and school administrators to display or read the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Pledge of Allegiance, along with other documents. SB1289 added language to the bill that would allow school staff to display historical documents that refer to God, specifically"In God we trust'' and"Ditat Dues," the state motto, which is Latin for"God enriches."
Hobbs' vote against this amendment did not keep students from learning about any of the previously listed documents.
