Republican Governor of Arizona Doug Ducey vetoed a bill requiring strict sex education practices and instead issued his own executive order regarding the topic on Tuesday.

Governor Ducey did not sign SB 1456, a sex education bill that sought to give parents more control over sex education in the classroom. Among other actions, the bill would create procedures that would allow parents to be told in advance of, and allowed to opt their children in to, learning situations regarding sexuality, gender identity, or gender expression.
