Sorry to bother you on Good Friday and just before Passover, but Democrat Governor Laura Kelly chose to mark the holy day by vetoing the Parental Bill of Rights and a bill to protect women’s sports.

Kelly called the Parental Bill of Rights “the worst thing we can possibly be doing” when it first passed, and her veto today sends a clear message she’ll always stand with the teachers’ unions funding her campaign over Kansas parents.

“Democrats in Kansas are determined to find out the hard way what Democrats in Virginia learned last year: voters don’t elect candidates who tell parents they don’t matter,” said RGA spokesperson Joanna Rodriguez. “From shutting down schools for the year earlier than any other state to vetoing legislation that would protect a parent’s role in their children’s education, Democrat Laura Kelly has told voters repeatedly she will always choose the teachers’ unions funding her campaign over Kansas students and parents.”
