Mindi Wirth, who heads a group called Parents for Safe Schools that is seeking to overturn a sex education requirement for public schools, poses for a photo Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020, in Lynnwood, Wash. Democrats in the famously liberal state say they want to protect young people from sexual abuse, diseases and infections. But the increasingly outnumbered and aggrieved Republicans have taken issue with the content of the standards as they rally for local control. The resulting referendum on the November ballot marks the first time in the country that such a decision on sex ed will be decided by voters. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

FILE - In this July 23, 2020, file photo, Arizona Department of Education Superintendent Kathy Hoffman speaks during a news conference in Phoenix. On Friday, Aug. 28, 2020, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online that Hoffman “hates the Bible so much” that she swore her oath on a Dr. Seuss book and that she is pushing child sex education that would teach kindergartners about masturbation and sex positions, and wants to “put makeup on boys.” While Hoffman was sworn in using a children’s book, it wasn’t one by Dr. Seuss, and there’s no indication that she chose it to avoid the Bible. And the sex education claims are “categorically false,” according to Richie Taylor, communications director for the superintendent. (AP Photo/Matt York, Pool, File)
