Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, has vetoed some two dozen Republican-sponsored bills, including one dubbed the “Parents’ Bill of Rights” that would have given parents more say in their kids’ education.

Evers on April 15 signed 15 bills into law, while vetoing 28 others, including Assembly Bill 963, which would have established a number of parental rights relating to decisions regarding a child’s religion, medical care, and education, while creating a cause of action if these rights were violated.
