Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| FALSE | Claim by Kari Lake (R): Said Katie Hobbs “fought to” “prevent students from learning (about) the Pledge of Allegiance, Constitution, Mayflower Compact and Declaration of Independence.” Politifact rating: False (As a state senator, Hobbs voted against a bill that allowed teachers to post the state motto Ditat Deus (God enriches) and “In God we trust” in their classrooms.
