The speaker of the Wyoming House of Representatives is under fire from members of his own party who are accusing him of favoring the interests of teachers unions by blocking votes on parental rights and school choice legislation.

The Wyoming teachers union is opposed to the legislation banning sexual orientation teaching in the classroom.

State Rep. Jeannette Ward said Sommers's actions, as well as those of her colleagues supportive of the speaker, were failing to put the interests of the people of Wyoming first. Sommers's continued block on the school choice bill also roiled education freedom activists, who ripped the Republican state lawmaker for refusing to even afford the legislation a vote on the school choice bill shortly after the Friday motion failed.
