San Diego Student Vaccine Mandate Temporarily Blocked by Ninth Circuit

 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency injunction pending appeal against the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) on Monday after a student-athlete sued the district for religious discrimination because of its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

In September, the school board of the SDUSD voted in favor of requiring students aged 16 and up to be fully vaccinated against COVID by Dec. 20, which would require them to get their first dose by Monday. Anyone who failed to comply would be forced to attend school remotely.

In October, counsel with the Thomas More Society filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family of a 16-year-old Scripps Ranch High School student, referred to as "Jane Doe" in the court documents. The suit argued that religious exemptions should be allowed if the school district also allows medical exemptions for pregnant students.

Seattle Public Schools Enrollmet is in a Free Fall

 

So where have all the students gone? Most of the unrolled have opted for online or private schools (smart parents) while others chose to home school. With the current toxic environment in Seattle Public Schools these type of moves by parents are understandable.  At some point if the current enrollment crisis is not reversed the district will be forced to start closing buildings as it has in the past. 

Seattle experienced a similar exodus from its public schools during the 70s which was attributed to forced busing.   

 

If it Wasnt so Sad it Would be Funny

Some may consider enrolling in your child in Seattle Public Schools a form of child abuse.
