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.
