Two New York City officials recently called on Mayor Eric Adams to require full Covid vaccination next school year as part of the standard vaccination requirements for public schools. Democrats such as Virginia’s Terry McAuliffe don’t think parents should have a say in what schools teach their children, and many also want those same schools to override parents’ role as their children’s first and most important caregivers. Yet mandatory Covid-vaccination policies for schoolchildren worry 53 percent of parents, and 76 percent of parents are concerned about long-term effects of the Covid vaccine in children.
California, Louisiana, and Washington, D.C., have issued mandates for schoolchildren once the vaccines are fully approved by the FDA. Elsewhere, 17 states have banned Covid-vaccine mandates for students. Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) recently proposed an amendment to cut off federal funding for schools that enforce Covid-vaccine mandates.
