WASHINGTON (November 1, 2023)—California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and its state legislature created a “state law that eliminated religious exemptions for school-mandated vaccines” in attempt to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required vaccinations for school children. The law is receiving backlash from conversative parents who have created a federal lawsuit and are backed by Advocated for Faith and Freedom.
If you would like more context on the matter, please consider Robert Tuttle, David R. and Sherry Kirchner Berz Research Professor of Law and Religion.
