I will sign this petition after you sign a petition against the repeal of the religious exemption which doesn't allow my yeshiva to accept my boys (who got the MMR back in October) for next year. Enforced by the same DOE.

Because that's all they got.

Apparently Hep B (an STD) is a major concern in my boys' yeshiva and so is diptheria [/sarcasm], so they're not allowed to come back until they get those vaccines.

Ah, so you didn't quite write the full story.

Hep B is not exclusively an STD.

Don't think we want a diphtheria breakout either.

As far as I know diptheria is not a vaccine. If they don't have that one that means they're not vaccinated against whooping cough or tetanus - both extremely important ones to have

In any case not sure what one thing has to do with the other. Your kids wouldn't be allowed in public school either, this has nothing to do with the Jewish schools, and makes no sense to take it out on them

You're pretty close-minded if you don't see the central theme of state control of children here. I will defend your right as a parent to choose when you defend mine.

I'm actually not happy with state mandated vaccines, I do think it takes away from parents right. However I think it was what had to be done to combat the issue at the time - and ba"h it seems to be working.
But two wrongs don't make a right. Your argument makes no sense in context. It's not like by not signing this petition the vaccine mandarins will then change too
Your happy to see yeshivos be closed down? So because your kids can't go to school noone should be allowed to go to school? Can't Believe It

Why is it that the Regents exams are too tough and the standard must be lowered to allow public school students to pass, but the Jewish schools, of which most students graduate with Regents grades above the state average, must raise their standards?

I'm happy you agree that state mandated vaccines are not ok, but most people don't care and won't fight it until it doesn't hit them in the face (lest they are ch"v associated with anti-vaxxers). State mandated education is hitting more people in the face, and it's the same underlying issue. Government overreach. Fight it consistently or don't fight it at all.

(To combat the issue at the time, mandating MMR would have been sufficient.)

I have 0 children in the yeshiva system this year, thanks to the rescindance of the Religious Exemption for vaccines. Although I am in an awful situation, I would still like to help other parents not go through the terrible situation threatened by the DOE. I tried to sign the petition, but it would not allow my signature to go through because I unfortanately had to put the number 0 into the space asking how many children I have in the yeshiva system. This is clearly only for yeshiva parents, so I'm sad to be counted out.

Thanks. I will try this. I still wish people here would be more sympathetic to my plight, as I am to theirs. I'm feeling pretty awful that its motzei Tishav B'Av, and some posters here are responding as they are.
