California parents, teachers plan statewide walkout to protest school vaccine mandate
Fox News
California parents and teachers who oppose school vaccine mandates are planning a statewide walkout Monday, according to reports.
California became the first state to mandate vaccinations or coronavirus testing for eligible children to attend in-person classes at public and private schools after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the requirement Oct. 1. Students who don’t comply will be required to do an independent study. There are medical and personal belief exemptions.
Teachers and staff are also required to get the vaccine or submit to testing.
The mandate currently affects students in grades 7-12. Those age 12 and older are eligible for the vaccine.
