Parents sue California over religious exemptions for school-mandated vaccines, cite Newsom's past on COVID jab
Fox News
California parents filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging a law limiting religious exemptions for school vaccines.
SB 277, which was signed by former Gov. Jerry Brown in June 2015 and took effect on Jan. 1, 2016, eliminated nonmedical exemptions from state-mandated immunizations for children entering public or private schools. It applies to children enrolled in private or public elementary or secondary schools, day care centers, and public or private day cares and preschools.

In 2022, the lawsuit says, the state legislature and Newsom "made attempts to add COVID-19 to the list of required vaccines for school entrance even though the virus poses a small risk to schoolchildren."
