Can states force children to take vaccines, even if the practice violates the religious convictions of the parents? Multiple states currently ignore the First Amendment rights of parents, and don’t allow religious exemptions to opt their children out of school vaccine mandates. In a surprise ruling that happened very quickly this week, the US Supreme Court struck a major blow for religious freedom. Legal scholars believe the sudden ruling is a signal that the court plans to restore religious freedom against forced vaccination in all 50 states.
During the COVID pandemic, the state of New York decided to abolish religious exemptions for the mRNA jabs. The New York State Department of Health and New York State Education Department announced that parents could not opt their children out of the COVID jabs for religious reasons. The rule even applied to Amish children in New York, who don’t attend public schools.
Both school leaders who opposed Gov. Kathy Hochul’s mandates and the Amish sued the state agencies. The case was Miller v. McDonald. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the case in June of this year.
On Monday, the Supreme Court not only agreed to take up the case but issued an immediate summary disposition. The order stated:
“The case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for further consideration in light of Mahmoud v. Taylor.”
It may not seem like much, but this is a HUGE step in the direction of religious freedom in the United States.
Mahmoud v. Taylor was a Supreme Court decision in June that didn’t receive many headlines. The court ruled that religious parents have an absolute First Amendment right to opt their children out of school trainings on trannies, fisting, and other Democrat obsessions. The ruling applied in all 50 states.
With the Supreme Court ordering the 2nd Circuit to re-try the Miller v. McDonald case (the Amish parents case), the court is signaling that the Mahmoud v. Taylor standard applies to vaccines.
Long story short: The Supreme Court has already ruled that parents have broad authority to opt out of public school BS that violates their religious beliefs, and the 2nd Circuit now has to apply that standard to the New York vaccine case.
The high court is basically saying it’s a no-brainer that parents have religious rights that trump whatever the public schools want to do. The thing that has religious freedom legal scholars excited is that the Mahmoud v. Taylor standard is a nationwide legal standard now. When the 2nd Circuit rules in favor of religious vaccine exemptions for the Amish (as the Supreme Court has ordered), the ruling will apply in all 50 states.
Six states have stripped away the religious rights of parents to opt out of vaccines for public school attendance. California abolished religious exemptions in 2015 after an outbreak of the measles. The sanctuary state brought measles-infested illegal alien kids in and dumped them in the public schools, but then blamed “unvaccinated Christian students” for the outbreak.
For those keeping track at home, ALL disease outbreaks in the United States are caused by immigrants. Remember COVID? A Chinese immigrant traveled home to visit his family in December 2019. He flew back to Seattle in January 2020 and gave everyone in America COVID.
Every. Single. Time.
Maine eliminated religious and philosophical objections to vaccines in 2019. Connecticut repealed religious exemptions against the COVID jabs in 2021.
And the red states of Mississippi and West Virginia have both stripped away parental rights when it comes to the religious freedom to opt out of vaccines. When the court upholds parental rights in New York in the Miller v. McDonald case, it will restore religious freedom to parents in all the other states.
This is a big step in the right direction for America. We saw a bigger erosion of our religious freedoms during COVID than many people realize. Joe Biden denied religious exemptions to nearly all soldiers who didn’t want to take the COVID jabs. Many states tried to crush parents who were hesitant about having their kids jabbed with experimental medicine.
For the first time in decades, we have a Supreme Court that actually defends the First Amendment rights of Americans. Feels kind of strange, doesn’t it?
