Does it give parents more of a say in what vaxxes their children do or do not take; or is that still totally up to GivCo/the school board? What about if a parent wants to remove their child “right now” for a family emergency, impending severe weather, civil unrest, or other good reason? What if their child is moved to another venue because of a school shooting or other incident? Will parents be told where their child is and be able to take their child home immediately; or will they have to wait until some school administrator, police official, or other government functionary says “Simon says…”? If these situations are not covered, then what is the point?

Parents already have the say so in what vax are given- there is confusion that an arbitrary power has been given to doctors and schools. We have never lost that right in SC. You are the parent, you withdraw your child by following the rules you agreed to follow when you enrolled them. You don’t like it, withdraw and go elsewhere. If they are in school and a shooting occurs, then the school is responsible for their safety and when law enforcement gives the safe/clear call, you then get them because they have to be protected while at school, even during a shooting. This bill pushes government back from encroaching on parents rights. We already have the power, just some have been deceived into believing that the schools/doctors have the power. And they have just handed over that power by not parenting. I decide what goes into my child’s body. I decide how i want them to learn and what I want them to learn. And if I don’t agree with it, then i go elsewhere. Nobody can stop me, unless I’m breaking a criminal statute. Parents need to parent. Some choose not to, so let them be sorted out.
