Nope. The schools hold the cards, and a couple of states have a no exemptions policy (except for medical contraindications), so refusing admission to the unvaccinated has a legal basis.
Actually, we the people hold the cards as "public" school means just that - public. As in funded by the public. Public schools don't dictate to us, regardless if that is how it appears to you.
While some areas have medical only exemption laws, the vast majority allow for exemptions other than medical. The poll in this thread and the prevailing standard across most of the US doesn't lie. The extremists who believe that the government owns our bodies are in the minority, propaganda to the contrary trying to undo this fact be damned.

Thankfully the exemptions still exist in most states. I don't agree with the states that have taken it to extremes like West Virginia and Mississippi. If you don't live in one of those states then you have to accept the fact that your child may be exposed to someone who is not fully vaccinated, or you can always move or homeschool.

Well, it would appear from the tone of the discussion about vaccinations here at C-D and elsewhere in the media, you are severely outnumbered. Most of the public wants your kid vaccinated if he's going to attend public school, and, as I stated earlier, there is a long-standing legal precedent.

Or I can join the parent organization from my school district that visits the Capitol on a regular basis and lobby for changing the exemption allowances. I think it's the right time for it.

Yes, you could and I will be lobbying against it. See you there.

See you at the Capitol, then. Prepare for a fight. I'm done arguing on C-D. Time to move this to setting where something can actually be done. It's long past the time for Colorado to end this nonsense, and if I have anything to say about it, we will. I hope to see FA there, too.
