Anybody from NY, child in public school? vaccine exemption question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I just moved to Westchester County, NY, and found out about the

unbelievable situation in NY regarding religious exemption. Parents are

required to explain in an affidavit exactly WHY their religious beliefs

are against the vaccines, are put through inquisition by schools to

prove otherwise and their whole lifestyle can be put under scrutiny

(parents were questioned, for example, about the toppings on their

other children's ice cream...).

If anybody here succeeded in getting through this without hearings and

courts, please let me know how. I'm in the Katonah - boro

disctrict. Please email me privately to tamitamir@.... Thanks a

lot in advance!

Tami,

I live in NY and this is ILLEGAL. They cannot according to our state

public health law question you on your religious beleifs in regards

to your exemption.

You do have to follow the state law which requires you file a

notarized exemption letter. It should include the proper wordings

and refer to the law and it's exemption clause. You provide this

letter to the district. They cannot legally refuse your child or

they can be sued! For violating your rights.

Are you sure this is not a scare tactic by others in your district

to get your to comply with vaccination? Many times school officials

will feed you a load of bull to pressure you into vaccinating.

I will post a link for this site for NYS and exemptions. It tells

you exactly what and how to file. And how to protect yourself and

your rights. If there is still a problem, you need a laywer because

what they are doing is baring your child from their education and

they cannot do that if you are following the law.

You are going to refer to Public Health Law 2164 Sub. 9 in your

letter. this applies to day care, nursery school, private school,

kindergarten, elementary, intermediate, or secondary schools.

Sub. 9 says that 2164 does not apply to children show parent,

parents or guardian hold genuine and sincere religious beleifs which

are contrary to the practices herein required, and no certificate

shall be required as a prerequisite to such children being admitted

or received into school or attending school.

The law also goes on to say that no one can question or request

proof you your beleifs.

Don't be intimidate!

You can also get a medical exemption based upon your child's immune

system being too weak to vaccine or allergies or previous negative

reaction to vaccines. But the religious one is easier to get.
