(LifeSiteNews) — Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that children who are not injected for COVID-19 will not be given a remote learning option this school year.
After D.C.’s Office of the State Superintendent of Education announced that children must be jabbed for COVID-19 to attend school for the 2022-2023 year, Bowser said during a press briefing, “We’re not offering remote learning for children, and families will need to comply with what is necessary to come to school,” The Daily Signal reported.
“This is cruel,” the House Oversight Committee Republicans’ Twitter account weighed in, noting that students have already “dealt with the irreparable harm of school closures and remote learning.
“Washington DC is either going to wind up with a lot of ‘mysteriously ill’ teens or a homeschooling boom,” remarked Jo Lentz on Twitter.
In a July 19 press release, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education informed parents that in order to attend school, children must receive “the primary COVID-19 vaccine series,” meaning the first two shots of the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA injection, or a single Johnson & Johnson COVID shot, unless they are exempted.
The press release does not provide information on what kind of exemptions will be considered.
The students are specifically directed to at least start receiving the vaccine series by Sept. 16, 2022, and they “must have up-to-date immunization certification on file with the school within the first 20 school days” or they will be barred from school and school activities.
The mandate extends to all D.C. schools, including private, parochial, and independent.
According to an August 25 press release, “all students and staff” must also present “proof of a negative COVID-19 test result before the start of the 2022-2023 school year.”
The mandate is part of the implementation of a COVID-19 vaccination law passed in D.C. last year. The law required all eligible teachers and students to receive the experimental vaccines.
The District of Columbia has implemented some of the harshest COVID jab mandate policies in the U.S., having refused to grant a religious exemption even to physician-surgeon and retired U.S. Army colonel Sister Dierdre Byrne, who thereafter sued and was only then granted an accommodation.
On Friday, a D.C. judge ruled that Bowser’s COVID jab mandate for D.C. government employees is unlawful, after the D.C. Police Union sued.
On July 8, the FDA fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children 12 to 15 years old, despite evidence showing the vaccine is more dangerous to children than the virus.
A study from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine found a “mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition,” leading numerous experts to conclude that the benefits of injecting children against COVID-19 do not outweigh the risks.
An extraordinarily high frequency of myopericarditis (refers to inflammation of the heart muscle itself, and/or its suspending sack) has been reported in youth after injection against COVID-19. For example, a recent study found that about one in three Thai adolescents who received Pfizer’s mRNA shot — 29.24 percent, to be precise — suffered heart pathologies after “vaccination.”
Dr. Peter McCullough, MD, former professor of medicine at Texas A&M University Health Sciences Center, has called for an “unbreakable resistance” against children receiving the jab, citing numerous studies that show the “chance of myocarditis, and hospitalization with myocarditis, for one of these children who is going to be forced into vaccination … is greater than being hospitalized for COVID-19.”
