The new guidance follows in the wake of a lawsuit by CHD and eight parents of New York schoolchildren challenging mandatory COVID testing and closing of New York City Schools.
After CHD and seven families sued the New York State Department of Health for refusing to let unvaccinated children with valid medical exemptions attend school, the state then also excluded the children from online learning.
The bill – which would also allow public health officials to mandate ‘preventive medication’ – ‘violates the state constitution and the federal constitution, denying citizens due process,’ an attorney told LifeSiteNews.
