On June 13, 2019 New York State took away the right for school age children to have a religious exemption. This change came with no public hearings & without regard for New Yorkers Constitutional rights. Freedom to practice ones religious belief is at the very foundation of what our country stands for and it is essential we reestablish the right to religious exemption for the youth of NY.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

I have been sending these signatures to the offices of state senators all week to demand they address the repeal of S2994. Please call your local representative today and tell them clearly that religious freedom must be restored in our schools.

Parents are the only ones who should be making medical decisions for their children. Given by God, they are ours to raise as we see fit under our religious and family values, free from government control.

I am adamently against forced vaccines. The Nuremberg Code was crafted to compel the government to never force a person to permit any substance to be injected or consumed against their will. Informed consent is imperitive to a free people.

School should never be taken away from children because their parents don't feel certain vaccines are ethical or morally right. Please repeal this bill.

I refuse to allow my son to be vaccinated for Covid -19. The vaccine's ingredients, and the the forced interference with my and my son's religious belief's violate my Constitutional right to practice my religious beliefs. I believe that S2994 was passed in a very underhanded way, I want S2994 abolished!!!

No one should have to ask the state for an exemption of any kind. Medical decisions including vaccination should be between patient and doctor, or parent, child and doctor. Anything more than that is abusive and an invasion of personal rights.
