“Protecting the health and informed consent rights of children since 1982.”

KWilliams Note: This is an important case to follow. NVIC has received numerous reports from NY residents who have been harassed by the public school system for their religious beliefs concerning vaccination. Last year the Supreme Court of Wyoming stopped this kind of practice when the Health Department required parents to “prove” their religious sincerity. The Court said the Health Dept did not have the statutory authority to do this.

FEDERAL COURT ISSUE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER ON VACCINATION CASE

Yesterday, federal judge Sidney Stein, issued a temporary restraining order against the Clarkstown Central School District on behalf of Dr. Lynn Friedman and her son, Luke. The suit was brought by Liberty Counsel and filed in federal court yesterday morning. Luke, who is in kindergarten, refused vaccinations because of religious reasons. The school evicted him on November 21, 2001. He may now return to school as of today. The court has set December 19 to hear our request for preliminary injunctive relief. The TRO is good by law for ten days. That is why we must go back for the hearing to extend the TRO on December 19. Joel Oster flew to New York Monday morning, filed the case yesterday and presented oral arguments, and is returning to Orlando today following yesterday’s victory.
