(CALIFORNIA GLOBE) – San Diego Superior Court Judge John Meyer ruled on Monday that the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) COVID-19 vaccination mandate is to be halted due to breaking state law.
The SDUSD board unanimously passed the mandate in late September, following the lead of several other school district mandates before it including Los Angeles and San Francisco. However, the SDUSD mandate was quickly brought to court by parents the next month. Specifically, they challenged the mandate because it did not offer exemptions for religious or personal belief reasons, only offering them for medical reasons.
Parents groups Let Them Choose and Let Them Breath, who backed the suit, have challenged several other state and local mask and vaccination mandates since mandates were first implemented.
In his ruling, Judge Meyer sided with the parent groups, noting that mandates without exemptions can only be ordered by the state legislature. Judge Meyer also said that the COVID-19 vaccine would not be added to the list of needed vaccinations without exemption due to the state also being the only one who could order such a thing.
San Diego’s mandate, which stated that all students must be vaccinated by this week and that any student not vaccinated would only be able to attend school via remote independent study when the second semester begins January 24th, is now stopped.
