In hopes of running for POTUS in '16. He's ticked enough Texans off that he'd risk losing the governorship.
I know that back when parents pushed back on Gardasil in Texas schools that he still sent doses to schools and the nurse sent home notes for parents to sign if they wanted their daughters to get the shots for ***FREE!!!*** Many got it simply because it was FREEEEEE!!! rather than doing any research on it.
So it is NOT mandatory in Texas? I wasn’t sure if Perry was successful with that or not. As I understand it, Canadian schoolchildren can receive Gardasil with no notice or consent of parents.
