While you're at it, teach them how not to crash the car, and demand that seat belts be relegated to the status of optional accessories.

Heh... I think that's a pretty good analogy, really. I mean, if you've taught your daughter to drive safely, you should demand she never wear a seatbelt. A seatbelt might give her a false sense of security that would make her do something unsafe.
This thread has a whole lot of hysterics on it and not a lot of common sense. The shot might be part of the standard regimen for school in the future. It does prevent a cancer that really exists, and is a lot more common than polio and diptheria and the other shots we give our kids to prevent diseases that were once common. If you are that dead-set against it, you can opt out of the shots, like you can all the other shots if you are anti-immunization, and still send the kids to school. And if you really don't want to risk your kids mingling with heathens, you can homeschool, like so many do, and bypass the whole show.
It's really not that complicated.
