When you let your kids go to a government school, you have already relinquished some to the government entities. If you don’t want that oversight, don’t put them in the government’s schools to begin with.

Let me share something though...

When we home schooled in Virginia, we had forms we had to take the initiative to complete and submit to the “government”, letting them know we were opting out of public school education. From all accounts, all us home schoolers there had absolutely no problem trying to figure out how to fill in the proper words saying “I’m opting out of school, thank you.”

In Texas, opting out was even easier. We just opted out with our feet.

How come home schoolers seem to be able to complete and submit an opt out application but you seem to feel public school parents can’t do it?

I just laugh when I hear people say it’s too much work to tell someone you are not going to do something they really believe in not doing.

I never said a word about home schoolers, or public school families. Don't put words in my mouth.

The point, is that the Gardasil vaccine was mandated by the government. It was an intrusion on basic human rights to force this on the people. The fact that you could fill out a form to assert your right to free choice did not make it any less odious.

It was a bad move on Perry's part, as it was a basic violation of essential individual rights.

For the record, my wife and I have home schooled our four children since day one.

I’m sorry to tell you, but he’s not listening. But thank you for your post.

The point is the government had no right to mandate such a vaccine in the first place.
