Very strange story. He is going to a religious school, so one would assume his religious beliefs would somewhat align with the school’s. But ‘deeply held religious beliefs’ put him in defiance of the school?

Chicken pox is good to get in childhood as it provides immunity for stuff later in life, as I understand it.

And to raise so much hell over such an innocuous disease is over the top.

I think if you HAD chicken pox as a child, you are more apt to get shingles later in life. Is that correct?

Having CP does not protect you from anything but CP and makes it probable that you will suffer from shingles (the same virus gone dormant in your system) later in life.

If you get chicken pox while young the virus stays dormant until reactivated as shingles as an adult.

Very painful for some.

May I suggest you understand it a little better? Ever heard of shingles? That's just the first big bad risk a survivor of chicken pox runs. Nope, it's not fatal, but ask any person who has had it (mostly in the above 60 crowd), it will make you wish you were dead.

YOu should read up on this.

Had it at about age 5. I can still picture my mother slopping the Calamine lotion on my brother and I.

The one thing it does not give you any immunity to, if anything, is shingles. Shingles is the chickenpox virus revived in adulthood and having had chickenpox does not protect you. You have to be vaccinated for shingles just like chickenpox.
