Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares issued a legal opinion this week addressing the issue of vaccine mandates at state institutions of higher education.
The issue at hand was whether or not in-state colleges and universities could require the vaccine “as a general condition of enrollment or in-person attendance.”
"A prior Opinion of this office…concluded that the ‘broad specific and implied discretion’ granted to institutions of higher education in § 23.1-1301 and other statutes contained in Chapter 13 of Title 23.1 permitted public institutions of higher education to condition in-person attendance on receipt of an approved COVID-19 vaccine. That opinion, however, failed to consider § 23.1-800,” a statement from the attorney general’s office said.
"As recognized in the prior opinion, ‘[t]here is no question that the General Assembly could enact a statute requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for in-person school attendance.’ As of this writing, it has not done so. Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the General Assembly has amended other statues to address pandemic-related issues,” the statement continued.
While public institutions of higher education assisted health departments in administering the vaccine, “the legislation did not grant such institutions power to impose vaccine requirements.”
Miyares concluded that without the authority to mandate the Covid-19 vaccine from the General Assembly, Virginia colleges and universities cannot make the jab a condition of enrollment or in-person attendance.
I have been very impressed with him so far.
Yep! ...and I believe the exact same principle is true for “school boards”. The “emergency powers” laws apply to the Governors only yet we’ve been led to believe that school boards have some sort of authority here. They don’t...so stop complying with masks and eating outside. Sue them if they retaliate against the kids.
Needs to put a few asses in jail to get their attention..I suspect these lib universities are gonna ignore this and mandate covid shots anyway

More than likely, an not unexpected, the universities will ignore the notices.
😷💉🐂💩💀
The GA needs to pass a ban on mandates.
Branch Covidians here are all butt-hurt
Select and isolate one intransigent school board and hammer it mercilessly as an example to the others.
What a difference a good Governor makes.
Tawny Buettner, RN observed a >10X increase in the rate of myocarditis after the vaccines rolled out.
She worked in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit (CTICU) of a major children’s hospital in San Diego, California for more than 12 years.
Here’s her story about what happened after the vax rollout.
Kick their doors in at a 4 a.m. raid...drag em out by their hair...make a spectacle and example out of them. That's their game...we can play too.
Some schools in Virginia, UVA,VT don’t know about others. Are making people have a vaccination card to attend basketball games. That should be stopped.
This is a scam by the "higher learning" crowd that apparently can't - or won't - follow the science or the law.
There will be a lot of soon-to-be-rich lawyers eating up all those nice endowments and picking the bones clean from these academic cesspools.
"Wokeness" has its price.
Exactly, this garbage would soon stop.
It’s a great TEACHING MOMENT for kids...this is an example of people complying out of fear and not wanting to cause harm, resulting in them giving power to people without them actually having authority...then they reward you with assuming that power and abusing it. Time to let them know who’s boss.
BTTT
Memo to ALL red state governors: If you don’t have a DA like this one… FIND ONE.
Thank God for the voters of VA.
Here's hoping that in the next election, the voters in PA will follow suit.
DugwayDuke is butthurt.

Follow the endowment money. Do they have any endowment from anyone connected directly or indirectly to big pharma?
I am ecstatic that so many of you posters feel about Jason the way I do.
He is a marvelous, exceptional young man.
May God bless him and keep him safe.
He has a bright future.
The codexof federal registry has very interesting and specific reasons it can be used. All of them are about bioweapon attack or emminent attack on us or citizens abroad. Just the fact they are using an eua makes it evident we were and still are under attack.
