Supreme Court revives Amish challenge to New York student vaccination requirement

The U.S. Supreme Court has revived a lawsuit filed by a group of Amish parents against a New York state law that removes a religious exemption to school immunizations.

In an orders list released Monday, the Supreme Court vacated a lower court ruling against the parents and other plaintiffs in the case of Joseph Miller et al. v. James McDonald et al.

The case was sent back to the lower court for consideration in light of Mahmoud v. Taylor, a Supreme Court decision from June in which the high court ruled 6-3 that parents can opt their children out of a Maryland school district's LGBT-themed curriculum due to religious objections.

Amish spokesman: You all laughed about us and picked on us on FR.
A substitute for real culprits. The butt of every crime thread joke. A figure of fun.
Now we’ll see who’s laughing.

Do they pay you in sour cream donuts?

Because if they need another spokesperson I am available.

I was just quoting.

There used to be a cooking show where the woman host said the Amish farmers could eat 8,000 plus calories a day and stay muscular and slender. Their life without cars and power tools and machinery gave them lots of exercise.

Opposite of life today: put down the phone long enough to grab the remote to watch the movie or the game with bowls of snacks and beverages within easy reach. For hours. Lift your feet up for the Roomba or Roborock.
