Parents Sue Catholic School for Denying Admission to Their Unvaccinated Son

This is the same argument regarding the HPV vaccine. A vaccine that various agencies are trying to require all teenage girls to have. A vaccine that would prevent cancer caused by a sexually transmitted disease. Should all girls be treated as though they will have have pre-marital sex?

Some excerpts (Italicized):

A New York couple is suing a Catholic high school for refusing to grant a religious exemption that would allow their 14-year-old son to enroll in ninth grade without state-required vaccinations, claiming immunizations are a "violation of God's supreme authority."

Andrea and Paul Polydor, of Garden City, believe human bodies "should not be defiled by vaccines," according to a complaint filed in Nassau County Court against Kellenberg Memorial High School in Uniondale.

They claim their son -- identified in the seven-page lawsuit as "JP" -- should be granted an exemption to public health laws that require children to be inoculated for diseases including mumps, measles, rubella, hepatitis B and others.

But public health laws allow for exceptions for "children whose parent, parents, or guardian hold genuine and sincere religious beliefs which are contrary to the practices herein required, and no certificate shall be required as a prerequisite to such children being admitted or received into school or attending school," according to the complaint.

Claire Pospisil, a spokeswoman for the New York State Department of Health, said state law requires all students -- including those at private schools -- to be immunized. Families can be exempted on religious grounds, but those exemptions are not automatic, she said.

"If a student feels that they should be exempted from being immunized, they can provide the school -- and it can be a private or a public school -- with the information on why they believe they are eligible for a religious exemption," she said. "And then the school would review the information to determine if it's granted."

Do the needs of the many outweigh the rights of the few? If so what are rights then? Can forcing all, for the well-being of the masses, hurt the few?
