I totally agree with what California has done but was thinking there must be loads of lawsuits as well and so there are. I picked up this on a google search:
"This article details lawsuits filed in response to policies implemented to address the coronavirus pandemic. If you know of a case that we have missed, please email us. You will find:
- Relevant litigation: In this section, there are two embedded spreadsheets. The first is an inventory of lawsuits involving state actions and policies implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The second is an inventory of lawsuits involving election administration issues in light of the pandemic."
California's latest action:
COVID-19: California requiring public and private school teachers, staff to get vaccines or tests
California has become the first state in the nation to require all teachers and school staff to get vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday. The order applies to both public and private schools.
The statewide vaccine mandate for K-12 educators comes as schools return from summer break amid growing concerns of the highly contagious delta variant. Hawaii issued a similar order a week ago that applies to public school employees.
California employs about 320,000 people across more than 1,000 school districts. It has more than 6.1 million students. The order includes bus drivers, aides and custodians and says schools and employees must be in compliance by Oct. 15. The order also covers volunteers who are on-site at a school campus supporting school functions.
Newsom announced the new policy at a San Francisco Bay Area school that has already reopened after summer break. Many California schools are back in session, with others starting in the coming weeks.
