A loudly-touted plan by Los Angeles government schools to require children to be vaccinated was been quietly withdrawn after bureaucrats realized as many as 30,000 students would not comply.

“In September, the nation’s second-largest school district imposed strict vaccine requirements on children 12 and older, with almost no exemptions,” POLITICO reports.  “Los Angeles Unified was supposed to show other school districts how to roll out an expansive Covid-19 vaccine mandate for students.”

Under the rule, all students 12 and older would be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 10 in order to attend in-person classes.  Unvaccinated students would have to attend classes online.

“Los Angeles students who are old enough would have needed the first of a two-dose vaccine in late November and a second shot by late December to be fully vaccinated by the start of the second semester,” USA Today reports.

But they ran into a problem.  Mass resistance to the vaccine mandate on children, especially in black and Latino families.

“Only 60 percent of Black Los Angeles County residents 12 and up have gotten at least one dose. The vaccination rate among the county’s Latino residents 12 and up is 68 percent. The mandate requirement would have disproportionately moved students of color off campus,” POLITICO reports.

Realizing they would have to move as many as 30,000 students to online-only learning, and they would be disproportionately black and Latino, Los Angeles Unified backed down, delaying the mandate until 2022.

As many as 40,000 LA students had already either dropped out of schools or disappeared during the pandemic, Elmer Roldan, executive director of Communities in Schools of Los Angeles, a nonprofit aimed at preventing students from dropping out of school, tells USA Today.

  1. Good for you out there in California, fighting the commies. We need more of this every day. Shove it right back in their faces.

    1. um, no one in ca is “fighting the commies”. The leaders realized it would harm black more than whites by demanding vaccines. Huuuh?? Those with a brain have been pointing out that a low number of poc are getting vaccinate so all these mandates will harm poc communties and once again poc will fall farther behind. Dem’s plans always hurt those they SAY they are helping. no wonder poc are starting to vote gop

  2. THE PARENTS HERE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE! THESE VACCINE’S ARE PURE POISON AND DO NOT PROTECT AS THEY AR TOUGHTED BY THE ” BIDEN CARTEL ” RUN BY FARCI WHO IS THE REAL CULPRIT IN THE FALSE INFORMATION SINCE THIS ALL STARTED!

KENNEDY Jr., : THE REAL ANTHONY FAUCI : , WHERE YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU ALL ARE LOOKING FOR, ” WHO, WHAT AND WHY THIS CURSE HAPPENED! GO FOR IT NOW!

  3. Are we to assume that if Whites were disproportionately relegated to online classes, that this would have been okay??? It certainly is worded for one to think so,….. how very sad that liberals only know this tactic. SUPER glad it backfired on them!!!

    1. The obvious answer would be to proportionately exclude white students from in person classes via classes via a lottery system the lottery system being those who couldn’t afford to pay for a golden ticket

  4. RIGHT ON FOR THE STUDENTS LET IT GO VIRAL ALL STUDENTS STAND UP BECAUSE THEIR VOICES WILL HAVE MORE WEIGHT THAN THE ADULTS KEEP IT UP STUDENTS WE STAND BEHIND YOU 100%

  5. The shots kill and mame people, cause heart problems in young men and boys and it kill a lot of babies that women are carrying, many side effects that they won’t talk about.

  6. First, we need to remember that these so called “Vaccines” are not vaccines. They are experimental drugs to cause one’s body to produce the very spike proteins that the virus carries. Those spike proteins are what create the heart problems, blood clots, and other systemic infections that may be referred to as variants of the original virus. In other words the “vaccines” are causing the pandemic. There is enough evidence to say the “vaccines” are designed to reduce the population and they are successful at that. Many vaccine caused deaths are not being reported. Why not? Reporting is voluntary and it takes about 30 minutes to fill out the forms. There is a time limit on filling out the forms and if too much time is taken the person has to start all over. Only between 1% and 10 % are being reported so one or two zeros can be added to the numbers being reported. The permanent disabilities which will lead to an early death are in the millions. Since the spike proteins accumulate in the ovaries and tend to produce sterility the effort to foist these vaccines on children is part of the hidden agenda to reduce the population.

  7. Unfortunately, my guess is that this has very little to do with those two ethnic groups actively resisting the compliance to those mandates and has mucb more to do with their lopsided access to Healthcare. I have a feeling that once the gubmint figures out a way to quietly line them up in school to receive the jab easily and for free that the compliance rate will increase dramatically, perhaps even without parental knowledge or consent. I sure hope I’m wrong.

  8. Thank you California folks for having the courage to stand for your rights! It’s encouraging to find that the voice people can still make a peaceful difference in N America!
