We just won a huge victory for parental rights.

On Monday, the United States Supreme Court said "No" to
the State of New York's attempt to force an Amish community to
vaccinate their school-age children.

Watch Kelly Shackelford's critical update on this victory.

For religious reasons, the Amish educate their children in private
Amish schools and have done so for hundreds of years without
vaccinations.

And for over 50 years, New York accommodated their religious belief by
granting religious exemptions from the State's school
vaccination requirements. But in 2019, the State repealed its
religious exemption for vaccine mandates for school children.

In 2022, the State imposed catastrophic penalties on the Amish
community in its attempt to force them to comply.

This Supreme Court decision sends a clear message to the government
that it can no longer force parents to comply with policies that
substantially interfere with their ability to raise their children
according to their religious beliefs.

But unfortunately, this case isn't over. It has been sent to the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Please be in prayer for this Amish community, that the State of New
York will follow the Supreme Court's direction by allowing them
to resume living out their faith - just like they've done for
the last 200 years.
