The West Virginia Board of Education challenges a lower courts ruling on school vaccine exemptions, arguing that a strict no-exemption policy doesnt violate the states Equal Protection for Religion Act. The board warns that allowing religious opt-outs could lower vaccination rates, endangering more children. The dispute began with a familys lawsuit seeking religious and philosophical exemptions, leading to an executive order by Governor Patrick Morrisey and failed legislative attempts to make religious exemptions law. The Supreme Courts decision could significantly impact school health rules in West Virginia.
