WASHINGTON- Last night, during a budget reconciliation markup, Congresswoman Mary Miller (IL-15) introduced an amendment proposing that schools must obtain parent or guardian consent before vaccinating children.

“Parents should always be the ones making healthcare decisions for their own children, and believe it or not, children across our nation are being administered the vaccine without parental consent,” Miller said. “Not surprisingly, Democrats are rejecting parental rights in favor of an all-powerful government.”

After Congresswoman Miller presented her amendment, Democrat leadership responded by saying that, “parents do NOT know what’s best for their kids,” and that government must “protect kids FROM their parents.”
