Why golly gosh, another response from you that does not address the question asked. You failed to cite a part of the Constitution that compels vaccination or compulsory education/government education. All 50 states allow homeschooling, just so next time you are not so ignorant. If there is not a State funded facility required for all per your post there is not a State requirement for vaccination.

Previously you stated "State governments are well within their Constitutional authority to require basic health and safety measures for the 50 million children who attend public school. You're perfectly within your right to leave your children defenseless against deadly diseases, but you cannot pass that risk on to other children. That isn't liberty."

My children attend a government school; and within their rights they have refused vaccines. Not only are they able to pass that risk on to other children(who evidently are not immunized despite being vaccinated...screw science and how immunization works) they can and do. On the positive side I am glad you have shown yourself for the liberal that you are since you are clearly advocating more power to governments than the law allows and being ignorant of the current state of our laws.

I didn't cite it because their isn't in the Us Constitution. States however are not bound by the enumerated powers in Article I Section 8. The states powers are "numerous and indefinite", and there is nothing in the Texas Constitution that would in any way prohibit the state from establishing vaccination regulations in public schools. You must not understand Federalism.

You have a serious reading comprehension problem. I never stated that home schooling was not allowed.

For your information, Texas does have public schools and vaccine mandates, which are constitutional under our state constitution, just so next time you are not so ignorant.

I'm well aware of the religious and philosophical exemptions to vaccination. I'm arguing from a philosophical viewpoint as your kids should not be allowed to attend public school. You yourself even admitted that they are passing on unnecessary risk to other children because you're not responsible enough to vaccinate them against preventable infectious diseases.

Other kids shouldn't be exposed to infectious diseases simply because you believe in pseudoscience.
