The issue is that Perry circumvented the legislature, the will of the people, and, most importantly, parental rights, to force this drug on school children.

Since there was an Opt Out clause, the "facts" you supplied to form this issue is nothing but manufactured untruths which makes your issue a non-issue. Michele Bachmann is already learning that today. The hard way.

The mere fact that Lord Perry created this gauntlet for parents to have to run, in my opinion is nothing less than political harassment. As if parents didn't have enough to worry about, all of a sudden they had to devote hours and days of their time, jumping through hoops, calling, writing letters, pouring over pages and pages of legalese. Perry and his toadies make it sound as if all parents had to do was fill out a simple form, check a box, and that's it. They're lying.
