Do you see the larger picture here?
We think this is all over, but it is not. Look no further than NYC schools' banning students from after school activities based on their vax status, yet they can attend school all day.
Every win in the court system is telling us that our rights were violated and continue to be violated. What keeps these mandates alive is the public's willingness to comply.
If you recall, DC's Mayor Muriel Browser mandated that all students needed the Vax to attend school. She also mandated that DC Employees do the same.
DC employees sued and WON!
A judge ruled that DC employees did not have to be vaxxed to keep their jobs.
Hours later, DC's Mayor postponed her school vax mandate and said it will start in January. In light of a precedent setting Judge's Order, Browser's school mandate postponement is a political maneuver to hold onto power. The postponement also puts the premise of "public health" which is supposed to be the basis for the mandates, into serious doubt.
So... if it is illegal for the employees then why should it be legal for the students?
That is what the argument is about.
The teachers union has a tremendous role in this. If the teachers union stood initially with their membership (and by default they would have stood for the students) and said NO to Vax/Testing or vax mandates here in NYS and NYC -- or better yet, sued the state/city the way the DC's employees did, then the outcome would have been that it was illegal to do so...
- Illegal for schools to fire people who refused.
- Illegal for schools (private or public) to deny students an education or extra curricular activities based on their vax status.
Here in NYS, we have seen court cases win based on the simple fact that our governor has circumvented the legislative process and continued using agencies and committees with non-elected officials, using twitter, television and media to perpetrate "mandates" recommendations and requirements, as legally binding Laws.
They never were Law and they're still not!!!
Our constitution doesn't discriminate or segregate between certain groups of people, different agencies or departments, or types of employment, or geographical areas within our nation as free, or not free.
IT SAYS THE OPPOSITE: All men are created equal.
There's no differentiation between workers or students / college classrooms or stadiums.
Our rights are inalienable -- which means ABSOLUTE, and unable to be taken or given away. The constitution, which was written during a time of war, can never be suspended. It protects our rights, it does not give us those rights. The constitution no matter what we do, where we live, where we choose to eat, or pray, or to learn - protects us all equally.
All of this has been illegal from day one. Just because they tweet it or say it on TV it doesn't make it Law -- It doesn't make it a true legally binding regulation.
They have dumbed "US" down so badly we can no longer, even as educated adults,
use reason effectively. We cannot use logic, and discern what is truth or lies, what is law or not, what is legally binding or illegally pushed on the public.
The Constitution is right there in front of our faces to read and understand. It clearly states what our rights are.
We, the adults, have been conditioned to capitulate to group consensus, to not stand up for those rights based on social pressures. To just put all of our inalienable rights aside for the false promise of safety.
Attorney Chad LaVeglia's mask mandate case, which he won last January, and now Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox's quarantine and isolation case, won this July, prove that our rights have been violated. The reason why our State's Governor is appealing both cases is because these wins, including the NYC mask for toddlers win, were all legitimate wins which undermine the Executive branch's unlawful and unconstitutional power grab.
Both cases were won because of Governor Hochul's Executive branch's illegal use of regulations.
The sooner the public starts stringing all of this together and realizing that it is illegal to mandate something in one place over another, or over one segment of the population over another, and STOP complying -- we will set ourselves free.
Instead of upholding the rights of all citizens, the State is violating our rights and wasting our tax money by utilizing appeals. Ultimately, the State's appeals will not win, but they will drag these cases on and on.
I encourage you all to read Bobbie Anne's Substack piece below, and as always send this Newsletter to your entire contact lists.
