NY Schools cannot require C-19 testing for any activities!

Important win. Children's Health Defense, and attorneys Ray Flores, Jim Mermigis, Mary Holland and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. sued NYC and Mayor de Blasio for excluding children's whose parents did not consent to Covid-19 testing. Today the NYS Education Department issued a memo (below) to all schools stating "The Department hereby clarifies that parent/guardian consent for Covid-19 testing of students may not be a condition of in-person learning or other school activities.”
