Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers has filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court supporting the religious rights of parents to object to vaccination requirements for their daughter who attends an online-only public school.
Krystal and Anthony Perry believe vaccinations developed from the remains of aborted fetuses violate their Christian faith. But a West Virginia school district has disenrolled the Perrys’ daughter because they refuse to vaccinate her, even though their daughter was attending online public school at home.
Lower courts rejected the Perrys' case and Hilgers is leading a coalition of 16 attorneys general in encouraging the U.S. Supreme Court to take it up.
