Religious Freedom Group to Challenge Veterans Administration's Vaccine Mandate 

A public interest law firm that specializes in First Amendment religious freedom litigation is challenging the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs mandate that all employees be vaccinated against the coronavirus. "The VA has no authority to mandate the COVID shots. Federal employees are also protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Forcing any person to receive one of these COVID injections is a violation of federal law. It is shocking that a federal agency would brazenly violate federal law," Staver said. 

CDC Director: Vaccine Passports 'May Very Well Be a Path Forward' in US 

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky suggested that vaccine passport style systems might be implemented in the United States amid the COVID-19 pandemic. When asked in a TV interview Wednesday about whether the United States would mandate a European-style "health pass” system for nightclubs or bars, Walensky said, "That may very well be a path forward." 

Middle School Teacher Fired for Informing Parents That Their Two Children Had Decided to Become 'Transgender' 

A Massachusetts middle school teacher with a spotless 20-year record is being fired by the principal and superintendent. Teachers and guidance counselors at the school began to introduce "transgender" ideas to children. They told children to decide their "preferred pronouns" and persuaded them that they might have been born in the "wrong" sex. As confusion grew, teachers would give them opposite-sex names to use in class and were specifically told not to tell parents. In February 2021, the teacher sawt a sister and brother (ages 11 and 13) who were now claiming to be "transgender" and seeking "gender transition." The teacher became upset and informed the parents. For that she was put on leave and the school has now started the administrative process to terminate her.
