SB 124 (Abraham) requires the collection by the LA Dept. of Education of personally identifiable information (PII) belonging to homeschool students whose parents choose to register with the state. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THE LA DEPT. of ED. TO COLLECT THE PII OF PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS! Does it make sense that the dept. be allowed/required to collect this info of homeschooling students when this same department isn't allowed to collect it from the public school students/schools actually under its purview??? The DOE is only allowed to get aggregate data from the public schools because that is the only kind of data needed for state and federal program evaluation. Email all senators & tell them to Vote NO to SB 124 (Abraham) and protect the Right to Privacy!

MCKNIGHT, PRES. BIDEN, PELOSI AND MAXINE WATERS WALK INTO A SCHOOL...AND INVADE PRIVACY...4/12/2022
LA State Representative McKnight (R) has sponsored HB 470 which is scheduled to be heard in the House Education Committee this morning (Wed., April 13th). This horrendous bill proposes to track individuals from 9th grade into the workplace. If this bill passes the social security numbers of all students will become vulnerable to state contractors which is exactly what prompted Louisiana to pass the strongest student data privacy law in the nation in 2014.
If passed, HB 470 will allow student social security numbers (which are currently protected) to be linked to the unique identification number that all students receive when they enter school (making the unique identifier kind of obsolete!). The social security number will be used to access the unemployment tax reporting data base that is used by employers to report payroll data to the state for the purpose of paying unemployment taxes. The student data will then be linked to the employment data for all students which will allow them to be tracked into college and their careers.
Students will be tracked until they reach the age of 26 or until they rescind the permission that they "granted" to have their right to privacy violated by the state. This is outrageous. There is no government interest that can justify such an overreach and disregard for personal privacy. Additionally, the tax reporting data base will be made vulnerable by giving outside contractors access to it. How are we as citizens suppose to know if they are accessing other information? Tax reporting data bases should be held to a higher standard than any other data base. Citizens need to be able to trust that government is safeguarding their information especially since such tax reporting is mandatory. But what does this have to do with Joe Biden? Well the Biden administration supports tracking all individuals from school to the workplace. In fact, a federal bill, the "America Competes Act of 2022" just passed both Houses in Washington proposing to track students into the workplace. The Biden Administration released a Statement of Administration Policy on February 1, 2022 outlining support for the America Competes Act of 2022. The America Competes Act of 2022 is a dangerous piece of legislation, as explained by the author of this article in Forbes: Congress Considers Lifetime Data Tracking For Post-High School Students. Here is an excerpt from the article: "Collecting and sharing data about colleges based on outcomes for students has long been a dream of some policy makers, particularly under the Obama administration, which tried several such plans. But as this bill makes clear, it’s not possible to collect such data without doing data tracking of postsecondary graduates to a level that is a bit creepy." Pelosi and Maxine Waters both support the America Competes Act of 2022 as evidenced by their press releases: House Committee Chairs Statement on Unveiling of the America COMPETES Act of 2022. Here is an excerpt: “The United States has long been a beacon of excellence in science and engineering,” said Science, Space, and Technology Committee Chairwoman Eddie Bernice Johnson. “If we’re going to continue to lead, the time is now to chart our own course. That’s what my colleagues and I in the House plan to do with the America COMPETES Act of 2022. I am so proud of the bipartisan Science Committee provisions that are included in this package. Our bills were built from the ground up with rigorous input from the scientific community on what they need most to succeed in the 21st century. They will bolster our nation’s competitiveness and reaffirm our global leadership in innovation and technology. These transformative investments in science and innovation will help us to revitalize our research infrastructure, create STEM opportunities for all, build clean energy solutions, address the climate crisis, reinforce our national security, enhance our semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, and so much more. By leveraging our scientific investments and talent to develop solutions that improve the lives of each and every American – including those in historically underserved communities – we help ensure the durability of our leadership. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and Senate, Speaker Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Schumer, and President Biden as we come together to put America on a path to prosperity and leadership.” How dare these so-called elected officials try to sell the American Citizens that we need to be tracked by government in order to be able to "compete with China!" We have never had an issue competing with China - unless we are competing with which country can oppress it's citizens more!!!! McKnight's HB 470 is a bill designed to secure federal funding at the expense of the right to privacy of the children of Louisiana - a violation that will continue into their careers. Do Louisiana citizens want federal funding at the expense of their children's rights??? So, is Rep. McKight, a supposed Republican, aligned with the Biden administration so that Louisiana can receive federal grant money? Is McKnight putting the system in place so that in the future our students won't be able to "opt out" of being tracked by the government? Does McKnight know that his job is to protect the rights of the citizens of Louisiana from government overreach instead of enabling it?!?! Please contact the members of the House Education Committee ASAP and tell them to kill this bill. Government does not need to track individual citizens like tagged animals in the wild.

So, get ready, because here comes the first of what we are sure will be many bills of concern:
Sen. McMath has filed SB 229, and wouldn't you know, the Student Data Privacy Law is under attack...again. If passed, this bill will allow the Board of Regents, the state Department of Education, and the Louisiana Workforce Commission to share personally identifiable student information of students earning industry-based credentials...without parental consent or consent of students who have reached the age of maturity. Sen. McMath's bill literally cancels the intent of the Student Data Privacy Law in that it: (1) requires secondary schools to collect information the law forbids them from collecting; and, (2) specifically allows for the sharing of personally identifiable information: "(2) The governing authority of each public secondary school shall collect the following personally identifiable information for each public secondary school graduate who earned an industry-based credential: (a) Full name. (b) Date of birth. (c) Social security number. (d) Industry-based credential earned. (3) Each public postsecondary education institution shall collect the following personally identifiable information for each of its students who earned an industry-based credential at a public secondary school in Louisiana: (a) Full name. (b) Date of birth. (c) Social security number. (d) Industry-based credential earned. (4) The governing authority of each public secondary school shall disclose information collected pursuant to Paragraph (1) of this Subsection and each public postsecondary education institution shall disclose information collected pursuant to Paragraph (2) of this Subsection to the Louisiana Workforce Commission..." Louisiana's Student Data Privacy Law was passed unanimously through all committees and both chambers as Act 837 of the 2014 legislative session. It is the strongest student data privacy law in the nation. At that time, the Louisiana Workforce Commission (and many others) made our legislature very aware of their strong desire to track our children, and the legislature said "NO!" Now, Sen. McMath wants to weaken the law, undo its protections, and allow certain children to be tracked like tagged animals in the wild. The state told us that these programs would work and be beneficial. Now, it seems that they are not very sure. So, the solution to their uncertainty is that a select group of children must relinquish their rights to privacy, and certain parents must hand over to the state their rights/responsibilities to decide when and with whom their children's personally identifiable information will be shared?!? Please, call Sen. McMath at (985) 900-6278. Tell him he made a mistake with this bill, and he needs to pull it. Remind him that the law that he is trying to amend with SB 229 (R.S. 17:3914) actually begins like this: "The legislature hereby declares that all personally identifiable information is protected as a right to privacy under the Constitution of Louisiana and the Constitution of the United States." Tell him that THIS PROTECTION EXISTS FOR ALL STUDENTS - whether or not they seek industry credentials. Much as he and the industries might not like it, those children are still the wards of their parents - not of the state or its corporate sponsors! On Monday, Oct 4, Southwest Airlines (based in Texas) mandated that their employees "be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Dec. 8, 2021, to continue employment with the airline." Also, on Monday, Texas Governor, Abbott, issued an executive order banning "any entity" in the state from enforcing a vaccine mandate. “On Friday, Oct. 8th, The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association then filed litigation against the airline in a Dallas, Texas court. On Saturday, Oct. 9th, a vast number of Southwest pilots did not report to work, bringing Southwest to a screeching halt. On Tuesday, Oct. 12th, Southwest CEO, Gary Kelly, said “We are not going to fire any employees over this." Please see our response to a post by Health Freedom Louisiana (HFL): The People, LLC (TPL) does not apologize for working (on our own time and our own dime) to protect the God-given rights of the citizens of Louisiana. We have been attacked year after year for taking a stand against government overreach. As citizens, it is our duty to do our due diligence and hold our elected officials accountable. While we appreciate the effort of those attempting to get HB498 passed, we see the unintended consequences that must be addressed. We do hold Rep Edmonston responsible, however. As an elected representative, she is responsible for protecting our rights. It is her duty. If there is even a slim possibility that a bill will have an ill effect on the rights of the citizens, then that bill must be discarded. Louisiana Families deserve more than spin from Rep. Edmonston. Here we address each of the points made by HFL: HFL: HB498 prohibits discrimination until the shots are given full FDA approval, but does not in any way ALLOW or promote discrimination at the point. TPL:
HFL: HB498 does NOT amend existing exemption law - RS 17:170(E), rather it prohibits LDH from adding the shots to the schedule PRIOR to FDA approval, as the LSU Faculty Council petitioned them to do. TPL:
HFL: HB498 prohibits the state from distinguishing between a vaxxed and unvaxxed person, thereby eliminating masks mandates for unvaxxed persons in public schools and universities. TPL:
HFL: Without HB498, LSU Preschool can ask that children as young as two be masked. That is a discriminatory action. TPL:
HFL: While I appreciate and cite existing federal law governing EUA’s which explicitly provides an individual’s right to refuse, 117 employees at Houston Memorial hospital were not protected by that law. TPL:
HB 498 has been touted as a bill that forbids discrimination on the basis of whether or not a citizen has received a "Covid vaccine." We were APPALLED by the bill's passage after being SHOCKED to see what was actually in it: If allowed to become law, this bill will actually undo the protections that exist in our current laws regarding the ability of parents and students of legal age to waive any Covid vaccine requirement of the public schools or other educational institutions. Louisiana law currently provides: "A.(1)(a) Each person entering any school within the state for the first time, including elementary and secondary schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities, proprietary schools, vocational schools, and licensed day care centers, at the time of registration or entry shall present satisfactory evidence of immunity to or immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases according to a schedule approved by the office of public health, Louisiana Department of Health, or shall present evidence of an immunization program in progress." With this exception: "E. No person seeking to enter any school or facility enumerated in Subsection A of this Section shall be required to comply with the provisions of this Section if the student or his parent or guardian submits either a written statement from a physician stating that the procedure is contraindicated for medical reasons, or a written dissent from the student or his parent or guardian is presented." Our current law does not exclude "Covid vaccines" from the possibility of waiver if the LA Dept. of Health should add the vaccine to the schedule of "required vaccines;" therefore, parents and students of legal age currently have the authority within present law to waive a Covid vaccine requirement should any be made. However... If the veto of HB498 is overridden during the Louisiana Legislative Veto Session scheduled to begin on Tuesday, July 20, 2021, the current law will be changed. HB498: "A. Except as provided in Subsection C of this Section, no official, governing authority, or agency of the state or of any political subdivision of the state shall, in executing any of its programs, policies, duties, or functions, distinguish between individuals based on whether a person has or has not received a vaccine targeting COVID-19 disease or SARS-COV2 or any variant or mutation thereof until the date that the application for use of such a vaccine has been approved by the secretary of the United States Food and Drug Administration and the Emergency Use Authorization for such a vaccine is no longer effective. C. The prohibition of Subsection A of this Section does not apply to: (2) Immunization requirements involving schools and education institutions as specifically provided for by law, except that the prohibition of Subsection A of this Section shall apply to vaccines targeting COVID-19 disease or SARS-COV2 or any variant or mutation thereof, until the date that the application for use of such a vaccine has been approved by the secretary of the United States Food and Drug Administration and the Emergency Use Authorization for such a vaccine is no longer effective." Once the FDA approves a Covid vaccine, HB 498 mandates that schools require that students get the vaccine in order to attend. HB 498, specifically, eliminates the ability of parents and students of legal age to waive Covid vaccine requirements in schools and other educational institutions. What about other government agencies? HB 498 only provides protection to citizens from discrimination from government agencies and programs UNTIL the FDA approves Covid vaccines! Notice the use of the word "until": Government agencies will not be allowed to discriminate "until the date that the application for use of such a vaccine has been approved by the secretary of the United States Food and Drug Administration and the Emergency Use Authorization for such a vaccine is no longer effective." Once the vaccine is approved and Emergency Use is lifted, THE STATE of Louisiana IS AUTHORIZED TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST "WE, THE PEOPLE!" At best, HB 498 simply and actually attempts to do what Federal law already does - protect citizens from being required to receive or use anything while approved for use under Emergency Use Authorization: "(A) Required conditions ii) Appropriate conditions designed to ensure that individuals to whom the product is administered are informed- (III) of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks." At worst, HB 498 seeks to undo the longstanding protection of the right of parents and students to waive vaccine requirements in Louisiana. All we can say is," WOW!" Does Rep. Edmonston know what is in her own bill? What about the list of co-sponsors?? What about those who voted for it??? To protect the right of parents and students of legal age to waive Covid vaccine requirements made by educational institutions in our state: --Copy & paste the email blocks below to email the legislators and tell them to vote NO to overriding the governor's veto of HB498. --Let them know that federal law already affords protections regarding the vaccines while they are being administered under Emergency Use Authorization. --Tell them that the veto must stand in order to secure the right of parents and students of legal age to waive vaccine requirements of schools, including, Covid vaccines.

VACCINES ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR YOUR CHILD TO ATTEND SCHOOL IN LOUISIANA!! Many of us have been told that vaccines are required in order for our children to attend school in Louisiana. In fact, a law is even cited to make us believe this – LA R.S. 17:170.4. But, did you know that this same law, also, states that vaccines are not required for our children to attend school??? It's one of those things that lawmakers do in order to get their unconstitutional bills passed--they create “exceptions.” These "exceptions" are necessary so that our elected officials do not violate our God-given rights while they, also, work to appease the bureaucrats insistent on creating the all-powerful government. Unfortunately, this habit of creating “exceptions” keeps the lawmakers technically in the clear; but, the language of these types of laws creates a pathway for the bureaucrats to confuse the public on what is actually required. In the case of vaccination “requirements” to attend school, the way the school system words these "requirements" is what confuses parents: they only refer to the requirements in the law without ever informing parents of their ability to waive these requirements for their children: FOR EXAMPLE --LA R.S. 17:170 A.(1)(a) requires: Each person entering any school within the state for the first time, including elementary and secondary schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities, proprietary schools, vocational schools, and licensed day care centers, at the time of registration or entry shall present satisfactory evidence of immunity to or immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases according to a schedule approved by the office of public health, Louisiana Department of Health, or shall present evidence of an immunization program in progress. HOWEVER --Subsection E. of the same law states: No person seeking to enter any school or facility enumerated in Subsection A of this Section shall be required to comply with the provisions of this Section if the student or his parent or guardian submits either a written statement from a physician stating that the procedure is contraindicated for medical reasons, or a written dissent from the student or his parent or guardian is presented. LIKEWISE --Subsection A.(1)(a) of state law 17:170.4 says that children 11 and 16 years old "shall" show proof of meningococcal disease to enter school. HOWEVER --Subsection B. of the same law states: The provisions of Subsection A of this Section shall not apply to the following persons: (1) Any person whose parent, tutor, or legal guardian signs a waiver stating that the person shall not be immunized against meningococcal disease for religious or other personal reasons. " Why aren’t the school’s required to make this clear to parents? WHAT ABOUT HOMESCHOOLERS?? --Subsection A.(1)(c) of LA R.S. 17:170.4 states: “Except as provided in Subsection B of this Section, each student who is eleven years old and each student who is sixteen years old and is participating in an approved home study program pursuant to R.S. 17:236.1 shall provide satisfactory evidence of current immunization against meningococcal disease in accordance with a directive provided by the state Department of Education and the Louisiana Department of Health that shall be based on the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education as provided by rule adopted by the board in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act." HOWEVER --Subsection B. of 17:170.4 still applies: The provisions of Subsection A of this Section shall not apply to the following persons: (1) Any person whose parent, tutor, or legal guardian signs a waiver stating that the person shall not be immunized against meningococcal disease for religious or other personal reasons." Why isn’t the Dept. of Education/BESE required to make this clear to homeschooling parents?? SO, WHAT ABOUT COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY STUDENTS??? This waiver of vaccination requirements business is, also, true for college & university students. Yes, you read that correctly! In fact, most universities provide a form that can be completed to “request exemption from the vaccine requirement.” Here is a screenshot of the top section of one such form: Unfortunately, this form presents yet another example of the state’s educational system deceiving constituents regarding their legal right to waive this requirement: While ULL would like you to believe that you must “request exemption,” the fact is that college & university students, also, have the authority to waive this requirement without "requesting" anything! --LA R.S. 170.1 C. states: The provisions of Subsection A of this Section shall not apply to the following persons: (1) Any person who is eighteen years of age or older and who signs a waiver provided by the postsecondary education institution stating that the person has received and reviewed the information provided pursuant to Subsection B of this Section and has chosen not to be vaccinated against meningococcal disease for religious or other personal reasons. (2) Any person who is a minor and whose parent, tutor, or legal guardian signs a waiver stating that the person has received and reviewed the information provided pursuant to Subsection B of this Section and has chosen for the student not to be vaccinated against meningococcal disease for religious or other personal reasons.” Why aren't the colleges, universities, and Board of Regents making this clear to students and their parents??? WHAT ABOUT THE LA DEPT. OF HEALTH Here is vaccination requirement info from our LA Dept. of Health in a screenshot dated today - July 15, 2021: This is a clear case of our LA Health Dept. playing the same deceptive game with parents! According to LA Law 17:170.4, a doctor need not ever be involved in the waiver process. The parent or student of legal age simply has to let the school know in writing that they waive this requirement for their child or themselves. Why are various departments of the state trying to make parents think that they don’t have the sole authority to make these decisions for their children???? Why are various departments of the state trying to make young adults think that they can’t make these decisions for themselves????? TO BE CLEAR The authority to waive this requirement rests solely with the parent or student of legal age per LA RS 17:170 Subsection E; LA R.S. 17:170.1 Subsection C; and, LA RS 17:170.4 Subsection B. LA law is clear: parents or students of legal age merely need to provide in writing that they dissent from the vaccination requirement. It’s time our lawmaker’s use their police power and legislate the requirement that schools, universities, and all departments of the state inform constituents of their legal right to waive vaccination requirements. Rather than appeasing the bureaucrats, it is past time that our senators and representatives do their actual job which is to secure our God-given & individual rights against the mob...especially when the mob is comprised of the departments of our state government. |
