We’ve been following the story of the Amish schools who faced fines reaching six figures for failing to adhere to New York’s vaccine requirement for school age children.
The children in question were Amish, and the schools in question were Amish-run schools. Previously, New York provided a religious exemption, but that ended in 2019. The Amish in turn rejected the requirement to make sure their students were vaccinated. This led to three schools racking up fines that totaled $118,000.
