LA Schools Vaccinating Children WITHOUT Parental Consent?

and we're live good morning everybody or good afternoon depending on where you are it's jill simonian from prageru kids and prageru resources for educators and parents our prep membership program um saying hello doing our weekly well it's been a couple weeks actually right almost yes it has alma is with me thank you amelia hooray um i it's been a couple weeks since we've done our check-in but we always like to pop on here every so often say hello to the parents hello to the teachers thank you to the parents and teachers who are trying to educate and raise our children right in this upside down clown world right now and i found a really hot topic headline and news story that hit me like a ton of bricks last night when i saw it as many of you know we're based in the los angeles area this was on local la news i showed this news piece that aired on nbc los angeles to amela and um what are your thoughts before we go ahead and show it oh it's just so uh unbelievable to see this and i'm not a parent but if i was a parent i would be flying through my roof flying through the roof like our prageru commercial exactly that's right right now okay so uh you've seen the headline we've posted it uh let me what is the headline because i don't have a computer friendly just read it for the folks in the back headline here is la schools vaccinating children without parental consent yes okay so i'm gonna say right now i am not here to comment on the vaccine we are not here to discuss the vaccine what i am here with great concern about as a parent of elementary school students is the overreach into parents rights this is ah let's just show the video here we go some parents are questioning the vaccine mandate for lausd and now at least two parents are accusing the district of giving their children the vaccine at school without their consent so what are school administrators saying about this nbc 4's john kenny schlemak has more now from south los angeles even though the vaccine mandate for ausd doesn't go into effect until january 10 some parents tell us that they believe their kids are being pressured into getting the jab i should have been involved maribel duarte says her 13 year old son a student at the barack obama global prep academy in south la brought home this vaccine card after having accepted the covet 19 vaccine at school she says he said yes when someone offered it in exchange for pizza the lady that gave him the shot and signed the paper was the one that told my son please do not say anything i don't want to get in trouble lausd says student matters are confidential and wouldn't comment specifically but did say it's safe schools to safe steps incentive program is meant to ensure several steps are in place for vaccinated students to receive prizes duarte says she's not again so prizes and the official that i don't even know if i can use the word official official for lack of a better word but the person who gave this minor without parental consent the vaccine allegedly said don't tell anyone that i'm giving this to you this is the most disturbing severe overreach into parents rights you know these we've all known at our prep in our prep membership group we talk about overreach into parents rights all the time uh you know all of these mandates that are infringing on our children's ability to learn and effectively live uh you know in in a healthful way these administrations and schools are giving our children surveys about uh sexuality they're giving them videos to watch in health class about abortion how to access an abortion they're giving our children questions about uh how they identify how how they identify uh what their gender identity is what pronouns they want to use all of these radicalized slanted perspectives are being delivered to our students in their classrooms without any of our consent yep and now they're giving vaccines without your consent allegedly i am going to say allegedly but you know this is just it's getting more and more invasive and until parent like like this pair i appreciate this story on the news because i've seen a lot of buzz about it on social media people are really irate they're getting angry they're disturbed i don't care again we are not here to comment on the vaccine i am concerned about schools infringing on family rights parents rights parents need to have uh authority over our own children and and and we're just living in an upside down world um are there any comments about this uh somebody said homeschooling heidi said homeschooling 100 yeah and that's where we're at now heidi i got to tell you uh you know parent-to-parent i was one of the my children are not in home school right now but i did pull my children earlier this academic year out of our once beloved top ranked public school against my wildest imagination because these mandates and the overreach of many teachers many administrators many school board members the overreach and the you know the what they're doing to our children without our consent it was just i got to a point where i said i can't do this anymore and and it's difficult and it's an emotional decision and it's hard and it's hard but it you know this is where we're at and this is just going to get unfortunately worse and worse and worse i mean we're talking about health decisions right that are supposed to be private yep i mean this is just this blew my mind if you haven't watched the whole piece i think we're going to post in the comments there's something else that was found and uh i'm gonna let you introduce it right have it in front of me sure something else we found online this is a pennsylvania teacher on facebook making a post about how she feels about those who seek out religious exemptions i'll go ahead and read it to you and then we'll get into commentary on it but molly writes screw this guy and screw them all who are all about hiding behind religious exemptions because they don't want anybody to tell them what to do people tell you what to do all the time and you do it this is such bs he and his ilk deserve whatever comes their way including losing jobs getting sick and perhaps dying from this virus but in the meantime he's going to put all the people around him in danger i don't know why the gop doesn't just take those guns they they profess to love so much and just start shooting all their constituents who think this way it would be quicker and ultimately safer than putting me and my friends and family at risk so who is molly molly is a teacher in pennsylvania she's also on the board of directors of now of the national education association the nea yeah yeah i'm not laughing because it's funny i'm laughing because i literally don't know what else to do at this point yeah these are the same people that tout inclusivity right these are the same people who drive diversity equity and inclusion initiatives into school districts these are the same people that deliver lessons lasting for 30 minutes in length in children's classroom valuable classroom time about how to be kind to one another is this kindness no it is not is this inclusive no is this respect for diversity a respect for people's religious beliefs respect for diversity of thought diversity of perspective absolutely not yeah what is going on it's crazy and for those of you who don't recognize the national education association the nea is the second largest teachers union in the nation it's in control of over 14 000 school districts in america and she's on the board and she's pretty much saying death to all yep two these are the same people amela who comments about this i want to know if there's any comments oh somebody said my blood pressure just went up i feel i feel awful because we you know we come on here and we expect we don't want to we're not necessarily exposing these things but we are uh highlighting them into the conversation to remind ourselves that we are in a very serious battle for our freedoms and the souls of our kids and the education for our kids on a daily basis any other comments oh let's take a look here um i already know what's going on we are just being attacked yeah yeah yep yeah rightfully said and these i i you know i will say this that molly from you know the teacher in the nea i bet you i would bet i don't know molly i have no idea who she is but i would bet that she's the type of person who thinks that the phrase merry christmas is offensive yeah to be said at schools have a feeling have a strong feeling yeah look what i literally do allegedly [Music] so look what i did there was that a segue that worked that's a pretty that's pretty good is it a good segue i'm trying for me pretty good so all right so all this said all of this negativity and these headlines and these stories and allegations that do in fact make our blood pressure rise as parents and teachers who are trying to deliver a true all-inclusive education for our kids prageru kids this new book launched for kindergarten through second graders today it's otto's tales adventures of a young dennis prager with his little gray hair at the age of eight and and otto today is christmas have you read this yet no i have no idea i know i don't expect it to ever i didn't pay a slim 9.99 on amazon to have it delivered also on prime well i just listen it just launched today so you're not late to the game and we'll get you a copy but this is actually listen every all of us all of us who believe in christmas is a religious holiday and celebrate christmas we know the religious story behind christmas and we do in fact appreciate an honor that we have religious freedom in this country not everyone has to celebrate christmas and we honor that we respect that this book uh tells a story of christmas that really uh that really highlights how christmas is an a recognized official american holiday how the american recognition of christmas in america can unite us can uh can collectively um can collectively honor family giving charity giving back all of those things that really bring us together as a country at this time of year and christmas is a recognized national holiday so this book uh although we do celebrate religious freedom always and forever this book is a fabulous addition to this book today is thanksgiving and this book the national anthem and pledge of allegiance and this book september 11th and today is columbus day and today is veterans day oh look it's all of our books do you know any young people who might need christmas gifts this year plenty plenty of little cousins i love it you guys hey you got to appreciate how we bring you the hot incendiary topics but then we also let you know what we are offering to combat it to really offset all the negativity that's going on in this world today is christmas drop today on amazon we have i think we have an amazon link in our comments but we also have prageru.com kidsbooks where you can get all of these and gift them to the kids or grandkids or students in your life and also consider gifting them to school libraries and kindergarten teachers because uh they really are you want to talk about inclusivity these really are all inclusive right it's not fake inclusive like molly from the nea tries to be fake inclusive and then says death to all these are really inclusive exactly all right good any other comments a lot of people talking about pulling their kids out of school why stay in l.a when schools are running this way some people saying we need to stay and stand up and fight a lot of mixed signals yeah here yeah it's mixed signals and it's mixed it's mixed because it's it's a it's a very confusing time and as a parent i've struggled through it i have always been a big believer in public education my sister my mom my grandmother all fabulous public school teachers um i struggled more than i can adequately describe for pulling my children out of our school that i wanted that i was the biggest cheerleader for the best advice i can give to any parents watching is fight speak up make your voice heard find your like-minded people in your school in your neighborhood don't back down yet at the same time you must do right by your family and you are responsible for making individual choices that serve your children well for the place that you are in and for the uh education that you are trying to give your children and i really struggled with uh you know oh if i pull my kids out does that make me a hypocrite no it makes me a parent who is trying to do right by my family first and also on a larger scale trying to do right by all of you by fighting the good fight here with everyone at prageru and in my own neighborhood uh with you know certain things that are still going on and the schools that i frankly pay taxes to support so you know teachers out there please make your voice heard find your like-mindeds if you're a teacher or pr or if a fellow teacher or principal or administrator is requiring uh diversity trainings that really are trainings in racism uh speak up stand up say you're not comfortable with it use their word of inclusivity saying hey i would like to be included in this conversation and and and and the best thing we can do is just to make the right decisions at each opportunity we have um absolutely all right we're gonna we're gonna sign off and say goodbye we want you to check out these headlines we hope we lit a little little fire to stay to stay vigilant to stay active and um as
