EXCLUSIVE: Sens. tedcruz and MarshaBlackburn lead charge to repeal 'racist' DC school COVID vaccine mandate
Earlier this year, government officials in Washington, D.C., enacted a citywide vaccine mandate for all eligible K-12 students for the 2022-23 school year but delayed its implementation last month until January 2023 amid substantial noncompliance, particularly among the city's black community.
"The rate of vaccination for black students between the ages of 12 and 15 in Washington, D.C. is 60 percent — far lower than the city average. D.C. schools has already postponed enforcement of this racist policy until 2023 and they should simply scrap it," Cruz said."Until they do, I will fight for the students of D.C. and work to end this mandate.”
