Bless you and thank you for writing to voice your request and sincere hope that the board will mandate vaccines for all school employees, with only medical exemptions allowed. Religious exemptions are legally allowed too. Vaccines are already required for all state employees. What is your definition of a vaccine? In addition, vaccines should be required by choice for all students for whom the vaccine has been fully approved, just as many other vaccines are by choice.   
  
While we understand that your daughter and all children have sacrificed much over the past 18 months. They only have one childhood and gratefully has already God given grandeur holy purpose. They are finally back to in person school. What a blessing! All our prayerful and practical hard work provided them this opportunity. Did we not cherish the time we got to spend with them more? Even though we are seeing disruptions to education for far too many due to infections, possible infections based on symptoms, and mandatory quarantines, are we not grateful for the good already received, and resilience? Did we not bring this misunderstanding of health upon ourselves? Did we not let fear in to disrupt us of our peace? Are we not more mindful of each other? Is there a guarantee that the vaccines will rid us of the sacrifices our children and our ancestors made to live? What is your concept of the family of man? If our patience is tested, why stand aghast, why not stand for more patience to have Her perfect work for the betterment of humanity?  Why not stand for our holy rights?
  
Sure, your daughter and all students should have a right to be able to attend school without being unnecessarily put at risk by other students and teachers who refuse to be vaccinated, and without constant disruptions to their education. The only risk is fearing fear itself. And it sure would be great for them to be able to go to school without masks and without worrying about lunch and other unmasked times, as well as overcrowded busses. Did you know that to worry is ingratitude in advance? The irrational minority should not be dictating the public health policy for VA or the schools. There is no minority in God’s kingdom, we as His ideas reflect Him. We do not reflect a virus, we reflect health, and harmony. One God, good, one Ego, one Love, one Life, one Truth, one Principle, one Mind, one Soul, one Spirit. One peace. One healing. One Man.  
  

Isn’t it in God we trust. What is our definition of God? Good and Bad? How can Good be its opposite? God - Good first. God -Good is my protection and preserver. Freedom of religion.  

Mandating masks, eliminates freedom of speech, and disables all to hard of hearing, restraint, and seclusion. If we are mandating masks, get it materialistically right and wear clear ones. Why aren't we mandating prayer watches? Why is it Scripture versus medicine, when it is Spirit the heals, not matter that heals. But if you believe matter heals, take the vaccine, but let me have my freedom of religion, speech, and choice to believe and understand that Spirit heals all. God is the true judge, not a doctor. What an opportunity to know God more! God guards, governs, and guides.  

What cannot God do?  

COVID, CDC, drugs, vaccines, and masks deter, they are not gods, God heals. What more to ask for? How can God be disease? Fear not, God gives us strength to see this through all the way, not halfway. We are whole and complete in Him we trust. God is so good!  

No matter how big the disease is it is still zero power compared to the power of the Love God has for all his creation. Trust in Spirit and it will form anew, and stronger in our understanding of Him during this distraction of fear. Bless you, your family, and all in prayerful protection. To be spiritually minded is life and... peace. Be still and know...peace. It's all good, and in good time.
