Mandates used to threaten the rights and livelihoods of the "the people" to provide for their family and educate their children in ways consistant with their beliefs and values, or exercise their right to refuse forced medical procedures is government coercion under the cover of health policy. Forced medical procedures or forced medication is immoral and illegal with rare exception in Virginia. In schools we used to teach children not to bully others. What are we teaching children when government officials bully teachers and students, comply or suffer?

Sic semper tyrannus? - perhaps Virginia needs a new state flag too. We are born with rights that are recognized by law, not granted by government bureaucrats.
