NEW: In a leaked post from a private Facebook group for UTLA union members only, teachers are warned not to post on social media if they go on spring break vacations because the optics would be bad for them while UTLA is refusing to return to "unsafe" in-person schooling @FOXLA
Woke up and realized yesterday was NOT a Dream. A child with an actual disease like HIV or HEP B can not be discriminated against and must be admitted to ANY school public or private. Yet a disease free child is barred from school (unless they can pay for private ) #nos2173
.@vingopal a couple 100 constituents were at your office yesterday. We all had questions about #S2173. Here is my son Michael's: I have NF1. My doctor says don't vaccinate me. Senator Gopal, you know better? @declanoscanlon @LatusStacey @hopefromholly @INparentingNJ@delbigtree
After so much hard work and more time away from our kids and our jobs and our life, we get support from legislators, 😭 it’s beautiful to feel heard. @mikedohertynj thank you Senator!!
@vingopal my 4 kids and I came to speak to you this afternoon...with dozens of your constituents and their children. Where were you? The day after flip flopping and selling out to vote for a DISCRIMINATORY bill?? Don't forget who you work for! #WeWillNotForget#WeWillNotComply
It’s clear that @vingopal does NEITHER listen to his constituents NOR want to know science. I gave you every opportunity. This less-than-1-term politico has become a SWAMP RAT fast. I’ll personally - repeat - be in Jersey to make sure you pay for your sins & lose your seat badly.
.@vingopal - you proved you are nothing but a scumbag politician. I gave you the benefit of the doubt. But now, I’ll work very hard to see you are voted out. Remember in NOVEMBER!
S-2173 was amended in the legislature to allow for private schools to opt out of the vaccine mandate.
Regardless how one feels about the issue of vaccinations, when it comes to children we should be in agreement that all laws must be equally applied.

@declanoscanlon this ammendment is a direct assault on the poor and working class families. It is an attack on minorities. Don't sell your soul.

Senator @vingopal Gopal was a “no” vote until today’s amendments. He is ONLY concerned with preserving the rights of the wealthy and his motivation has NOTHING to do with public health. @hopefromholly @LatusStacey @INparentingNJ@delbigtree@RobertKennedyJr
Our Constitutional Rights are at serious risk. You deserve to make decisions WITHOUT having to worry about overreaching government interference or intervention. Will you join me in the fight to preserve liberty & religious freedom for ALL? #TeamTesta#LD1

BREAKING! Massive fight going down in NJ as @SenSweeney “amends” bill to limit religious exemptions to only religious school - scumbag @SenSweeney! To HELL with these corrupt politicians!
America is now OFFICIALLY A CASTE SYSTEM! Democrat Establishment of NJ JUST VOTED for Amending the S2173 to give #Vaccine exemptions to RICH KIDS! It’s okay to injure & kill the poor - black & white - those who can’t afford private schools. The REVOLUTION BEGINS, NOW!!
Senator @declanoscanlon is 1 vote needed! Agreed to give Senate the final vote needed, according to the sources requesting anonymity bc they didn't have permission to disclose the deal. O’Scanlon couldn't be reached for comment. TWITTER STORM!
