LEGAL TEAM PRESS RELEASE
PERK, CHD-CA, Jane Doe, Janet Doe v. Piedmont Unified School District
April 28, 2022
Piedmont, California – Another victory for children’s health, parental rights and medical freedom!
Children’s Health Defense, California Chapter (“CHD CA”), PERK, and two mothers took on the entire Piedmont Unified School District (“PUSD”) for illegally demanding that its students in grades kindergarten and up succumb to the COVID-19 injection or face complete expulsion from the District (as no remote learning option was provided), on the grounds that the District lacked the legal authority to impose such a mandate, violated parents’ and students’ rights to privacy and to make personal health decisions for themselves, segregated and discriminated against children, and deprived children of their constitutional right to an education, among other unlawful misconduct.
Soon after Alameda County Judge Seligman granted our Application for an Alternative Writ of Mandate and ordered the District to show why its policy should not be struck down, PUSD voted to repeal the mandate in its entirety for all students in the District. Over 100 families in the District were able to avoid forcibly enrolling their children as young as 5 years old in the clinical trials of an unapproved, Emergency Use Authorized-only injection, and to avoid the jab altogether.
Immediately thereafter, our legal team engaged in aggressive settlement negotiations with counsel for the District and, today, finally reached an agreement that the District not only repeal its illegal, dangerous mandate, but guarantee that no similar mandates will be contemplated in the future. This is a major victory not only for schoolchildren and families within this District, but throughout the State. Without the actions of CHD-CA and PERK, this horrifying policy would still be in place.
