Maybe someone can find a homeschooling rate for the states. This is a neat thread!

In my state, unless you are hsing for religious reasons, you still have to show proof of vaxes. Now I think it would be easy to claim you're hsing for those reasons, but still.

For once its a good thing to live in a red state.



Some of the state's don't report religious exemptions, mine doesn't. And as a homeschooler I don't have to claim an exemption, so homeschoolers aren't going to be in those #s for my state either.

Interesting thread.

I seen recently another statistical chart for each state of vaccine compliance, which I think is defined differently. This graph shows those with exemptions on file. There are many who may not have filed one way or the other.

I think it's because a lot of public schools that I know of highlight on their registration form that you need proof of vaccines OR an exemption form filled out. In our school district they go so far as to say that you can file a philosophical or religious exemption if you oppose vaccinations.

I'm not too suprised since most of southern CA is very conservative, anti-crunchy. LA and San Diego are the two largest cities in CA now and both are pretty conservative overall.

Very cool. I really would have thought OH'd be higher.. wierd too that theres absolutely NO religious exemptions reproted.

I took it to mean that they just aren't reported, not that there were none to report.
