Stephen Bank: Home-school nonvaccinated children

Regarding the April 2 news article “Senators drop vaccine bill”: Parents who choose not to vaccinate their children but then send them to a public school should be held responsible for the outbreak of a disease that can be prevented by vaccination. They should be responsible for medical costs to the affected children and maybe even subject to lawsuits.

If they don’t get vaccinations for their children, they should definitely home-school.
