In return for getting the jab, roughly half of the student\u2019s community service requirements for graduation will be satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/2854073\/rantz-high-school-bribing-students-into-vaccines-with-graduation-credits\/\">KTTH-TV<\/a>, Chimacum Junior\/Senior High School (CJSHS), located in Port Townsend, sent a letter to students last week with ideas for how they can complete the 55 hours of community service that is required in order to receive a diploma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe school emailed students this week with ideas. Students can pick up litter, attend an online school board Zoom meeting, or write a letter to a newspaper editor,\u201d KTTH reported. \u201cBut one community service option caught a parent\u2019s attention: getting the COVID vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students who decide to get the COVID vaccine and submit proof of immunization will receive credit for 25 hours worth of community service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt CJSHS, we are providing our students with opportunities to improve their community in ways accessible to them given the circumstances of this pandemic,\u201d CJSHS Principal David Carthum told radio host Jason Rantz via email. \u201cVaccination is just one of the voluntary ways that students can choose to fulfill this requirement. We know that immunization helps protect our community, which is why we call it a service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no coercion; students can choose any of the options or suggest their own,\u201d Carthum said.<\/p>\n<p>One parent rightfully took issue with the school incentivizing a health decision that\u2019s between the student, their parents, and their doctors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many in our communities who don\u2019t look at a COVID-19 vaccine as a necessary risk for their healthy children to partake in, and this may undermine that position,\u201d the parent told KTTH. \u201cThese decisions (health decisions) are for parents and families to make alone and should not be incentivized by public entities such as the public school system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The parent believes this is a way for the school to \u201cinfluence\u201d students\u2019 decisions and push them toward getting a vaccine they would otherwise shy away from. And he\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p>This incentive encourages minors to make medical decisions they aren\u2019t mature enough to make. If a teenager wants to receive the vaccine but his or her parents object to it, the community service incentive can encourage students to falsify their parents\u2019 signatures and circumvent safeguards to get the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Schools, teachers, and administrators need to stay out of medical decisions. They don\u2019t know if a student has allergies or religious reasons for not getting the vaccine. Maybe their doctors have advised against it or they weighed the pros and cons and simply decided the vaccine wasn\u2019t for them. It doesn\u2019t matter the reason\u00a0<em>why\u00a0<\/em>a teenager does or does not get the jab. It\u2019s\u00a0<em>none\u00a0<\/em>of the school\u2019s business.<\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
