Elementary school students will be next, depending on when the FDA approves them.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Remember: <\/b><span>California already has a vaccine mandate on the books for teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Experts predict FDA approval will come some time in the winter, which means the mandate in California would likely take effect before the next fall semester.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Exemptions<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>There are going to be religious and medical exemptions, but that part of the mandate hasn\u2019t been written yet.

They say the diseases that kids are already required to get vaccinated for are more dangerous to children than COVID-19. They also say the COVID-19 survival rate for kids is 99.99%. They note that it\u2019s a violation of personal freedom to make them choose between a classroom education and the shot.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Legal Challenges<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The order hasn\u2019t been challenged in court yet, mainly because it hasn\u2019t yet been implemented.

The Communist Chinese military opened fire on them, killing hundreds and possibly thousands of people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The massacre is also known as the June 4th incident and has significant symbolic importance to today\u2019s pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, which is struggling to maintain itself as a semi-independent territory.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Pro-democracy groups organize candlelight vigils attended by tens of thousands of people to mark the anniversary of the massacre, and they\u2019ve established museums to maintain its memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For the last two years, the Chinese Communist Party has banned the outdoor vigils allegedly due to the pandemic.

The exhibit was run by a pro-democracy group known as the Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China who were also responsible for organizing the biggest Tiananmen vigils.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On September 25th, the Alliance announced they were disbanding after police accused them of being \u201c[agents] of foreign forces,\u201d and \u201cinciting subversion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Museum Targeted<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>As the investigation was ongoing, the museum <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/world\/articles\/2021-08-04\/hong-kong-museum-commemorating-1989-tiananmen-victims-reopens-online\"><span>reopened<\/span><\/a><span> in August as an online-only exhibit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Organizers were careful to say it had been crowdfunded and was operating independently of the Alliance, but it now appears China has restricted Hong Kong citizens from accessing the site.
