Make sure to hold on to your children really tightly as you walk in to your doctor’s office though.

GOOD. Now maybe the rest of these idiots will follow suit. Most people, I find, are only for “choice” and “freedom” when it doesn’t cost them any time, money, or legal hassle. Once they hear their precious snowflake will NOT be attending school until they get their damn shots and by the way, that will count as…

I was wondering that too. Was it their teachers? Other chaperone parents?
