Ed Markey: “These provisions are unwise and unwarranted.”

American children and their families deserve robust evidence-based immunization recommendations that are rooted in science.

Every day this Executive Order remains in effect, more children go without the vaccines that would protect them.

We urge the Department to withdraw this proposed rule, ensure that the federal government upholds the civil rights of all students, and work to ensure all students can attend schools that are not segregated.

While the rule claims to offer ‘flexibility’ in desegregation compliance efforts, the Administration’s actions reveal that its goal is to throw away the umbrella, not find a raincoat instead.
