Our 2013
Goals
We the Parents has grown over the past year
into a statewide voluntary group of parents who are motivated to
see West Virginia move forward. We have targeted the following
projects to empower and support parents in their quest for
parental rights.
|
 |
For over a decade, parents have asked
legislators for a non-medical exemption regarding
childhood vaccines for school entrance. 48 states
maintain these exemptions, most for over 50 years. WTP
will advocate via legislation for this basic parental
right. |
|
 |
In 2012, WTP filed suit against WV
DHHR regarding their authority to write laws which
mandate medical procedures; laws which carry both civil
and criminal sanction. The circuit court ruling was not
in our favor, and that case is currently being appealed
to the WV Supreme Court. |
|
 |
Is there a parental rights issue that
you'd like us to consider? Please
contact us, and we will be happy to consider how it
impacts WV parents and families. |

Did you
know that there is now a FORM to submit for a medical
exemption regarding childhood vaccine requirements in
WV? Did you also know that the local health officer
(health department) has THIRTY DAYS to provide a
response? Most parents are unaware of these changes
due to lack of public sharing, but you may download it
here. |
