Florida Attorney General threatens catholic schools over vaccine mandate policy, says accept exemptions or lose funding

• Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has urged Catholic schools across the state to recognise religious exemptions from mandatory vaccinations, warning that failure to do so could put their access to state-funded education voucher programmes at risk.
• In a letter sent to the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops on Friday, Uthmeier argued that Catholic doctrine does not prevent schools from accepting religious vaccine exemptions.
• He said schools receiving public scholarship funds should comply with Florida's exemption laws.
