>I'm interested to learn about the case law about this as it pertains to the constitutionality of disallowing a religious exemption. It has held up in court in Mississippi http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/storyline/wp/2015/01/30/mississippi-yes-mississippi-has-the-nations-best-child-vaccination-rate-heres-why/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/storyline/wp/2015/01/30/m... >But attempts to add a religious excuse there have failed. In 1979, the Mississippi Supreme Court wrote a strongly worded defense of the state program, “Is it mandated by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution that innocent children, too young to decide for themselves, are to be denied the protection against crippling and death that immunization provides because of a religious belief adhered to by a parent or parents?” Religious practices aren't covered by the Constitution once they start causing death to others. Human sacrifice may be a religious practice but it is one that wouldn't be allowed to be practiced.
