The temporary injunction was lifted after the district stopped offering deferrals to pregnant students.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals voted on Saturday to lift a temporary injunction that it had placed on the San Diego Unified School District’s student COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

“We take seriously our responsibility to create a safe environment for our students and staff,” said San Diego Unified Board President Richard Barrera in a statement. “This latest decision recognizes that we have both the responsibility to protect students and the authority to do so by implementing a vaccine mandate, which is really our best hope as a country to get this deadly disease under control.

The district insists it’s a necessary step to ensure students and staff are protected against the coronavirus, but critics say it’s an infringement on personal liberty. A 16-year-old junior at Scripps Ranch High School sued the district in October, alleging that the mandate violated her religious beliefs. Namely, she stated that, as a Christian, she is unwilling to take vaccines developed using aborted fetal cells.

The plaintiff objected to the district’s vaccine mandate allowing for secular, medical exemptions but not religious ones. And the appeals court voted to temporarily halt the mandate on Nov. 28 as long as the district was allowing pregnant students to defer vaccination.

Mural depicting Ahmaud Arbery is defaced in San DiegoThe artist who painted the mural says he plans to restore the artwork on University Avenue in the North Park neighborhood. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ San Francisco has become very anti-black. And yes I will say it. The majority of the dislike comes from the Asian community. But no one ever reports on this. Why is that? Of all the graffiti in San Diego, this is the one that makes a headline? How about an in-depth story about the people that are defacing our cities.
