Question presented
Does a Health Department and its employees violate the United States Constitution when they disparately treat and target private Catholic Elementary and High School students by imposing a ban on children from attending the school who refuse to be vaccinated for chicken pox, due to the students’ and parents’ sincerely held religious beliefs, and in retaliation from a threat of a lawsuit?
