Summary
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey issued executive orders eliminating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives in state-run institutions and introducing religious exemptions to school vaccination requirements.
Morrisey claimed DEI initiatives foster “preferential treatment” and referenced the 2023 Supreme Court decision ending affirmative action.
The vaccine exemption policy overturns one of the nation’s strictest vaccination rules, which had historically maintained high rates.
Public health experts warn the change could threaten immunity levels and worsen health outcomes in a state already struggling with poor health metrics.
I shouldn’t be surprised given the fact that it’s West Virginia. I can’t wait for the day with the government there shuts down because the next super flu has reaped a bloody scythe through it.
You’re wishing people died? Real class act Lemmy shit.
I just hope they’re denied disaster aid when it happens, but it won’t be because at that time they’ll just it just for being a red, anti-woke sister-fucking state.
