Democrats Disagree.	2021-09-10	2021	2021-09	Republican	House	IL	Mary E. Miller	M001211	marymiller.house.gov	marymiller	https://marymiller.house.gov/media/press-releases	scraper	WASHINGTON - Last night, during a budget reconciliation markup, Congresswoman Mary Miller (IL-15) introduced an amendment proposing that schools must obtain parent or guardian consent before vaccinating children. “Parents should always be the ones making healthcare decisions for their own children, and believe it or not, children across our nation are being administered the vaccine without parental consent,” Miller said. “Not surprisingly, Democrats are rejecting parental rights in favor of an all-powerful government.” After Congresswoman Miller presented her amendment, Democrat leadership responded by saying that, “parents do NOT know what’s best for their kids,” and that government must “protect kids FROM their parents.” “Protecting parents’ unique ability to care for their children’s health should not be a partisan issue,” Miller said. Breitbart News reported on the markup saying that, Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) said the government knows better than parents when it comes to vaccinating children against the Chinese coronavirus. The Education and Labor Committee ultimately opposed the amendment along party lines. ###	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T20:17:01Z
