In response to a statewide school walkout to protest California’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for schools, dozens of parents and students in Southern California rallied in front of the Bonita Unified School District building in San Dimas on Oct. 18.
Despite the rain, parents arrived as early as 8 a.m., holding up signs with slogans such as “My Child My Choice,” “My kids won’t be part of your science experiment,” and “Don’t mandate uncertainty.”
