The mother of a 5-year-old is urging the Supreme Court to allow her son to enroll in kindergarten while she continues fighting a legal battle for a religious exemption to New York’s mandatory vaccination requirements for students.

The mother, identified in court filings as Jane Doe, filed an emergency petition to the high court asking it to let her son, identified as C.F. in court filings, to remain enrolled in kindergarten at the Waverly School while litigation continues in federal court over whether Section 2164 of the New York Public Health Law, which contains a blanket denial of religious exemptions to vaccination mandates, violates her religious rights.
