State government can use police powers to ban certain foods with certain ingredients in the name of public health and safety , but not to protect children? Raylee’s Law would have prevented a guardian who has a current, active CPS investigation from removing their child from school (public view). That’s it. And only if the investigation was initiated from a mandatory reporter in compliance with state law and only if the report was initiated before intent to transfer to another institution or manner of education was declared. Last night’s amendments were simply poison pills meant to kill the bill and prevent a vote on the true measure. Disappointing.

West Virginia is "flying blind" is right. Once heralded as a state with high rates of immunizations of school-aged kids and strong vaccination policies, #WV now has no data available. As measles, the most contagious disease in the world, spreads across the country.
