Public school students get swine flu shot without parental permission!

I posted this last year and it's one compelling reason, among all the others, to be grateful for homeschooling.

It's outrageous that this could even happen! The claims are that it was accidental, and even if it was there should have been some real safeguards to make sure that this didn't happen!!

When I go to the hospital (granted I go to a highly rated hospital) any time that I go in for anything no matter how small it is they always ask me for my name and date of birth. It can get annoying at times, especially when I was dealing with surgery and/or cancer and was going to multiple offices a day. But clearly there is good cause!
