While this ruling is welcome, it comes far too late. Not only is this ruling coming 90 DAYS after the April 6 hearing in this matter, that April hearing itself was the result of multiple rounds of hot-potato played by LA area judges. On behalf of the family at issue in this particular case, as well as for Let Them Choose, Lee Andelin has been in front of LA judges since October 2021, as have Nicole Pearson & Jess Barsotti and the Facts Law Truth Justice legal team, with actions filed on behalf of Children's Health Defense and PERK. These lawyers, in multiple different actions, have repeatedly asked for emergency relief for the children--via TROs and preliminary injunctions--to stop the predictable damage to children caused by being excluded from sports teams and extracurriculars. EVERY SINGLE JUDGE denied relief to the children, again and again, as the days and weeks ticked by, with kids excluded from LAUSD sports and afterschool activities and tutoring, which one female judge described as "extras," not really part of LAUSD's obligation to provide an education. Even in December 2021, when LAUSD voted to suspend the mandate "until Fall 2022," LAUSD *never* reinstated the children to extracurriculars and sports. So the unvaxxed LAUSD kids went back to school, but the unvaxxed were never allowed back on teams or clubs, and no one ever explained that. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE JUDGES ever ruled for the children, and instead allowed them to continue suffering while inexplicably pushing hearings farther and farther down the calendar. Had judges granted TROs, and allowed kids to remain in sports and clubs and activities while the adults argued about legalities like preemption, families and children wouldn't have suffered the damage they have. Had the LA judges responded appropriately to the numerous declarations of harm filed, the families of Granada Hills Charter and New West Charter wouldn't have found themselves in JUNE with STILL NO RELIEF, and with those schools DENYING PROM and their GRADUATION CEREMONY to seniors, not to mention physically barring kids from setting foot on campus since January. And had Judge Beckloff issued this ruling at the April 6 hearing, or even within a couple weeks after April 6, GHC and NWC kids could at least have gone to prom and to their own graduation.
