A Confluence of Coercion in Texas State Education

The City of Austin:

State health authorities require that all school children must be vaccinated against certain childhood diseases before they are permitted to enter school.

Texas Education Code, Chapter 25:

§ 25.085. COMPULSORY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. (a) A child who is required to attend school under this section shall attend school each school day for the entire period the program of instruction is provided.
(b) Unless specifically exempted by Section 25.086, a child who is at least six years of age, or who is younger than six years of age and has previously been enrolled in first grade, and who has not yet reached the child's 18th birthday shall attend school.
(c) On enrollment in prekindergarten or kindergarten, a child shall attend school.
(e) A person who voluntarily enrolls in school or voluntarily attends school after the person's 18th birthday shall attend school each school day for the entire period the program of instruction is offered.

If you wanted, I have little doubt you'd find more instances where the State of Texas has set up other laws ready to trap those forced in its direction.
