17. Is it true that a sizable amount of these non vaccinated kids go to private schools?

A guest on Stephanie Miller yesterday (Carol Burnett's daughter didn't catch her name) noted that the private "grammar school" she attended in California currently has a vaccination rate of only 87%. Wouldn't such schools be more likely to have an outbreak of measles? And what about the parents that have vaccinated? Wouldn't these parents be putting pressure on the parents not vaccinating? Maybe this national debate we are having will have unexpected push back on those not vaccinating. Money talks and if some of these private school parents start pulling kids.... or if some of the public school parents raise cain about the non vaccinated things will get interesting.

My youngest is about to graduate from high school. After sending three kids through public school I can say that the parents I know would never have let this situation of parents choosing to not vaccinate be tolerated. Our PTAs would be all over this from the school to the district all the way up the line to state authorities.
