California has announced that students attending school in person will be required to receive a COVID-19 vaccination once the FDA approves them for children younger than 11.
This news hasn't sat well with some parents who have protested outside school board meetings regarding the state making the COVID-19 vaccination a requirement for their kids.
Some signs read "They are not your kids," and another read "I won't co-parent with the government." So during his opening monologue on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host Jimmy Kimmel decided to chime in the latest COVID news over these protests.
Kimmel wanted to remind those protesting that schools have always required vaccinations for kids to attend.
"We've been requiring kids to get vaccinations to go to school for 150 years," Kimmel joked. Furthermore, the comedian went on to take a jab at the parents considering homeschooling their kids as a result of this requirement.
"If you're not bright enough to understand that vaccines are safe, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're not bright enough to teach them geometry either," Kimmel said.
