A group of anti-vaccine and anti-vaccine mandate activists protested National Walk to School Day in Beverly Hills on Oct. 6. Protesters followed Mayor Robert Wunderlich from the Civic Center to Hawthorne Elementary School, engaging in heated exchanges with parents and picketing outside the school. The incident left many children shaken and prompted staff and administrators to scrap plans for the event.

Hawthorne Elementary prides itself on its monthly Walk to School Day organized by the Parent Teacher Association that draws scores of parents and children. (Protesters Oppose Vaccine continues on page 11)
