Curious though, what are the rules for exceptions in our school system? Are unvaccinated children allowed in?
If you assume logic informs their position, you would be correct. But, as we all know ...tjohn said:
I trust that anti-vaxxers generally shun modern medicine. After all, some of the medicines we routinely take are much harder on our bodies than vaccines.

NJ has a religious and medical exception but a philosophical or moral belief is not considered a valid religious exemption. Most difficult states to get an exemption require a doctor to sign off even on religious exemption. Perhaps NJ should consider adding this.

There are 20 states that allow philosophical or moral exemptions right now.

Do I need to start making a checklist for play dates?
1) Are your children updated on all vaccines?
2) Are there guns in your home?
3) Do you have a pool?
Anything else I need to be paranoid about? At least my kid doesn't have any food allergies.

Your right to practice your religion ends at the tip of your disease-infested, non-vaccinated rugrat.
There should be no, none, zero, nada religious exemptions for public health concerns that don't also carry a requirement to school your kids separately, disclose their non-vax status, etc. As others have said- it's shameful, selfish, and totally unsupported by widely accepted science, facts, and law.
Don't like it? Move to a wide open state far away and stay away from the rational herds here.
I'm hoping we get some 'defenders' posting up. I have my shouting-down trousers on.

Afa, would you mind posting the name of the lactation consultant or at least PMing me with their name if you don't feel comfortable publicly posting it? I recently found out I'm pregnant with my first (yay!) and I want to make sure I'm not using a consultant who is against vaccinations.
