Imposing conditions on provision of a free service is not 'forcing'.

Also yes. The state should IMO be able to violate certain aspects of individual freedom for the sake of public health. Disease control is a social issue; an individual who refuses vaccines for common illnesses is making a choice that impacts negatively on everyone.

Uhhh, thats not a free service. All are forced to pay regardless of use. Thats not free, in fact that might be the opposite of free.

Yes, obviously.

Parents still have the choice to home school children if they don't want to abide by the public schools rules. Freedom of choice.

Free at the point of service, as the jargon goes.

Whether the government should be allowed to tax people is obviously another question, and I think this forum has probably done it to death by now.

On a sidenote... this part makes me laugh:
"Some conservatives and parents’-rights groups say such a requirement would encourage premarital sex and interfere with the way they raise their children..."

Yes... obviously any children who are given a vaccination against a cancer causing virus will become horn-dogs. And you simply cannot raise your children with moral standards if they're vaccinated.
