I don't agree with it. I don't agree when schools suspend students for not saying the pledge of allegiance. I wouldn't agree with a school in Texas forcing it's teachers to wear a MAGA hat.

I don't agree with the state coercing us into state-approved speech.

Apparently you do. I wish I were surprised
I think in this particular case the rules the state is promulgating for its employees are reasonable. My guess is they would probably pass legal muster as well. And your views on what is scientific and not scientific are not exactly the received wisdom on these matters.
