Illinois Taxpaypers--

Never forget that kids & teens asked their school boards to stop requiring 😷s - and were ignored.

"I miss seeing others’ faces, & shudder to imagine that my fellow classmates might be as lonely as I am." Student in @CUSD200

Another teen, this one in @barrington220, spoke angrily & passionately at a public meeting:

"My and countless others’ words have gone unheard for two years. Our cries for help have gone unseen."

Also recall that many Chicagoland districts - like @Hinsdale86 - not only carried out the governor's illegal order, but enforced it unapologetically, with techniques reminiscent of a dystopian novel or totalitarian regime

Another example: Superintendent of @ETHSWildkits delivering panicked announcements that included , fear-driven messages like this one:

In Normal, Illinois #irony, a high school principal told parents & students, "We cannot allow anyone to walk through our halls without a face mask."

Unmasked person = unsafe, dangerous person

This one from the Illinois Math & Science Academy @IMSA_ #irony-- which was slavishly devoted to all things Covidian -- takes the cake.

Very risky situation, as you can see.

Then there's the time principal of York High School in Elmhurst caught wind of a planned mask rebellion and quelled it right-quick by promising students would face "restrictions" & "limited access to District buildings" if they didn't comply.

Ridiculous.

This drawing ⬇️ by an 8th grade boy in Chicagoland says it all

Kids were suffering, and few school board members and district or school admins stood against it.

Masks were socially and psychologically harmful, but coerced testing & vaccination, along with illegal quarantines, were arguably even worse.

To date, I know of only one Illinois superintendent or Head of School who has publicly apologized.

Don't let anyone tell you "we didn't know" or that the forced covering of the face as a condition of in-person school was NBD.

We knew, and it was (and is) a VBD (very big deal).

History suggests that many (if not most) adult participants & bystanders who were enforcers of and in-person witnesses of this charade in schools will never able to admit that their actions were both damaging and wrong.

Illinois school board elections are coming.

IMO, any incumbent who did not speak out against the harms that were being exacted against school kids in the name of "covid," deserves ZERO votes.

Forgiveness in response to genuine apologies? Yes.

Another term of service? Nope.

P.S. No, I'm not just blowing smoke about the social-psychological harms of masking -- which will continue to be documented as we get farther from The Nightmare.

My friend @SRLucie92 is right.

There WERE "downstate" public school boards who stood against the Governor's bully tactics.

So any excuses Chicagoland boards proffer for their own cowardice & impotence are weak, at best.
