I read that only 1/4 of kids in Cook County are vaccinated. Probably even less in CPS. This mandate is flat-out “get back on the plantation” racist. Parents don’t want their kids vaccainted. But leftist freak, and failed associate professor of history, Elizabeth Todd-Breland, thinks SHE knows more than parents.
Go ahead and try to impose a mandate, see how well that goes over, when 2/3rd of kids don’t show up for class on the first day of the school.
Hands off The Children. Enough is Enough.
Kids are not at risk and don’t need some experimental shot. If you are an adult who is triple vaxxed, wearing a KN95 and still don’t feel safe in school – do us all a favor and take your cushy CTU retirement package and leave the kids alone!
This will be interesting. Currently, MMR vaccines are “mandated” for all school children.

Vaccine mandate for something that doesn’t work? Let the parents decide what is best for their child and have the teachers teach Math, Science and English. These students are NOT your children.

Let the parents speak with their tax dollars and Board members and Superintendents will realize they work for us, the taxpayers/parents, not the other way.
