I’ve got a special need to not be associated with public education and that includes paying any property or sales tax which supports public education.

Paying taxes in Illinois is voluntary. If you choose not to pay then just leave. Otherwise, you need to pay your bills. Pretty simple.

You don’t have to pay taxes if you don’t want. You just need to move. If you choose to stay then you need to pay your bills.
Thank you, teachers unions, government and public health “experts.”
