Editorial: School mask mandate raises question about limits of power – Champaign News-Gazette*

"The punishment of schoolchildren for the dissenting positions of adult school board members is so far out of proportion that they are difficult to take seriously. Yet Pritzker’s power to make life miserable for those districts that cross him is immense. That’s why his embrace of what amounts to a nuclear option is disturbing, whether it is well grounded in law or just an over-the-top threat made to get his way."

What kind of people threaten to punish children for decisions of adults?
Pritzker is holding our children hostage to promote his political agenda. Pure evil.

Seriously folks. Just like the shootings in Cook County. There is no limits to any politicians power without some type of enforcement. There is no recourse to anyone unless the voters make a stand. Not going to happen now. Gov has proven they have all the power they need. No court in IL will take them on. The courts are in as deep as the politicians. Vote with your feet.
