Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
This seems to be a violation of the first amendment freedom of speech. So now the Illinois taxpayers will get stuck with the costs of defending the ultimately winning lawsuit by a school board coupled with a liberty and freedom public support advocacy group. Of course the Democrat politicians don’t care. They’d rather virtue signal and have someone else deal with the consequences. Thereby they will remain pure and woke beacons of virtue.
