One of the fathers commented on a Facebook post and said: “The people on the school board are my friends and neighbors. The teachers, students, faculty, parents etc are my friends and neighbors. To take the focus off where these mandates came from and route them to our local schools isn’t fair. Our board voted no mask. until half the students signed a petition saying they would wear the masks if it made life even a little more normal. If you want to be mad, be mad at the ISBE which was appointed by JB pritzker who finally punished your children enough to get them to succumb to their wishes.”
