Our families have gone all summer with no real issues and no need to wear masks but as soon as school is getting ready to start mask mandates begin again. This is unhealthy for our children and their ability to learn, grow, and live without fear. The mask mandates in schools is absolutely political and there is no reason for it! Teachers, staff, parents and students should have a right to choose. If the choice is to wear a mask, then wear one, if the choice is to get vaccinated, then get vaccinated; we live in America and we have built our country based on just that, the freedom of choice. I choose to live free, I choose that for all Americans, unfortunately our Illinois Representatives have not chosen freedom of choice but they can and should. We have to stand together, as free Americans to make a change and regain our rights as free Americans, as free Illinoisans. Please sign the petition to make that change and pass it on to friends and family that agree and want the children in their lives to live in a free America. Our children should be allowed to have a choice. I choose freedom, I condemn fear, I love this country and my children and want them to go to school breathing freely. Please sign, this choice is yours!
