There needs to be accountability for school boards for their decisions.

CPS needs to learn how to obey the law. They should not be allowed to guide children, if they themselves can't follow the law.

The Laws are written by the House and the Senate. Brian Yearwood, does not write Laws, and he will soon find that out. That will be money spent, for a very good reason.

Brian Yearwood, is going to get a Civics lesson, that he should have learned in the sixth grade. Will he learn anything from this lesson? Not likely. And his sheeple will continue to dote upon him.

The CPS Administration cannot be trusted. If let off they will turn around and do it again.

Because Yearwood has an axe to grind and wants control. Look up how much money he may have gotten to push this Covid agenda...he lied last time the AG dropped the case. Schmitt needs to make sure he can’t try to reinstate the mask mandate. Go get em Schmitt!

As long as there is a chance of the child abuse to continue, then it should go to trial and stop this nonsense.

Ridiculous waste of funds and time! The Superintendent /school board should be able to make those decisions without fear of financial penalty! The wearing of mask is not a wreckless decision and I would much rather err on the side of caution in favor of teacher and student saftey!

He needs to sit his tail down and stop this foolishness. He’s making it a political platform and the school systems are trying to protect our children and those working in the school systems. Why don’t he sue the spam and robo industries she they can stop bothering us.

This frivolous lawsuit is taking precious taxpayer dollars from school districts across the state, forcing them to pay ridiculously exorbitant attorney fees to fight the attorney general's ruling. Mask mandate decisions should be left to local school districts, not state funded government officials.

He is spending too much time and resources spreading misinformation about masks while chasing after his own political aspirations. People in the workplace have a right to health and safety measures by federal law. He is using might makes right to enforce a handful of people's vanity and convenience

It's such a waste if tax payer money. The AG needs to find other ways of making a name for himself.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
