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.

You want to talk about wasting Tax Payer money, let's eliminate CRT.

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.

There wasn't such a thing as sick days in the Army. You were told to quit being a female body part and ruckup and draw fire.

The new paid sick leave requirements were another 'problem' that didn't exist and certainly didn't require more government regulation.

If you staff correctly & uphold attendance policies, there shouldn't be an issue. Unwell employees means non-productive employees. If you can afford expensive vacations, then you can take care of your employees. It's that simple.

This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.

We might get a bit closer to having fair elections without those voting who aren't even citizens.

Yes, that would be a problem that needs to be addressed ... if it actually existed.

Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.

Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.

This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.

This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.

They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.

Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!

This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.
