A group of high school students in the Chicago area walked out of class Monday after being told they had to wear masks to attend class.
Libertyville High School students who refused to wear masks were told they had to stay in the gym or go home.
"For two years, we have been living under mandates," Libertyville parent Socrates Vela told Fox News. "My wife and I did not serve in the Army so 20 years later, Illinois bureaucrats could strip our children's rights." The district said the mask mandate has allowed both schools to remain open for in-person learning and extracurricular activities.
Judge Grischow ruled Friday that the Democratic governor had overstepped his authority in an emergency order that had required students and staff to wear face coverings. She nixed other orders too, including one mandating vaccinations for school employees.
