End the Mask War NOW

Timothy Christian, in Elmhurst, IL trail-blazed as a mask-optional school for the last year without any health emergency. Superintendent Matt Davidson shared a video today stating the mask optional policy will remain even after the Governor's mask mandate.

Wasting no time, ISBE Superintendent Carmen Ayala decided to target Timothy Christian for sticking to their mask optional plan by announcing the removal of their status as a recognized school:

Awake IL has FOIAs showing that ISBE has been targeting Timothy Christian and Matt Davidson for months. It is puzzling to imagine the political triangle given the IL House Speaker educates his own children at Timothy Christian.

The War on IL Children wages on.

Awake IL applauds the leadership of Timothy Christian in developing a mask optional policy for their students and family. Numerous hopeful families throughout our state stand with you in supporting freedom of choice.

Dear Dr. Ayala, Awake IL is removing your status as a trusted leader of the State Board of Education, effective immediately. Also, masks don't work when everyone wears one.
