Gov. Pritzker Critical of Mask Lawsuit

145 school districts, the Governor, the Illinois Department of Public Health and the and the Illinois State Board of Education are named in a class-action lawsuit this week.

 

The lawyer behind it is Tom Devore, an opponent to mask mandates and government shutdowns during the pandemic. The current suit questions the legality of the IDPH and ISBE mask mandates in schools and the exclusion of children from school who have been a close contact to someone with COVID-19. Governor JB Pritzker says Devore is being opportunistic and has no regard for public health.

 

 

The first hearing on the case will be November 5th in the 7th Circuit Court in Carlinville.
