Seems to me that it would be prudent for Judge Grischow to issue a final ruling declaring forced masking, jab/testing, and quarantine/exclusion by schools illegal so that they can't pull this crap again.
After the Aug. 10 hearing with Mr. Devore, district 299 signed an affidavit as well. However, they are requiring masking in the classroom, for ten days, if closed contact or exposed despite the vaccine status now! That is still a form of quarantining and it’s illegal. It should still continue to be a choice since cdc and Kwane Raoul’s representative admitted it was always a choice/guideline and didn’t need to be followed!! So CPS is not following the affidavit?
What about the amendment to the Illinois Right of Conscience Act - referred to by Pritzker's rep in a hearing as the "Right of 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 Act" - that was passed last year? Has anything changed with regard to COVID as of July 1, 2022, based on that amendment passage?
According to the Act, it's illegal to force anyone to go along with any form of medical treatment in order to participate in an institution, company, etc. The amendment, as I understand it, makes an exception for anything related to COVID.
Amendment is clear as mud ... "this does not change the law but clarify" about something written 12 years ago that it did not apply to a one specific virus. Courts have previously said this law was quite clear and not in need of clarification. I think legislative intent was to extend time and make harder to use against C19 knowing that the amendment was likely legally toothless. You could probably now claim that vaccines / masks / etc are minimally effective against C19 so C19 exemption should not apply.
It seems the intent of original law was to prohibit forcing anyone to perform or receive medical treatments / medical procedures. Refusing to receive services looks to be of lesser concern of law but it is still included.
I suspect but don't know if this started in response to attempts to mandate medical personnel prescribe BC pills / perform sterilization and / or abortion services in opposition to personal / health system beliefs .
Once again, following the law was inconvenient for the emperor / state government so they ignored it until they found that was inconvenient then they attempted to half ass change it without changing it.
This whole "But does not apply to C19" intended to prevent ... so they can supposedly claim the intent of this is to prevent but need zero evidence. IL's court system is screwed up if this stuff can't get a judgement for 2 years.
As ever, a huge, heartfelt "thank you!" for doing what you do.

Exactly! My district also has the " must mask on days 6-10" after covid. This seems like forced masking to me and not sure how it's legal now.

I’d have to see the affidavit and their current policy
Please share if you get a hold of them. Thank you! I can forward what CPS policy is stating now.
Any chance you have a copy of the CPS affidavit? Word is DeVore's clients have been asking him for almost a week and he's been unresponsive.
No, I don’t.

What would change in schools?

Agreed. But also, isn’t the idea behind HCRCA that your conscience and convictions supersedes anyone else health emergency or wishes for you?

Chicago Public Schools signed an affidavit however they are still forcing children to mask for 10 days if close contact/exposed!
I would like to see CPS affidavit please. How do I get a hold of it? Thank you for your amazing reporting!
I don't have one from CPS. Will post if I get one!
Thank you. Please share with me if you find it.
