Illinois public schools will be required to return to full-time in-person learning next fall, though concerns remain about students who aren’t yet eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine.
The Illinois State Board of Education unanimously voted Wednesday to support a soon-to-be-announced mandate that “all schools must resume fully in-person learning” in the fall. State education officials are expected to formalize the move at the end of this school year.

The Democrat allies in the teachers union set have officially overplayed their hand. Parents are sick of their games and delays and selfish excuses while students languish under terrible COVID policies and pathetic education rates. The mainstream media’s wagons have not been enough to hide their perpetual circle-jerk in 2021. Before the pandemic, parents could ignore their growing concerns because the rest of society was humming along, providing a shiny veneer to distract us all. Public schools might not be the best but at least there was a place to send our children during the day to learn some things. At least we had options for extra-curricular programs and activities to fill in the gaps. At least we had politicians coming out every election cycle to tell us that just a few more dollars would solve our education crisis.
