How soon will we get any updates in the Breese district lawsuit? I’ve been looking around but don’t see anything.

That's terrifying too though. If that were the case when the 2025 supercovidaids pandemic hits President DeSantis will mandate bleach injections.

CaptainJuan posted:My guess is that mandates will come with full FDA approval rather than the current Emergency Use Authorization. Not that that's necessarily a good, evidence-based policy, the EUA should be sufficient, but it's politically easier. That is exactly what is being waited for. Once there is full FDA approval you can have all government employees and contractors required and a lot of private businesses will also put in requirements as well, especially if they work with government/state.

dwarf74 posted:Cairo is a special case for Downstate IL because (a) it was never a farming town, it was all about river trade; and (b) Unlike most of Downstate, Cairo is majority black. I vaguely remember something from high school about Cairo not having a good harbor, because the rivers always silted it in. And putting a railroad through was very difficult.

Bizarro Kanyon posted:Indiana University students sued IU over its vaccine mandate (no vaccine equals having to wear a mask and regular testing). Justice Amy Coney Barrett rejected their lawsuit and refused to send it to the full court. I’m kind of surprised that a lawsuit came out of IU of all places. I’d think opposition to that policy must be a fairly niche opinion on the campus. I’d expect that from a place like Purdue or something. This whole mask mandate stuff is interesting, I haven’t been following it very much since I don’t have a kid in school and I’m not a teacher. I imagine the boards voting against it are just interested in survival, even if they end up relenting to get funding. If you didn’t vote against masks in the first votes then you’ll be voted out next time around. In my school district, a handful of challengers swept the board elections during the most recent elections. I think it was because they were the only people to send out flyers; they just win by default because they have a monopoly on people’s thoughts. So all you have to do is send out a flyer with a gun on it and say “the previous guy voted for masks!” and you just win.

They have had some open Nazi problems at various city events (most notably the farmers market) which they are part unwilling and unable to solve. You had Vauhxx Booker attempted lynching that was handled about as badly as possible and they just charged him with a felony at his own attempted lynching. While the city and a lot of the campus has always leaned a little more hippy/lefty that has changed a lot in the last decade as you see the effects of Indiana growing more conservative in general and a lot of the older residents/faculty retire and/or move. Also there has always been a pretty sizable and frankly disgusting Young Republican group at IU, which is where I assume it came from.

As a resident of Bloomington IL I was really confused for a minute why I hadn't heard about this in the local media at all. Though we are the birthplace of the founder of the drat American nazi party soooo we've got some nazi poo poo to figure out, too.

Nash posted:https://southernillinoisnow.com/202...t-mask-mandate/ I really wonder what will happen if the schools don't back down. Like, are the kids just supposed to go however far away to another school if they lose their accreditation? Like any school has the capacity to take on more kids. It really makes me sick how lovely these schools are being by being so openly defiant. At least Effingham was smart enough to mandate them, even if it was only for fear of lawsuits.

They would shut down if they could not find the funding. Then that money would be used to bus students to new districts. It would completely overwhelm the other schools but that would be figured out at that time. If they somehow found the funding, they could continue running but no one would recognize the students’ diplomas or transcripts. If any student wanted to go to college, they would have to take a GED to prove their level of education.

midwest ink posted:I see a poo poo ton of Darren Bailey signs around but surely that can't happen....right? It all depends on if Bailey splits the crazy vote with Rabine while someone like Rodney Davis gets the moderate Rs and wins. If Bailey can keep the crazy vote, get Rabine to drop out and somehow pull in the moderate suburban Rs, he is the top front runner. But if I was another crazy R running, I would be trying to peel off the crazy R votes in the north by constantly bringing up him trying to kick Chicago out.

It would completely overwhelm the other schools but that would be figured out at that time. Well depending on the district they would likely split it between several different districts to help with the overflow and transportation. But it is basically the nuclear option. If you lose a school district it is normally the end of a community at large since most parents won’t deal with having a long commute for their children, especially in rural areas. In Indiana for example places that lost their school district basically shrank to almost nothing in a matter of 3 years. I had a friend when I was younger in a town that the district got absorbed into another. It went from around a 100-150 people to 2 families and a lot of empty storefronts and houses almost over night. The commute to the school was 40 minutes each way. Only reason why her family didn’t leave was she ended up graduating early and her father’s job was a 15 minute trip. It was a trip hanging out there at night because it was basically Silent Hill. An entire town completely empty with a lonely road running through the middle of it. We’d hang out, listen to music and do whatever we wanted. There was no police and no one to call the cops either.

Fundamentalists want to close down public schools and force everyone into religious schools anyway. So this is working great for them.

The X-man cometh posted:Fundamentalists want to close down public schools and force everyone into religious schools anyway. So this is working great for them. Problem is with most of those they lack accreditation. So they are basically worthless. The Chicagoland area is the exception since you have a bunch of wealthy people sending their kids to them and are expecting superior education for the price. It is also why the religion part of a lot of them is little to none.

The Springfield Diocese of the Catholic Church made masks mandatory in their schools which surprised me since Paprocki is a dick about so many other things. (I believe several schools in the diocese are still ignoring the rules because they do not want to tick people off) A bunch of the homeschool/religious schools in Southern Illinois are not accredited and hire non-teachers to teach there. It will be fun when those kids have to take a GED to go to college.

It had better be Jehovah’s Witnesses or I am calling bullshit. Local Rep Blaine Wilhour is going around telling school boards that they do not have to listen to ISBE because ISBE does not have the ability to put schools on probation except for the annual review. He even went to the ISBE meeting, asked foolish questions and got the answers but is claiming that “the heat is on ISBE and they cannot handle the pressure so keep standing up to them.” Happily, my hometown just changed direction and masks are now required. My wife’s home town stood by their mask requirement (they voted to have masks even before the mandate). Also, my school has not had an issue with masks at all. Now, if only the school my daughters go to would do the same.
