SPRINGFIELD — Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Monday accused a downstate judge of “poor legal reasoning” for temporarily barring dozens of school districts from requiring students to wear masks to fight COVID-19 — a decision the governor argued “cultivates chaos for parents, families, teachers and school administrators across the state.”
“Judge Raylene Grischow’s ruling is out of step with the vast majority of legal analysis in Illinois and across the nation,” Pritzker said during an unrelated news conference.
