Illinois High School Freshman Issued One Day Suspension After ‘Politely Declining’ To Wear A Face Mask

14-year-old freshman NaTalia Urlacher received a one-day suspension and was sent home early from Fremd High School in Palatine, Illinois, for declining to wear a face mask before going inside the building on its the day of school.

“My daughter was handed a mask at the door, and she told them politely, ‘I don’t really participate in that,’” the child’s mother Sheri Urlacher told the Chicago Tribune. “They repeatedly asked her to pull the mask up over her mouth and nose, and when she politely declined, they called me.”

Although she didn’t comment on Urlacher’s case, specifically, Township High School District 211 representative Erin Homles shared that the district is “required to enforce the state of Illinois’ school mask mandate to minimize the risk of COVID virus transmission,” and that the requirement is a “matter of public safety.”

“A student’s refusal to wear a mask poses a potential threat to the safety of other students and staff as we return to full in-person instruction,” Holmes went on to say.

Well, at least she was polite.

1. It doesn't matter how polite she is.

Wear the mask.

2. Refusing a basic safety measure is inherently impolite.

To say the least. Let her stay home and get all F grades this year.

3. I politely refuse to drive sober

And politely refuse to wear a seatbelt.

4. There Is A State Mandate

It's not a voluntary participation program.
A school in Elmhurst was legitimately threatened with disacredidation because they made noise about a mask voluntary approach.
The next day(!!) they released a statement that it was just a discussion, they never intended to ignore the mandate, and announced a no exception mask policy.
At least up here in the northeast quadrant of the state, schools are taking this seriously.
Nobody asked this punk to participate. She is REQUIRED to participate.
It's not a suggestion.

5. Hopefully the school district will not back down.

If they do, there will be many other districts facing the characters 'politely' endangering the lives of everyone in their schools.

6. Looks like Sheri Urlacher will have to homeschool her daughter if she refuses to wear the mask

With the contagiousness of Delta, we will be lucky if we can do in-person school. Wearing masks might be the only thing that makes in-person classes possible. They are jeopardizing school for everyone else.

screamed about in person learning now that's what they got they still want to F that up.

8. Good.

9. Revealing her "f*$& you" attitude to classmates

She doesn’t care if they get sick and die because of her. How polite is that?

10. When I was in school many kids were sent home for violating the dress code.

I don't understand why this one is a news story.

11. Good. Maybe the suspension will save another child's life.
