We almost can’t watch this video of a middle schooler who was locked in a school closet in Elgin, IL for not wearing a mask.
As most states do, Illinois has a law against restraint and seclusion in their schools, and gosh, golly, gee, this seems like seclusion to us.
Watch this:

Please let me out.
Awful.
Locking a middle school student up over a MASK?! Are they HIGH?!
Hey @sdu46, I hope you get sued into the ground.

Here’s another video in this same district of a kid being locked up for not wearing a mask: pic.twitter.com/VCB0WS2P3u

Same district.
Locked in a closet.
Yeah, there’s a problem here.
F this. We're in felony territory here.
These a$sholes need to be held personally accountable for their actions.
I'm talking monetary damages and prison time.

Yup.
I'm pretty sure that's false imprisonment. If so, that's a felony in a lot of places. That kid is about to get paid.

Actually, it is probably multiple fire code violations. Schools are not prisons.

Child abuse is the elixir for Democratic Party faithful
I guess it makes sense given that aborting babies has been such a key source of joy for them for decades.

OMG, I am so glad you posted school. I'm home now and have been searching that vid…blowing it up to find a name. Also, it hasn't to the best of my knowledge been reported on anywhere re: news outlets

I don’t think there is a group of professionals that came out looking worse during this pandemic than teachers.

And they have their own unions to thanks for that.
Sorry, not sorry.
