Shame on you @JBPritzker. You used our football program as an example in your press conference to justify cancelling/postponing high school athletics. We have a higher percentage of kids at our school working out on a daily basis than any school in the downstate.
We have followed the guidelines laid out. We have worn masks, social distanced, cleaned equipment, moved equipment to be more safe and efficient. We HAVE NOT HAD ONE kid in our program test positive. But you know who we are, and so do others.
So, you exploit our program on your daily briefing to justify your decision. It’s sickening and shameful. I will defend our program and how we have done things during this pandemic to anyone, anytime. Do not make our program part of your agenda. We do not deserve to be there.
Our kids do not deserve that stigma. Nor does our town. Nor our school. That comment was irresponsible, disgusting, and lacked great integrity. We speak constantly about integrity to our kids. You simply showed none and it’s appalling.
