School board violates open meetings law?

Sigh.

A 35-year-old man shouldn't have to spend his prime years fighting school uniforms - but the other side keeps bringing it up, so I keep fighting.

Folks in Granite City, Illinois, are outraged at public school officials' attempts to require students to wear uniforms. So school bored members decided to unleash a new weapon in their arsenal against the community.

At a recent meeting, parents and students unanimously opposed uniforms. At least one parent warned she would sue the school. So the school board decided to continue discussion of the proposal in private - behind closed doors, with no attendance by the public.

Does Illinois not have an open meetings law?

This is like when one of the school districts in my area held a private meeting to institute a year-round calendar - in violation of Kentucky's open meetings law.

I think we might be at the point where America's educrats are so terrified of facts that they can only deal with it by cowering.
