text: Yes, I am a teacher who refused to wear a mask so my district, reluctantly, fired me! I filed a law suit against the superintendent, the school district, the Illinois state board of education, and the Governor of Illinois! After 4 1/4 months of stalling, and finding out that insurance would not pay their legal fees, the district hired me back, paid my legal fees, and paid me all of my back wages! Not one other teacher stood up with me, but later a few told me they were glad I stood up for them!
