I agree. The point of contention appears to be with either the school district or the governor's office, not with the IHSA. The IHSA has merely provided guidance (not a mandate) to the schools as to what it has been told by the governor's office will comply with the governor's executive orders. Although it is under appeal, my understanding is a judge has ruled that the governor's executive orders are not in compliance with Illinois statutes. That would mean, as things presently stand, that the requirements laid out for conducting high school sports in this state are not enforceable (at least by the state). Individual school districts might choose voluntarily to adopt the requirements, and enforce the requirements, but the state cannot unless the state legislature passes a new law which is then signed by the governor.My point is that the IHSA guidelines are not preventing DeVore's children from playing sports. The school where his children attend, and which have have adopted the IHSA guidelines as a condition of engaging in sports, are preventing his children from engaging in sports unless they conform to the IHSA guidelines which the school has adopted.
