Chicago Area Park District Says Unvaxed Kids Not Allowed to Play Sports, Reverses, Apologizes
A Chicago area park district told parents in December that unvaccinated kids would not be allowed to play on district sports teams only to reverse the decision and apologize for the message.
The Pleasant Dale Park District, a Cook County park district in the southwestern Chicago suburb of Burr Ridge, sent out a message to parents saying that all children and coaches on the district’s sports teams would be required to be vaccinated.
But shortly after the message was sent, the district countermanded the mandate, saying that the original message was “premature,” West Cook News reported
The district initially claimed it was following the mandates passed down to them by Cook County officials. The district also announced that it was delaying the start of the girl’s basketball season to Jan. 24, from the original launch date of Jan. 17, to give parents more time to get their kids vaccinated. – READ MORE
