After an Illinois judge issued a temporary restraining order in early February preventing school districts from mandating masks, several high school students in Collinsville, Illinois, were looking forward to being in a classroom without face coverings for the first time in months.
"Students who showed up to school and refused to wear a mask could choose to go home (policy for violating dress code) or remain at school in an alternate setting to do their school work," a spokesperson for Collinsville Community Unit School District 10 told Fox News Digital.
On the first day, just two students were segregated from everyone else in the school library, but there were 14 by Tuesday, 78 by Wednesday, 49 by Thursday, and 51 by Friday. The school chose to move the maskless students to an auditorium so they could be comfortable.
