This particular "Where's Weyermuller?" segment is not one coming FROM the Illinois Review contributor – it's ABOUT him. Mark Weyermuller, who generously donates his time and resources towards reporting on conservative events throughout the state to keep Illinois Review readers informed, is himself in the news Wednesday.
Here's what Glenbrook Dist 225 High School Board member Joel Taub said to Weyermuller Monday evening when Weyermuller attempted to address the board on the topic of COVID mask mandates: "You can wear the mask on your f****** b*lls! If you don't wear the f****** mask, you get the f*** out of here!"
As a taxpayer, Weyermuller actively challenges local councils over topics such as taxes, budgets, and public policy. This week, during his self-imposed quest to see local school and city councils lift COVID mask mandates – especially in the most rigid enforcement parts of Cook County and Chicago – Weyermuller was publicly dressed down by Taub when he resisted wearing a COVID mask while addressing the Board.
Despite pleas from parents, citizens and court rulings calling to end the mandates, Monday night the school board decided to continue mandating their students wear masks.
"I just want the kids to go mask-optional," Weyermuller told Illinois Review today. "And to get rid of people like these that are on school boards. I've never been verbally assaulted before."
Parents and community members are calling for Taub's resignation.
