Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s (r) anti-mask public school complaint email address: illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov

We finally received a response this afternoon from the office of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r) complying with our December 9th RSMo § 610 “Missouri Sunshine Law” request for the contents of the illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov email address set up by the Attorney General to solicit complaints about mask wearing in Missouri public schools.

That’s over 8,000 pages in four files.

It’ll take a while to go through it all.

In a quick reading through the start of the first file of email responses sent to illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov there is a very interesting mix.

Self-identified parents and school district employees seem to delight in turning in their schools and school districts. We never get out of junior high school.

There were several emails with a request to not reveal their identity because they feared some form of retaliation and/or the discontinuation of their at-will employment. Seriously. RSMo § 610 doesn’t allow for that. Guess what? All of that information is contained in the document. Pro tip: public business is public, with limited exceptions.

There were emails chastising Eric Schmitt (r) for wasting public money on this campaign publicity stunt.

There were several response from adult/porn sites confirming the sign-up of the illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov email address. Apparently some residents of Missouri have knowledge of these sorts of things.

There were parents complaining about mandatory masks and other COVID-19 protocols at their child’s parochial school. Think about that for just a second.

There will be more, with details, to follow.

An eagerness to punish public schools, cluelessness, willful ignorance, and sarcasm from Missourians. Who would have thought that possible?
