Today:

Attorney General Eric Schmitt @AGEricSchmitt
ICYMI: We’ve received more than 7,500 emails from concerned parents. We’ve sent 52 cease and desist letters to school districts. We will continue to fight these mask mandates and quarantine orders and enforce the law.
[….]
3:53 PM · Dec 17, 2021

We can’t wait to read them all. We have an idea.

Some of the responses:

Don’t be fooled by the zealot. #MaskUpMO #COVID19
[….]

How many emails did you receive telling you to stop trying to endanger our children

We’ve been wondering about that, too.

Not the law. You are misinterpreting a ruling and endangering kids.

He doesn’t care.

Yes, bc that’s not a feckless waste of your time & state resources. Ensuring child, teachers, staff are open & ready to get sick.

Concerned of what exactly?

ICYMI: you’re a lunatic

Thank you for protecting our freedoms. For those individuals still afraid of the virus, they can continue to mask up, vaccinate, social distance, or whatever other measures they choose fit. For the majority that aren’t afraid, business as usual!

The postman always rings twice.

Every single one.

“…ATTENTION PARENTS – Missouri Attorney General asks parents for help in identifying school districts continuing to violate the Cole County order. We encourage parents to submit violations of mask mandates or other public health orders that are null and void under the judgement for further invistigation by the AGO. Email videos, pictures, or any other documentation related to this matter to illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov

Submit Media with Proper Lighting + Horizontal Orientation…”

Well, almost.

Wearing a mask.

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

From: [….]
Date: Sat, Dec 11, 2021, 00:22
Subject: Report
To: […]illegalmandates@ago.mo.gov[…]

Child wearing an illegal face covering. Excuse it was cold .

[….]

So much for “Horizontal Orientation”.

This was forwarded to us by the sender. We’ll probably have to wait until at least December 23rd to find out if there are other submissions like this one. We suspect there are quite a few.

“What could possibly go wrong?” – probably not part of the conversation in the Missouri Attorney General’s Office when they dreamed up their anti-mask email “complaint” gimmick.

We received a response tonight from the office of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r) to 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.

RSMo § 610.023. Records of governmental bodies to be in care of custodian, duties — records may be copied but not removed, exception, procedure — denial of access, procedure.
[….]
3. Each request for access to a public record shall be acted upon as soon as possible, but in no event later than the end of the third business day following the date the request is received by the custodian of records of a public governmental body. If records are requested in a certain format, the public body shall provide the records in the requested format, if such format is available. If access to the public record is not granted immediately, the custodian shall give a detailed explanation of the cause for further delay and the place and earliest time and date that the record will be available for inspection. This period for document production may exceed three days for reasonable cause.
[….]

Just in time.

They responded:

Your records request was received by our custodian of records.

In the event they are available earlier, we will provide them as soon as they are available.

Please note that we reserve the right to close responsive records in whole or in part pursuant to law, including but not limited to §§ 610.021 and 610.035 RSMo.

Thanks,
