Recently, Illinois school district 113 canceled a trip to Arizona for their girl's basketball team. Assistant Superintendent stated, "The trip “would not be aligned” with the school's “beliefs and values,” and later stated "Arizona is off-limits, at least until it’s more clear how the state’s new law, which makes it a crime to be in the country illegally, will be enforced." (This is actually an existing Federal law that Arizona has chosen to simply enforce, they did not create a new law stating it is a crime to be in the country illegally).
The Highland Park basketball team has worked hard to raise money for the trip by organizing bake sales. This is their first conference title in 26 years and are now being denied an opportunity to play. Without asking parents or taking a vote the school district has taken the matter into their own hands.
Lets' help these girl's get to Arizona so they can enjoy what they have accomplished and worked so hard for.
We, the undersigned, call on the District 113 officials to reverse their decision regarding the winter trip to Arizona for the girl's basketball team.
