07 SEPTEMBER 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: TABITHA KEITH, a Roosevelt High School volleyball player, uses a bullhorn to talk to students gathered at the Iowa Governor's Mansion. About 300 Des Moines Public School (DMPS) high school athletes marched through Des Moines to the Governor's Mansion Monday to protest Gov. Kim Reynolds' recent efforts to reopen schools. DMPS, the largest school district in Iowa, is suing to go to online instruction because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Governor is trying to force the district to reopen with in person instruction. The state ruled that schools using online education can't participate in extracurricular activities, including sports. The student athletes, who all wore face masks to comply with CDC guidelines, were marching to demand the ability to participate in sports despite using online instruction.      PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
