The school board made the decision to end temporary mask mandates at the middle and elementary schools after backlash from parents, including a protest on school grounds.

Parents dont have any expertise or experience in dealing with viruses & should get No say or vote over public health policies. That's what we have actual experts for. We don't call parents when our cars break down. Public Health measures are not any parent's choice" to make. No such "right" exists!

Richard Parker

All parents that wish for their children to wear a mask may choose that option. Requiring ALL students to do so is totalitarian and is not your right to enforce. Rights go both ways. Put your child in a hazmat suit if you like, but don't expect others to be required to join your folly.

Emily Whistler

Yes, it's totalitarian to protect your offspring... Wrong. You sound like Casey Anthony.

Zaos Gonzolez

The word you both are looking for is utilitarian. The argument is deontological versus the former. Maybe you should both wait to formulate your opinion, until you can have one that’s worth having.

Zaos Gonzolez

Emily, yes. You are correct. You allusion to Casey Anthony has no merit.

Michael Moran

you clearly did not do well in history/civics if you think a single rule about masking during a pandemic is what makes up a totalitarian state.

DocRockk

Another American who has no idea what totalitarian actually entails or means. The state has every right to require masks of every student. That's just good Public Health policy. It's the opposite of totalitarianism. You're being ridiculous and hysterical

Zaos Gonzolez

The Bette decision here is school choice. Stop taxing us. Let us pay for our own schools.

Emily Whistler

Then go to a private school???

Zaos Gonzolez

That’s a fine argument ma’am. If I make that choice, will I be refunded my real estate taxes? Why should I pay for anyone elses child?

DocRockk

If you want to cough up the money for private school, that's your choice. But Public Schools will always be funded my taxes. I don't have kids and I had to pay taxes for schools my entire adult life. I don't whine and cry about it. It's the right thing to do if we want decent schools for our kids.

District administrators issued the mandates after at least 15% of each school's students and staff were out because of a positive test or being exposed to coronavirus.

it's like yo-yo dieting. masks were proved to be effective, but now it's time for the metaphorical triple cheeseburger, fries, and chocolate cake

Emily Whistler

Well over 5000 children sick with COVID-19 in the state of Missouri. You wanna regulate our uteruses but not wear a piece of cloth to protect others. Disgusting.

Zaos Gonzolez

Lol Emily, calm down. Trust me, more children are dying from cancer, domestic abuse, abortions, and car accidents. Children have a much better chance with Covid, than they do staying in public schools.

Police say the guns, one of which was used in a Kansas City-area school shooting, are practically untraceable and available to anyone.

When you get a drivers license, you should also be administered a CCW and a 9mm.

Max DeYoung

No, because blue states give "illegal aliens" drivers licenses, without even having to take a test. Then they use the drivers licenses, as proof to vote.

Max DeYoung

60 Missouri Peace Officers Associations wanted to enforce illegal Federal Firearm Laws. More than 540 Missouri Peace Officers Associations disagreed. This is an attempt to override the 2nd Amendment. It's time to punish criminals, not law abiding Americans. Lets get rid of this phony administration.

WE have our own wells- Let's get them open!!!

Belinda Kitchen

Because why should we help the Russians in any way. After all the caused this war . Biden needs to open up our pipelines here in the US!!!!

Max DeYoung

It is the common sense answer, and the humanity based answer. Joe won't do it though. He stands to lose to much personal income.

Justin Ballz

Correct. biden sucks.

Mae Paulo

We only bring in 3% of our fuel from Russia. The gas price hike is not because of the lies politicians are pushing.

So far the U.S. and EU have resisted such a ban, worrying it would drive up consumer prices too much.

We need to force oil prices upwards in order to unite behind the president's plan to ensure we all must purchase $60,000.00 electric vehicles, preferably non-American made,

Max DeYoung

Joe would demand we buy them from his blood brother, and joint businessman Xi Jinping. That way Joe gets his 10%.
