Yes, masks should be required! Yes, masks should be required!

Yes, masks should be required!

we should follow guidelines set by doctors and the state. Our children haven't been vaccinated yet. I don't believe it's safe for them not to wear a mask.

if not masks, how about clear face shields.

Schools should follow the guidance provided by the State and local health depts. This guidance could vary by state.

Dianne Price

There are many children who have not gotten the covid shots!

Sheri Clarke

Because kids are just as vulnerable! They pass sicknesses to each other!!!

Foster Fell

Way the question is framed sounds like a push poll. Anyway, the virus in question is extremely opportunistic. Masking policies should reflect its deviousness and depend on day to day positivity rates and types of variants. 100's of children have died and/or have gotten the MIS disease. Testing!

Emily Gibson

With the Delta variant on the rise, we need to ensure the virus will not spread in our schools among our children, who can not be vaccinated yet. It is a little thing, wearing masks, which makes a huge difference. I taught all winter/spring with masks. Kids are resilient and flexible.

Our children shouldn't be required to wear masks anymore. The risks outweigh the benefits.

Follow the science, there are too many adverse side effects to children wearing masks all day. UNNECESSARY!!! ENOUGH!!!

Alex Lifeson

Follow the science. Kids don’t need to wear a mask. Besides, it is instilling fear in them. Let the children be free. What’s next, should we build each kid a bubble to live in? Come on man enough is enough

Tanya James Lysaught

Kids aren't even at risk for covid. To require masks for children is pure insanity.

Sussie Due

I dont know why this is even being discussed AS per news report right here on this website schools here will open in the fall WITHOUT masks for teachers or students.

Stephanie McMillan

No healthy children have died from CoViD!!!

Scott Albert

It's been proven that any "Variant" has little to no effect on children and they do not transmit.

kayte eck

Based on the fact my little one comes home with a SOAKING WET mask every day last year, I'm not sure the mask helped reduce anything. I personally feel no mask would spread less germs

tim collins

Let them be kids

Vanessa Cardui

The scientific evidence does NOT support masking. In fact, the literature shows masking can INCREASE risk of viral and bacterial infections AND can cause hypoxia. No child should sacrifice the right to breathe due to protocols that are not evidence-based.

Angie Kelly-Hagen

Unhealthy and unsanitary. Emotional abuse

Fallon Sherman

Team no masks!!

Kristina Biederman

Why are we teaching out children to be in fear while at school, the place they should feel the most safe? They do not need to wear them anywhere else. Let it be a choice!

Rick Allen

NO more masks period!!!

Gabe West

No one should wearing masks especially kids they are less affected by covid

Tarasem

Public schools are socialism. Pull your kids out and educate them yourself. However the publicly funded child care is probably worth the property taxes it costs, so it's a wash for most folks.

Fred Waren

Enough is enough...stop spreading the fear

Biden needs to open the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Paul Owen

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

Gabe West

Greg Moore

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

Nik Myles

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Steven Huillet

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Gabe West

Bide the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Greg Moore

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Loretta Jones

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

David Tucker

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Greg Moore

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Ben Hargis

Don't waste the reserves......open the keyst one pipeline, increase production and exploration in the West

John Philo

OPEN THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE!

Gabe West

Amen

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

Rob Mozz

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Sussie Due

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

k san

Why not???

Ben Hargis

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

Robert Northrup

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.

Gabe West

Good idea!
