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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

Are you hoping for more snow this winter?

It would be nice to have Snow like we did when I was a kid back in the 80' we had heavy snows and maybe it would help against the sickness we all are having. It's been a long time since we had a heavy snow or bad winter but it would do the ground some good!!!

A good, heavy snow will cut down on drive by shootings. Columbia needs that.

The Ethics report was a failed frame job, and it proves his innocence.

It also exposes a lot of dishonest Representatives. Most of the House wants to keep this secret.
