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.

Do you agree with the message of the weekend's No Kings protests?

They don't want Kings, they want their authoritarianism back, which is what they didn't get when their failed appointed candidate who never got a single primary vote, was attempted to be installed as their continued fascist leader.

Millions protested, proving that there are No Kings in the USA. Thank you for protecting our President Donald J. Trump. We appreciate that so very, very much. Donald also thanks you. Bless all of your little hearts.

The 2025 document, which took years to create, says it all. We are losing the rule of law and our rights under this administration. I believe Trump is a puppet for the far right conservatives who want to alter or destroy our democracy.

We want to fix what was broken by Obama. The Biden era was horrific for our country, it stuns me anyone can condone that, much less think Kamala is qualified for squat.

Trump won the popular vote. That's democracy. LOL He also won all six swing states, and 95% of the counties in the USA.

Trump and his regime are breaking Constitutional rules like they're trying to set a record. They've set one. Most corrupt group of people in the history of America.

The only thing being protested here is Trump's landslide victory- spoiled children throwing fits, because they didn't get their way.

I just take witness to who join these protests. I know very soon the majority will die of old age, the rest are lazy and allergic to responsibility and accountability. So they will tear each other apart. Let them expose themselves.

These people are progressive socialist aka communist. Also anti semitism seems to run deep with them. Some have laughed and joked about the death of Charlie Kirk, many of these people are flat out evil. Others, nothing more than useful idiots.I can never agree with them. The represent nothing good

Where were these 'no kings' protests during the Obama/Biden admin? There was fascism and borderline dictatorship policies being pushed (green new deal, electric car mandates, gun confiscations, suppression of free speech, etc) and silence. Trump is not a king, so stop acting like a serf.

Donald is more powerful than a King, because he was elected, in a massive landslide vote, that was not fixed.
