My son has already had Covid...and had NO symptoms at all. We, his parents, have also already had Covid. I think we're subjecting kids to psychological abuse that's going to live with them forever if we keep this fear porn up. And we have the abusive media to thank for that.

The kids need to be in school. The government has hurt the kids enough.

The current policy makes no sense. Any change has to be an improvement.

My son has been sick nonstop with bacterial infections being caused by that mask according to his 3 drs. Now we can get him healthy and heal his immune system.

I hope your son gets better. My doctor did not recommend the booster for me. The children do not deserve the abuse, that the masks provide.

I feel it is making it dangerous for all concerned. There will be little protection against COVID-19.

The Board simply caved in to an authoritarian Attorney General running for Senate on a pure Trumpian philosophy. Eric Schmitt's baseless "order" just made it more comfortable for the Board to throw in the towel. It puts the students and teachers at great risk.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

We're too close to 2026 and it'll take a long time to reverse.

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
