Because I don't want kids in elementary school concerned with sex. They need to focus on learning more important subjects. A child in kindergarten dosen't need to know about oral sex, anal sex or masterbation.

Those efforts remain widely opposed by liberals and civil libertarians.

Hitler,and slave owners were also against books,and minorities/women being educated. They were more desirable. Meaning they were to dumb to know when someone was pissing on them and telling them it's raining. I guess that's why Donald Trump said he LOVES the uneducated. And, President LBJ said give

LBJ also said; “I'll have those ------- voting Democrat for the next 200 years.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson---- LBJ used people, he didn't love people.

Wasn't that long ago the liberals/socialist wanted to ban Mark Twain books due to their interpretation of 'racism'. Its not OK when they do it, not OK when 'our side' does it. Protecting your kids starts with you, not banning books.

I support efforts to remove the people. that put filth in school libraries.

Is this the land of the free or a Country controlled by a dictator called the GOP that keeps taking or attempting to take rights from certain citizens?

Max DeYoung

Joe is the dictator.

We should not rely on other jails to take care of our problems. We have a responsibility to provide the proper facilities to our superhero police force

Max

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

I would support a 10-year tax for a bond issue to build the new jail, not a new forever sales tax.

Fat Guy Outdoors

This leadership needs to resign.

Davon Argo

The need for a new jail isn’t new. County leaders have known for years it needed attention. Maybe the sheriff should’ve prioritized a jail before a multi-million dollar training facility. His budget priorities is his attempt at railroading the city’s public safety staffing and infrastructure needs.

Madison Haleigh

I'd rather we put more money to schools to prevent there from being so many people in jail in the first place. If we fund our schools and the education system, there would be less people in jail. If we funded mental health services- there would be less people committing crimes

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.

Agenda narratives always get the right amount of attention one way or another.

Harry D

We must all do our part and wear masks, only for two weeks, to flatten curve. Also, stand at least 7 feet away from each other at all times (6 feet for COVID was made up with no science so 7 feet is the new distance). Once big pharma has a vax, it will be mandatory to go to grocery store, etc.
