Ignoring the impact of race and racism in history doesn't make it go away; it just makes you ignorant.

Letitia DenHartog

I believe today's high school students can handle the information and, hopefully, it will affect their leadership for the future.

Todays high school students are the weakest, most self centered, most brain washed students ever. Most can't maintain a thought for more than ten seconds.

Holly Page Frazee

If you had a history class, you know how terrible the US treated other races and ethnicities. The only difference is a lot of things were left out, like the Oklahoma massacre. Of course it affected our laws & institutions. This is not a new concept.

Teachers have been teaching US History without the use of Critical Race Theory and they can continue to teach without it.

This continual focus on race is taking us back to a segregated, dark, racist place. It needs to stop.

Max

It's part of the Democratic plan to maintain hate and racism, thereby keeping the slaves on the welfare plantation. They don't mind putting white people on the plantation either, as long as they have a plantation, where hate and discontent can be maintained.

Will Mason

They are teaching children to hate one another.

Max

Harry is being sarcastic. He agrees with you. Lighten up.

Russ Burton

its promoting racism

Marisa Hagler

We are teaching children they are oppressed or oppressors based solely on skin color. That is the definition of racism. This country is going backwards with CRT and promoting hate and racism against white people mind blowing madness!

Max

Anyone caught teaching this crap, should be treated as a domestic terrorist and exiled from our nation.

William

Because it is a racist and goes against the fundamentals of equality.

Your question is way too generic. To a degree that that renders it pointless.

Eric Smith

Kehoe is ok, and I mean just ok. Unfortunately, Missouri has now had two weak governors back-to-back.

Toasty

Is he Tim Waltz level incompetence? No, but with a republican majority, he could do better. Listen to The Eagle every morning and Randy will give you all the details.

Steve Sargent

He rammed through legislation reversing laws enacted via the ballot box. This LBJ wannabe needs impeached or voted out into obscurity

Lisa Harter Kerns

Public schools need funded

Ed Smith

Allowing gambling on sports, while ACL, relocation and retirement occur in that same instance sounds premeditated. Reversing voter decisions is communist! And, have car dealers started getting their commission on the property tax collections, yet?

Danny Bowling

No income tax doesnt work check all the states that tried it. RESCT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!

John Scherer

Killing the rural public schools. Promoting the St. Louis County private school agenda. Where is the accountability for private schools supported with public money?

Vancie Brown

Nothing is getting done

Bruce Russell

Governors tax policies are misguided. Capital Gains and income tax elimination will shift the tax burden to lower and middle income folks. Saying this is to attract new business is a weak argument.

Tom Maxwell

He is screwing over the average Missourian to give himself and other rich people a tax break.

Robert Rasmussen

He's continued Missouri's race to the bottom with Texas and Florida when it comes to this culture war bull, his proposition to eliminate income tax is fake populist pandering, in reality it's a rug pull on the poor and a handout for the rich.

John Shadwick

His tax plan is a blatant wealth transfer. A sales tax increase disproportionally harms lower income individuals.

Madison Haleigh

Because he hasn't done anything to help people get affordable housing or access to healthcare. He takes money from big companies to build data centers.
