In my opinion, if they are not vaccinated then they should wear a mask. Kids under 12 should wear a mask since they are not able to get vaccinated.

Max

Masks are for fear mongering and nothing else. Masks don't work and children don't get the virus anyway. The people who came up with this nonsense need masks made of duct tape.

Missy Marlett

I don't believe the masks make a lot of difference. My daughter works at the University Hospital and is required to wear a mask the whole time she is at work. She was recently diagnosed with COVID and she has been nowhere but home and work. I tested negative. So my vote for the mask is no!

Kids under 12 generally are not with those over 12 in the same school, for one. Why punish those who are vaccinated to cater to those who are not? For another. If you're getting vaccinated then have to mask up because of those who don't, why bother

Jennifer Hancock

As long as they are vaccinated with both doses, they should be optional.

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?

Steve Baumann

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.

Fred

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.

Fred

I don't enjoy being lied to ...

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.

Max

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

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

Max

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....
