Most public schools in Missouri are having in-person classes to some degree, often in settings where social distancing is not possible. Teachers argue they should be a higher priority given their risk of exposure in crowded classrooms. Show Less

They are the most important part in all of our children's lives when it comes to their education. And I'm sick and tried of teachers getting the short end of the stick all the time. They are very much under appreciated way to much. It's time to put them first for once for god sake.

They are essential workers and the amount of people they come in contact with everyday could really spread the virus quickly, or increase the number of people/teachers needing to quarantine thus also leading to school teacher shortages.

Children are the least likely to transmit the Covid-19 virus. The teachers are no more essential than those at Taco Bell or Mc Donald's.

Missouri leaders say the state's plan is meant to help the most vulnerable -- people over age 65 and those with certain health conditions -- by giving them priority. Teachers are next in line after those groups. Show Less

All workers right now should be able to get the vaccine. Teachers shouldn't take priority over everyone else who's working in a physical sense right now. Factory workers, grocery store workers, cab drivers, custodians, teachers, & all workers should get it at the same time.

I do not have faith in the vaccine

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.

Chris Macy

Trump & his evil minions are shredding the constitution

Steve Baumann

Please provide specifics. Never mind, we already know you can't.

Max

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.

Jenny Mummert

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.

Steve Baumann

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.

Republicans are trying to democracy.

Laura Cochran

Trump needs to go! Save Democracy!

Max

We have a Federation, Presidential system, Constitutional republic, Federal republic. We do not have a democracy, and we have never had a democracy. Go to school, and learn.

Max

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

John Rinck

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.

Tina Mann

To protect the US Constitution and our Democracy from hostile takeover by our current administration.

Steve Baumann

He was ELECTED and stop whining, we put up with far worse, it's time to fix it.

Max

There is no democracy in the USA. Educate yourself.

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

Fat Guy Outdoors

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.

Steve Baumann

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

Toasty

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.

Richard Winkel

I don't think these people know what they're protesting.

Zaos Gonzolez

Donald will be your King whether you like it or not.

Max

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