A lot of the emotional stress comes from the adults responsible for helping the young people through this. "Oh, you poor thing. You have it so bad. It is inconveniencing ME so bad." Get over it and help the teachers, etc., get everyone through this. Help EVERYONE be positive.

Teachers, bus drivers, custodians, administrators, food service personnel, superintendents have "gone the extra mile" to get best education possible for our children. THANKS!

Thank them for what? Causing anxiety and emotional distress for children for the last 2 years? Stripping them of social interaction and making them feel like they are the problem? Forcing ideas down their throats at a young age? Yea…no thanks. The schools have been awful…

do I thank "the schools"? For forcing masking, for constantly pushing "equity" rather than excellence in education, etc.? No. Do I thank individual teachers who are oustanding? Yes. Baker, Larwin, Larwin, Clair, Tebow, Murphy, Viles, Hutter, Lindsey, Wojtkowiak, Anderson....I thank you all!

For what? Keeping kids masked & in mental distress? Pushing CRT, DEI &SEL down their throats? Cancelling sporting events & banning spectators? Not having balls to push back against mandates that do ZERO to prevent viral spread? I'd rather thank local patriot groups for fighting against this tyranny

Thanking schools for forcing kids to wear masks when young people are least affected by covid... is disgusting and detrimental to their mental and social health!!!!!!

It is their job. I appreciate a job well done, but many of them are using COVID to work even less than they did before COVID.

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

The homeless are not residents, they are squatters!

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

We live near China Hat and the fear of fire and crime is constant. Plus the forest is being destroyed by illegal cutting of trees, garbage and toxins

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.
