It doesn't help those students or our country to ignore something that's been a problem here for centuries. It's important history.

It is essential to teach our children real American history and not a sanitized version. We want them educated!

We can't ignore history no matter how uncomfortable it makes us.

Understanding people's biases and beliefs help you to better understand their decisions. To not educate about bias is, in itself, inherently bias.

Our kids need to learn about how to get along with everyone, no matter what their identity or background. And hopefully this kind of learning will help kids from every background feel welcome and included in the schools and in the community.

A lot of kids are learning the wrong side of bias from their parents, if THEY are biased or bigoted. They need the whole story in order to decide for themselves.

Bias is central to decisions you make on a daily basis. It can determine how you react to people and situations. It is extremely important to know what bias means and how your personal biases affect your judgements. It is NOT teaching people specific biases, it gives kids a tool to navigate fairly.

It amazes me how little some people know about actual history and what has happened in the past. People alive today are not responsible for past actions but they need to know so that they can understand why some are still hated. Jews, Mexicans, Blacks, Muslins??? Hated by some for what?

It teaches valuable positions about how there isn't continuity today, even though it's perceived...& things were even more divided between groups in the past than they are now.

Ummm it’s not the school's business. They need to stick to basic education. Period.

It's nonsense. They're just teaching kids to feel like victims. This topic is one to be discussed in a high school sociology class. I mean discussed, not indoctrinate.

Having a bias system share about bias will not work.

Teachers cannot replace parents in the development of their children's beliefs about how to treat people. Also, the school is wasting their time explaining the victim's perspective when anyone that's experienced bias against them already knows it sucks. Better to focus on the Pledge of Allegiance

No, not as a lens to view the world. It is an artificial construct, and not the only possible way to understand your experiences. However, I think it is fine if discussion of bias arises necessarily from the subject material, for high school studies.

I do not dispute that some issues of race occur, but I fear the governments inability to effectively teach our kids anything except the three R's...and even there we're learning that this can be relarive.

US schools do not compete with a lot of schools from other Countries Academically. Why would you trust them with teaching Bias. Do your damn Job no more.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
