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.

No, they shouldn't!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
