Schools should never have been closed. This whole thing has been a political tragedy to prove government has the power to make us bend our knees to them.

Mask mandate needs to fully stop in every work place. Social distancing as well. Enough is enough. We have our right, to have our free right to choose for our self's back!

Comments on other side are comical. Claims they are relying on "experts", but they lack critical thinking... never asking for the science used for 6' distancing, and ignore the Oxford/Harvard experts saying 3' is all that is necessary for school. They ignore real world examples. Ignore the harm.

The science is clear - 6' distancing in schools is not necessary, which is why Europe goes by 1m (3.2'). 6' prevents schools from having more than 1/3rd capacity/instruction, & kids from even remotely normal social interaction. READ THE SCIENCE: https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/

And with masks, people are allowed to cram into airplanes with 6", rather than 6' distancing, with different "cohorts" every time... but kids can't be allowed 3' apart? More science for those that care about it.... Harvard suggesting 3': https://dailyvoice.com/massachusetts/worcester/school

Kids are already in masks that they don't need to be in!! They don't need to social distance too. There is no science for them to be 6 feel apart or even 3 feet apart! Kids need to be kids! They all need to be on school full time! If teachers are vaccinated why do kids have to wear masks?

There should not be a mandatory amount. Let the huggers be huggers! Take away physical contact and just makes people more depressed

Have we lost our collective minds?? Do you really think the virus knows the difference between 3 or 6 feet? Apparently it DOES know that when you sit down to eat it's not allowed to infect others when you take off your mask. We have become a dumbed down society.

No since there are some parents that are sending their kids to school when they have a positive test.

Judi, how big of a problem is that? The science is saying that it is not a statistically relevant issue? Because the most infinitesimally small risk may be possible, you would hurt kids? The kids are not at even remotely significant risk. Teachers are immunized. Concerned? Stay home.

We need to continue following CDC guidelines or we will , again, make matters worse. To keep schools open, follow the CDC guidelines. When they change, we can change. We shouldn't try to be "smarter" than the experts.

So, do you still oppose the reduction now that the CDC has come out concluding that 3' is adequate?

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.
