It's very important to cover major acts of genocide and war, like the Holocaust. It not only educates students about the factors that led up to these events, but also their effects and how to avoid the same horrors in the future. Show Less

This is part of the history of the world. It happened and it should not be hidden from future generations. Hopefully it will never happen again, but there are governments that continue this Trend

Kim Varner

I personally knew a survivor. She was an amazing lady. She said if we don’t learn from our past then those lessons have to be relearned. Basically if you don’t learn from the past you are doomed to r.

Kiefer Davis

We are doomed to history repeating itself if it's not taught.

Teresa Bolt Young

It's about time to teach real history, not politically correct junk.

Robin Grippi

Teach students about the Holocaust and other historical events. Make sure all sides are taught and discussed not just what the teacher wants to.

Lani Shobe

kids need to know how awful submitting to a carismatic speaker or peer pressure can be

Pam W

We have to many Liberal teachers teaching Liberal/Socialist ways and children need to be taught history of America which includes the Holocaust.

Teresa Rodriguez

History, good or bad is important for kids to learn to know how we got here today. Learn from mistakes and repeat what works.

F Hoskins

History is important to hopefully prevent it from happening in the future

Jodi Dwyer

All history is important both American history and world history.

Steve Scarich

The Holocaust is an unfathomable comment on what humans are capable of. We should never forget that it was, and is, possible.

Juanita Speirs

It's important to understand the rise of fascism and the lead up to WWII. Also to have a sense of what can happen when extreme nationalism rules the minds of those in power.

Doug Paris

It is part of history that we should never forget

Brandy Barr

Yes because the liberals right now have no clue about it and kids need to learn all of our history, good and bad!!

Judy Brown

This was one of the Western World’s greatest tragedies.

Matt Stickler

We are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past, if we do not know the mistakes of the past. I can not believe that the holocaust and ALL history is not being taught in our schools!!!

Nate Watkins

You need to learn from history’s mistakes. If you pretend it didn’t happen, it doesn’t make it go away. Learn from our past to prevent the same from happening in our future

meridith french

please tell me why this isn't a requirement for every student. world history, American history are important for every informed vote!

Judy Brown

This has happened so very many times in the past and still goes on today.

John Driscoll

Yes, it an example of the adverse effects that result when the National Social Party imposed its progressive ideas to the detriment of individuals

schools are negligent teaching all significant aspects of world & US history, pushing "liberal" agenda.

Katherine Rhodes Desenberg

I feel it would be a great thing to learn. It has both sadness and happiness. It is a piece of history that should be told , but not mandated. It really gets your heart if you visit a Holocaust

Daniel Kennedy

If the state were to teach equal & accurate history, like what France did to Germany, how black slaves were given by tribal leaders, malcom x, etc., I would support this. Half history is NOT teaching

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!

Kayla Sulak

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.

Richard Williams

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.

Joanna Lee

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.

Shane Murray

The homeless have trashed the forest out there. It makes me sick

Greg Deadbolt Leach

Time to move these people to the Attorneys and Judges front lawns!!!

Karen Thrower

The China Hat area has been badly damaged and disrespected by campers.

Jeannie H.

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

Nancy

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!

Lynn Marie Leehmann

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.

Brad Aimone

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?

Nancy Roquero

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.

Lisa York

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...

Debbie Boyd

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!

Pam

We need to ensure that the lands are managed for the enjoyment/needs of all peoples, not a select few

pamcuny

I worry every year WHO is in the woods starting fires, whether deliberate or unintentional consequences…

Jeff Sanders

I live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

Latterdaysaint

There needs to be more homeless shelters in the city!

Kim Kahl

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.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

steven

I just heard the recording. He lied about lying. Gotta go.

David Kline

Sad to see this happen.

Susan Kate Mayer

Good job DA! Glad someone is doing their job

Ceiling Cat9001

Recall him.

Michael Hickey

Why is he still in this position, come on Deschutes Co. This is pathetic.

Laura Wattenbarger

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

Anne King

If he can't be honest about such a basic thing as his education, he can't be trusted with Deschutes County's safety! What else has he lied about? He should resign!

SunnySunshinestein

He needs to resign.
