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

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

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

Cheri Trettin

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!!!

Latterdaysaint

Yes and build more homeless shelters or provide jobs for them

Tylor Meyer

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

Just a voice Figg

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.

Jeff Sanders

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.

Joe Dillon

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!

Linda Knowlton

Fire danger and trash in the forest

jennifer stenkamp

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.

Erin E Yates

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!!!

Goth Gaga

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.

Ron Rommel

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!
