I think we are going in the right direction. Any symbols of hate shouldn't be in our schools.

It is time these symbols of hate and dehumanization (slavery) are discarded by an informed population.

Tim Allen

Why would you want to have symbol of hate to begin with?

Jerry Cort

Who gets to decide what a hate symbol is? Are all the items in the King Tut exhibit hate symbols? He had slaves.

Steven Daniels

As long as you ban the BM bullshit, that's fine.

Some of these symbols are part of our history, I don't agree.

This is nothing more than an attempt to dumb down Oregon students. The end result of this agenda will remove many important world and national events from history. We should learn from history.

Ben Hargis

What exactly are you considering a hate symbol? And what exactly do you mean by banning? The attempt to delete history I certainly do not agree with.

David Tucker

One person's definition of a symbol of hatred can be very different from someone else's.

Pam Ferguson

What did it hurt the prior generations. They aren't teaching enough history now

Kimmy Wasatch

It depends on what and who decides is a hate symbol. Too many symbols, statues, etc are being banned or destroyed even if it is just a historical reinder. You can not change history and shouldn't ,

Steve Hughes

Government officials should not be determining hate speech. All speech, even hateful, is protected by our free speech rights. Next our social or religious group may be labeled as using hate speech.

Kimmy Wasatch

Exactly!

Johnny Mooney

Who determines what is a symbol of hate and what is something that is part of our history that should be remembered so we do not repeat mistakes. Too many sensitive and uneducated out there today.

Susan Thomason

Whose lense and values supports this? Symbols are part of history.

Tery

Who is defining "hate symbol"? I will say however, that although some of our Country's history is disturbing, it does not change the fact that it IS our history, and should not be erased......

Pennie Holiday

History will repeat itself if this attitude continues. Educate not discriminate.

Heidi Owen

We are not Nazi Germany,.. stop following Hitler's lead by trying to wipe outour history

Deborah Haney

Let's not teach the true history, so history can repeat it again.

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 doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

Janice Adair

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.

Lisa Alexander

He was a racist person who spread hate.

Jim Terry

Need I really explain

Jane CommunityMember

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.

k san

Absolutely NOT!! He was a racist extraordinaire and spread divisive speech and ideas.

Byron Barclay

Because his MO is actually deceptive & decisive!

Martie King

He is not a hero.

Linda Spaet

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.

Robert Spaet

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.

Alex GERRITY

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.

Laurie Maholland

Mr. Kirk was too controversial and not a hero.

celeste carico

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!

Gerald Wonnacott

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.

Priscilla Smith

Absolutely not!

Shannon Gamble

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.
