I think our kids shouldn't be learning who is right and wrong. They shouldn't be pushing kids towards one side.

The presentation is bias. Now kids are listening to republicans being bashed by the democrats that put this together. They’re to young to understand our political BS.

Judy Ostrom-Dixon

newsflash...both sides bash!

Ben Hargis

Yes because the schools are way too bias and force their liberal opinions on the children.

Political view and religion should be left out. If you want to teach them to vote use a cartoon characters to be at their level of understanding. Bulling is real and this would definitely target

Elementary school is no place for politics!

Tom Hamper

Elementary aged kids will only mimic their parents. They don't have the maturity or wisdom to understand all the issues that we"adults" make political.

Yes, from elem. school. Maybe allow it in HS. Elem. kids aren't savvy enough to form political opinions of their own, and will just regurgitate their parents' opinions. Keep politics general for them.

First, let kids be kids, do NOT start indoctinating them in grade school. Especially now when everything is politically biaised. Learn basic for a good start to life.Old fashioned 3 R's.

Missi Baldwin

Absolutely! In fact the ed system has failed terribly in all subjects! Shame on Scholastic News to present a bias, rather than what each party represents. Even more disappointing!

Skyler Spears

I think that there is a happy medium to this. As a Republican I believe that it is important to teach our kids, students, and youth about our democracy. But we shouldn’t show them the bad till jr high

I believe that issues concerning values a young mind may be influenced with should come from that young persons family not the state or government. This included politics.

Political brainwashing little children is sick and wrong. Who wants a Greta Thunberg clone for a kid? C'mon maaaaaan!!!

I think kids need to learn to be good citizens and part of that is being involved in the political process. There is already too much apathy in our country when it comes to politics.

The sooner they learn about the political system the easier it will be later in life and make them better informed on political issues

I do know people that are struggling to find housing. Rent continues to go up and it's hard to find a good place at a decent price.

I am myself, would love a place of my own but I refuse to pay over 1200$ for a 2 Bedroom. We scewed up by letting rent be increased every year. Sure we have them a percentage cap but we never said how many years in a row they can do it to a renter. So now yearly rent increase out does any raise or c

It's to damn expensive for rent and banks are stingy.

Levi Williams

Democrats raise minimum wage

Paige Williamson

It's me! We are a family that has created a cleaning company providing discounted cleaning rates for veterans and front line workers. We are out here trying to do something and it doesn't go far these days.

I have been looking for housing for over a year. I am on disability, and bring in less than $1000/month, and there is no housing available for people in my situation. I have looked all around this area, and Portland, with no luck. I need subsidized rent, and the waiting lists are between 3-5 years.
