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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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

Your question is a leading question? Most folks don'te embrace change easily. In the long-term it will help the North side be safe and navigable for the next several years; especially as Costco & Fred Meyer join the mix. Everyone knows congestion and traffic in Bend is exploding - suck it up.

I work at Lowe’s part time and I straight up got lost the first time. I’ve been so used to just going straight down 97 and before I knew it I was on my way to Redmond. To not be late for work I had to pull a u-turn and I’ve seen lots of people doing the same which is unsafe. There is no signage

Whoever designs these highway changes needs to go back to school. The bypass in Redmond was stupid too. And I really dislike the round abouts everywhere, especially the area coming from Sisters to Bend. I do like the artwork, but you only get a few seconds to enjoy it or have an accident.

bend already has a costco. the number of businesses that became instantly inaccessible by adding 6 miles of additional, unnecessary drive time is both disturbing and concerning. not to mention the amount of u-turning happening on a busy highway as a result.

Both my 6 year old cat and my nine Month old shepherd mix had no problem. The pup Rowdy tried to jump into the sky and play with the pretty lights.
