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

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

Pat Nelson Wilson

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.

Robert Spaet

Irony: “It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights…” Charlie Kirk 2023

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.
