If a viral outbreak becomes a public health concern (ex: measles outbreak in WA state that's now spread to OR and HI), it's well within a state health agency's power to limit exemptions for these vaccines. It's to protect our kids! Show Less

The only exemption should be for a Dr. diagnosed allergy... period!

Why ask

Ka San

News reports have shown that families are requesting exemptions for reasons totally unrelated to vaccines. I can't believe in this day and time that we are even debating the need for vaccinations!

Felix Pressler

If parents don't want to vaccinate their kids, they should not be allowed to attend public OR private schools!

I get the health concern but this is inching ever so close to violating someone's free will. Controlling one another is not the answer.

STOP PUSHING YOUR AGENDA 21 ON PEOPLE!!!

I truly hate nanny state laws, So if want to let your kids get sick and die, fine. But they cant go to public schools till they have their shots

Ka San

Yes, officials DO have the right to make such decisions when it affects the whole community. Those parents who don't vaccinate their kids are ignorant and their kids should not attend public schools.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
