He should definitely look at the charges for each person, then take the correct path. They have a right to due process. If they violated someone's rights, then I would say no.

It's about time politicians accept consquences for their racist, false allegations! Slandering people for policital gain is abhorent and against the law. They should be prosecuted just like anyone else. And Bailey should not be using state funds to defend them!

Charles Schoene

These representatives were in no way acting on behalf of the State of Missouri or in their legislative capacity. They have no immunity and AG Bailey has no legal right to spend taxpayer funds in their defense.

Cellphones create too many distractions. They are the main reason kids are not learning the way they should.

Michael Caba

Yes, for the most part. There are a few instances where they should be allowed such as the downloading of apps that help with, say, science classes and so forth. Otherwise, they are a huge distraction.

Sussie Due

If the family needs to contact the child in an emergency, they can call the school and the school can relay the message to the child. It worked for me in the 60's and 70's, it can work now too.

Technology is such a major part of our lives that none of us can escape it. It comes with responsibility and accountability which seems to be the hardest part of the equation. No doubt they can be a distraction but safety and convenience play a bigger part in my opinion.

Because what you see on TV is the other opponent slamming the other one and it's all false . If you want the truth go to the town hall meetings. Cause there is so much fake news out now these days .

I use ad blockers and VPNs. I no longer experience any advertising.
