They are the most important part in all of our children's lives when it comes to their education. And I'm sick and tried of teachers getting the short end of the stick all the time. They are very much under appreciated way to much. It's time to put them first for once for god sake.

They are essential workers and the amount of people they come in contact with everyday could really spread the virus quickly, or increase the number of people/teachers needing to quarantine thus also leading to school teacher shortages.

Children are the least likely to transmit the Covid-19 virus. The teachers are no more essential than those at Taco Bell or Mc Donald's.

Missouri leaders say the state's plan is meant to help the most vulnerable -- people over age 65 and those with certain health conditions -- by giving them priority. Teachers are next in line after those groups. Show Less

All workers right now should be able to get the vaccine. Teachers shouldn't take priority over everyone else who's working in a physical sense right now. Factory workers, grocery store workers, cab drivers, custodians, teachers, & all workers should get it at the same time.

I do not have faith in the vaccine

As Mizzou learned the hard way, campus protests can be very bad for the institution of higher learning. Police and even the National Guard should be used to restore order and make it safe for minorities (e.g., Jewish students) to attend class. The left has taken over higher ed, you see results. FJB

Max DeYoung

Harry, your reply to me is true, and accurate, but a peaceful protest is legal.

Bill Douglas

Start holding the alumni accountable who use the state taxpayer dollars in the form of their state government salaries to donate and buy tickets to athletic programs of these universities. Revoke their degrees, and find someway of filing criminal charges against them even if you have to make it up.

Because what we are seeing is the results of our educational facilities being run, and taught by Socialist groups!! Anti-American special interests have changed our educational format!! Changing minds, and history in our systems. TARGETING the youth of today!! Even our Senators and Represenatives!!

Zaos Gonzolez

Communists don't have free speech.

Bill Douglas

They need to revoke the degrees of each and every UM Columbia grad who has an engineering degree starting with the walking dictionary we have in my hometown who times stoplights. That computer geek can do nothing but quote a bunch of state regulations and policy that nobody understands.

No, not if they are peaceful, otherwise the answer is yes.

When was the last time you saw a peaceful leftist protest? "We need some muscle over here" ring any bells?

Of course it does. It's not only the drugs but you can bet Gov. Kotek has already invited hundreds of thousands of illegals into Oregon and our city council will make sure that Central Oregon meets their diversity goals by bringing them here if they haven't already.

Kimmy Wasatch

Of course the open border is affecting all of Oregon as well as most states. Cartel's own the border due to democratic policies. we are getting drugs, terrorists in every state. You get what you vote for.
