It is our first amendment right to read whatever books we choose. It is hypocritical to talk about "freedom" and then think these selected few should be telling us what "they" think we should read. It's tyranny at it's best and disgusting.

Lynn Huntley

I read every day. This is supposed to be a free country. Parents need to be aware of what their kids are reading and explain issues, not hide them. Banning something just makes it more appealing to kids.

You know who banned books and burned them? The Nazis.

No books are being banned. Parents are just asking that certain inappropriate literature not be accessible to underage minors. Get over yourselves already

William Waters

I only voted no because I don't like to read. If I did , then I would read what ever book I wanted to. I don't like books being banned when my tax dollars pay for libraries.

The only books that parents want removed from school are not age appropriate. Can I go to a school library/public library and check out a Playboy or Hustler magazine. There is NO BANNING of books going on just concerned parents wanting age appropriate material for their kids. Stop virtue signaling!

Education is key for any society. Our k-12 needs to step up amd focus more on Math, English, Reading, and civics! They also need to drop the social engineering of our youth to the ideological politics of the Teacher's unions!

Northwest Bend was THE poorest choice to place the school and any additions will just create more even more issues with traffic, parking, housing and crime with the low police numbers!!!!

NIMBY, NIMBY, NIMBY! Maybe you can get a moat and a drawbridge put in.

More indoctrination

It's such a shame you're so against people having an education. You know who also felt that way? Nazis.

Would you favor alcohol and tobacco companies sponsoring school events? Thought not. Guns and bullets are in the same category. Former Nosler employees and former Mt. View High students involved in recent murders in Bend. Not good role models for our kids.

Leslie Knight

Advertisements at schools supporting any kind of weapon related items are not appropriate. Just ask the kids at Parkland, but you won't be able to reach them all...

Well DUH, Ammo, alcohol..... We can do better!

Naomi Sherpa

Advertising bullets have no place in school

Keeley Moore

So far 77% agree with Gabe. Maybe liberalism needs to move away.

David Kline

Ammunition and firearms manufacturers sponsoring school events is like Ted Bundy chaperoning the homecoming dance.

sandra zollman

Oh grow up. Maybe they should stop serving meat in schools also? You need to be concerned what the liberals are teaching kids.

Gabe West

People should get your kids out of the woke school district

sandra zollman

Gosh, I wonder where CB moved here from.

Gabe, please move to some backwoods state where they would appreciate your awful opinions.

This is flat out ridiculous. Nosler is a long time local, family-owned employer, with a great history of supporting the community and it's high school sports teams. The ultra liberal "Bendifornians" need to find something worthwhile to bitch about because this is not it.

sandra zollman

Amen. Couldn't agree more.

Susan Anderson

Nosler is a family on business that has supported schools for years before there were very many sponsors, they also supplied excellent jobs for people when they were very few employers in Bend we should be grateful to them not hateful! Many guns are used for sporting events , competition and fun.

Keeley Moore

Because guns are not bad. They are a tool. People being irresponsible with guns are the problem. Let Nosler give our student athletes help!!!

Please KTVZ post the whole issue rather than this blanket question in that Sponsors have been giving money to the community for a very long time and if some newbie has a problem with the sponsors; they should do their homework beforehand rather than wanting a blanket question to the public. Sheesh

Jim Hipp

Get a grip people! Your getting free money to support your kids events! Are you willing to pick up the slack?

Gabe West

Parents get your kids out of the woke school district and home school them

sandra zollman

They should be grateful for any sponsorship.

Andrew Shooks

Nosler is a long-time, family owned local company that has made great contributions to our community over the decades. They primarily manufacture high grade sporting ammunition. Thank them for their sponsorship and move on. This complaint is ridiculous.

d p

Nosler is an excellent business and consistently supportive of our community. Maybe they should consider a limited release .556 with rainbow a rainbow tracer? That should calm the sign holding group down.

Mark Mueller

Bendifornians!!! I like it, that says it all!
