The Second COVID-19 Shot's Side Effects Are Worth It - The Atlantic - 1 views

  •  
    I feel that the side effects are an important thing to know about, especially with how our body works. Covid effected us in many ways politically, and in our day to day lives, so it is important to stay informed on these changes. What do you guys think?

Education and Child Policy | Cato Institute - 2 views

  •  
    I think there are some things the school or parents have the right to do. The parents have the right to send them to whatever school they and their child choose. The school has the right to restrict the child from doing certain things that could result in a code of conduct brake. According to the government, they say a child must attend school until they are 18 and are considered an adult. I believe that is all the government should be allowed to do. It's then up to the student to continued their education or go into the workforce.
  •  
    I think that the government's power should be to help people get an education, but it's up to the parents and students to decide where to go and if they want to go on for more schooling. For some jobs, college might not help as much as a trade school, and that's a decision for the parents and student to decide.

Joe Biden and climate change: 10 executive actions President-elect Biden is planning - Vox - 5 views

  •  
    Thankful Biden is aware of the danger we put our environment in and I think it's a smart way to spend government money and use his power.

    i am so glad biden is looking into and wanting to clean energy, carbon neutrality by the middle of the century, and massive federal investment to drive these changes. i think that is great and we need change is this environment
  •  
    I think that it is a good thing Biden is going to rejoin the Paris climate agreement again. It will only help this country become cleaner.
  •  
    I'm happy that Biden is going to be looking more into climate change and implementing more things to help keep our planet healthy.
  •  
    I'm also happy Biden is going to focus on the environment more. I just hope he can stay alive long enough to do so.

Several Counties Defy Orders As California Placed on Lockdown - 2 views

  •  
    I just don't understand why people can't understand. We all want the same thing which is for corona virius to be over. We could do that if we followed the guidelines but then being told to do so is something they consider a "violation of rights." I don't know how they expect it to go away

    This pandemic could have been ended a long time ago if people decided to listen and stay home.

Picture from Elkhorn South High School football game sparks controversy - 5 views

  •  
    "6 News spoke with the principal of the high school, Mark Kalvoda. He said the picture was taken out of context. He said the picture shown online does not tell the full story."
  •  
    I definitely think that I would be uncomfortable if I was at a football game and seen this. There was no reason for these boys to do this ad all they wanted to do was cause a problem. A high school football game is not the place to do this or involve politics with it
  •  
    I don't think the students were trying to start stuff they were just showing their political opinion and no one should get mad about it because everyone is entitled to their own political views.

    It seems as if we need a better way to tally our votes, maybe government secured voting so it can't be hacked?

The Race to Demolish Environmental Protections - 1 views

  •  
    This is so aggravating, as our president, he should be informing the public on the truth of our environment, not take that information away from us and making things much worse. Disappointed but not surprised.

The Covid-19 changes that could last long-term - 2 views

  •  
    Having an international lockdown seems like it would be a little bit excessive but I understand the percussions.
  •  
    An international lock down is a little too much but depending on how bad the situation is then it would be understandable because we don't want anything bad to happen out of all the things we can do.

I think that burning the American Flag is extremely disrespectful to the people that fought for the country. People shouldn't let one bad thing create such chaos like burning the American flag.

Trump lied about science | Science - 5 views

  •  
    I think that this was irresponsible of him as a president, he wasn't keeping the US from panic he was creating a much bigger problem. If the people knew from the start that the virus was deadly the curve would not have reached such a high
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    I agree and as a president, I think more people would have taken the proper precautions to begin with, and things would not be so out of hand.
  •  
    I agree, we wouldn't have panicked if we had all the facts. If we know from the start how bad it was we could have put safety measures in much sooner.
  •  
    He acted like it wasn't a big deal, and waited to long to make a big deal about it, causing everything to grow so big that millions of people got covin.
  •  
    I think that if he took it seriously at the start, the number of cases in America would be completely different. Instead of worrying about trying to prevent a "panic", he should've focused more on the health of the citizens.
  •  
    I think that he could've handled the whole thing differently and told people to stay calm and help figure out a solution together rather than hide it.
  •  
    I think that he should have been honest about it because now we are all screwed because we didn't have a lot of previous knowledge to take precautions as he did. It's hard to put any trust in him after that. what else could he be lying about?
  •  
    I believe that pushing past how big of an issue the virus was led to putting many persons lives in danger. There were many other options he had but instead he chose to keep the information away from the media/public. Also it makes it harder for some people to put their trust in him because of his lie, could he be hiding other important information?
  •  
    I feel like everyone's lying at this point, I don't know who or what to trust, our president himself contradicts himself over and over as it says here, so there's no say to who is really telling the truth ever.

What's behind Trump's push for 'patriotic education'? - 0 views

  •  
    I believe that students should be able to learn about history the way it happened and what really occurred instead of being one sided/sugar-coated.

Military veterans scorn Trump for calling fallen soldiers 'losers,' as described in the... - 0 views

  •  
    I think this is not a valid news source because it never directly quotes nor shows evidence of trump calling fallen soldiers "losers" or "suckers" but it does in fact show him denying these statements this shows no reliability on this news source because they never backed up their statement of saying trump called soldiers losers

After Trump's Doctors Lied, New COVID Conspiracy Theories Are Exploding - 0 views

  •  
    I found this one part of the article very interesting. It said there were 2 pictures of Trump in 2 different locations doing 2 different things just 10 mins apart, that is very very sus. These conspiracy theories are interesting.

Men accused in plot on Michigan governor attended protests - 2 views

  •  
    This protest is so dangerous for so many reasons, protesting should be peaceful and there shouldn't need to be guns there especially when people feel threatened. Everybody has a right to their opinion, but they should voice it in a respectful and peaceful manner otherwise it makes them look uneducated and violent.

Flag burning: President Donald Trump calls for Supreme Court to reconsider flag burning... - 14 views

  •  
    I think it's honestly disappointing that Donald Trump is going against our first amendment right to burn the flag because I just think it's a piece of fabric and there are tons and tons of flags sold almost everywhere in the U.S.
  • ...8 more comments...
  •  
    Yes, he is the president, but the first amendment was made the first amendment in 1791 and is still the first amendment today. In today's day in age, change is all around us but, we choose no to change certain things because why fix what's not broken. if the first amendment hasn't changed since then, then there is no reason to fix it.
  •  
    I think it is completely disrespectful to the people that fought for this country and families who are handed that flag when their kid has died in battle and you people think it's okay just to burn it and think of it as just a piece of fabric. It is a resemblance of what people fought in for..this country, freedom.
  •  
    I think burning the flag is so disrespectful. So many people fought for our country and the flag is a way of honoring them. I agree with Trump, it is a disgrace that people think it is okay to burn the flag.
  •  
    I think burning the flag is disrespectful. Not just because it is the flag of our country but because so many people have fought and sadly dead for this country and we should respect that. There should be a consequence for burning the flag.
  •  
    I think burning the flag is very disrespectful. We have so many people who fight for our country under the flag. I think that burning it is disrespecting the dead soldiers and our own country. I think a punishment should be put in place for anyone who purposely burns a flag.
  •  
    I agree with Marissa; burning the flag is very disrespectful, and if this happens I will be very disappointed.
  •  
    Burning the flag is definitely not a good thing, as many people above have talked about, it is disrespectful. But I think making laws like "Loss of citizenship" or "Jailtime" is a bit much compared to many other crimes going around unpunished now.
  •  
    I agree no one should burn down the US flag because it's not right.
  •  
    loss of citizenship is extreme but I understand the concept, like if you hate this country enough to disrespect our most meaningful symbol and the many people that fought for the right to fly the flag why not just leave? they should definitely be punished in some way.
  •  
    Historically I can understand why people don't like flag burning, but it should in no way be criminalized. It may symbolize something but when you break it down its just a piece of cloth you can buy for a dollar.
