    The trauma caused through school shootings is spreading across the whole country and it is honestly devastating. I wish that the resource officer wouldn't have had to shoot but I know he did what was best for the school and the other students in the school.

    School shootings are very serious and have gotten worse over time. There has been many shootings to many this year and years before that. There may be something we need to do to make the school more safe so that no one has to get hurt and or die.
  • Moriah Heilesen on 06 Dec 18
     
    Reading content like this is very traumatic. Students and teachers should be able to go to school without having to worry about someone coming into the school with a gun. I believe that schools should make an effort to make all schools safer. There have been too many school shootings in America and around the globe.

    I agree because we should feel safe at school and not have to worry about what might happen, school should honestly be the safest place you can go.

    I don't think she should have been kicked out for expressing her opinion about the squad. There are so many people who do that especially about teachers.It doesn't effect how anyone is i.e bullying/ harassment these are just things that she thinks about the school and the sport.
  • masonmascarenas on 26 Apr 21
     
    I believe that the coach had the right to kick her off of the squad. Her speech may have been protected however sports while they may be connected to the school ultimately if the coach decides that a participant is setting a bad example for their team they will be kicked out.

    I dont think that the coach really had any right to kick her off the team, she was expressing how it all made her feel and it was not at school, and why would someone even show the coach? why did they feel then need to do they

    I feel like the coach should not have had the right to kick the girl off the team because she expressed her feelings. The girl did this outside of school and it happens daily everywhere it is just never reported to the coach.
  • greenleighd on 26 Apr 21
     
    I don't think the coach should have been able to kick her off the team she was expressing her feelings. I mean if they would have just let her on the team in the first place this situation wouldn't have happened.
  • nick_rice on 26 Apr 21
     
    I think it was wrong for her to be kicked off the team just because she was expressing her feelings. It didn't even happen at school so she should not get punished by the school.

    i think he was right to kick her off the team because the speech wasn't appropriate and that represents the teams, but i also think that she had the right to say what she was thinking, just not in that way. if he kicked her off for expressing her thoughts in a different way, then that would not be okay.
  • joeypo10 on 26 Apr 21
     
    In my opinion the coach should not have been able to kick her off the team. She was simply expressing her emotions and feelings about school. Many students say stuff like this in school and don't get punished for it.
  • kredding147 on 26 Apr 21
     
    I personally think that kicking her off the team was the right decision. Her speech directly affected the team, the coaches, and the school, and action needed to be taken so it was clear that inappropriate conduct won't be tolerated. If she had worded her thoughts differently, maybe the outcome wouldn't have been the same.
  • allisonwalker on 26 Apr 21
     
    I feel like they shouldn't punish her. She was off school and had the right to voice her opinion. The school can't do anything if she wasn't even on school grounds.
  • jtaulborg103 on 26 Apr 21
     
    I think in this specific case they shouldn't have kicked her off the team because she was expressing how she feels. She didn't say anything offensive and she wasn't specifically targeting people. If what she said was targeting someone negatively or she was targeting the coach then maybe it'd be a different story but she was vaguely expressing her feelings and I don't think there is anything wrong with what she said.
  • milo_nordman on 28 Apr 21
     
    I don't think she should have been kicked off the team because she wasn't directly targeting someone. She was just voicing how she felt, I don't think she should be punished for that.
  • jdogan on 05 May 21
     
    I don't think she should be allowed to be kicked off for this because with something like this there isn't really anyone in specific that this is aimed towards so there's no targeted harm.
  • sydneykolln on 21 May 21
     
    I feel like they had a right to kick her off of the team. I'm on a competitive dance team and if I say anything that bashes or offends people at or people that work at my studio, then I would be kicked off of the team. She posted a photo saying that she's done with cheerleading and that is definitely something that would cost her a spot on the team.
  • arosas733 on 24 May 21
     
    I feel like that is the right to free speech and she shouldn't be punished, but at the same time if its F School and F Cheerleading then why do it? Why participate in it then? Seems stupid on her part and disrespectful to the team, which I can see why she should also get kicked off. Because they don want someone like her representing their team.
  • mcaamal on 24 May 21
     
    I think that it was right for them to kick her off because on a team you want to have responsible and respectful teammates. What she did affect the wholes teams image so I agree with what was done
  • mgerman776 on 24 May 21
     
    I think this case is dumb and a waste of time. So what she said F school everyone does. She's also a teenager she should be focusing on more important things other than a case.
  • hschimmer540 on 25 May 21
     
    Obviously, she shouldn't have said this but I think the punishment was a bit harsh and she shouldn't have gotten kicked off the team for this. Yes it was disrespectful and no okay but the punishment seems extreme.

  • gramirez722 on 03 Sep 20
     
    I think the school didn't have a right to punish the students who post material that shows their school in a negative way. The school could talk to the students and ask what the school can do to make it more comfortable for them or what can they do to make the school better and not negative.

    there is no reason an eight year old boy should have to take off a jersey because of the number 18. there is no way he could have known that was gang related

    I believe that schools should not be so strict about gang related clothing because a lot of people don't know that certain things you see on clothing are gang related.
  • Michaela Koopmeiners on 18 Sep 12
     
    I find this ridiculous that they're making a elementary student remove his jersey just because of a number that represents a gang. If it was a problem before hand, they should of let the parents and students know a head of time. And a 8 year doesn't even know what a gang is so I don't see what the big deal is anyways. They're just being paranoid.

    Many students asked my view on this law.... I will simply say that I have felt grateful that 99% of my students followed my classroom policies 99% of the time with regards to seating charts, sanitizing, masks, etc. They respected my classroom all year long even if they personally disagreed with that. Now because of this new law (which is based more on partisanship than science) I am in the opposite role and I will trust and respect the choices students make in the last week of school whether or not I personally agree with their view. I know how to make changes in government when I feel a need for change. As always, if you have an opinion on this topic, I would love for you to respectfully share it here.
  • saraivargas on 21 May 21
     
    I do not believe the mandate should be lifted seeing as a lot of people are un-vaccinated, susceptible to COVID, and the herd immunity process is barely beginning. There's no way that we're going to eradicate COVID if we can't do the bare minimum of wearing masks. Most people don't even wash their hands for 20 seconds,and wear their masks under their nose. If we can't wear a mask correctly, can't wash our hands, and refuse to get vaccinated, I sincerely believe we might have to deal with COVID as we do with the flu by taking yearly shots and such.
  • sydneykolln on 24 May 21
     
    I personally believe that the mask mandate should not have been lifted. Yes, some people are vaccinated but there are not enough people vaccinated for herd immunity to work well. I also believe that she should have just waited to lift the mask mandate. We have gone through this whole school year wearing masks and for that to change overnight is just confusing to understand. She should have just waited until schools got out for summer and then lifted it if she really wanted to.
  • mgerman776 on 24 May 21
     
    I think the maks mandate should have been kept for a little longer, at least until more people are vaccinated

    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.
  • margaretgrover on 05 Jan 21
     
    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.

    i am glad that biden is going to broadened health care coverage and student loan forgiveness i think this will help many poeple

    I think health care is going to help many people, but the fact that people that make a certain amount of money, have to pay higher taxes, is not fair.

    I also think that a lot of people are going to struggle with the prices inflating. But I just hope that with Biden being president more people can be tolerant with each other since no one was doing then when Trump was in office.

    I think that people who make a certain amount of money shouldn't have to pay more taxes, it's not fair.

    I think this an amazing step in keeping ISD. My mom works with a lot of deaf student age people over in Omaha and she says that one of the worst things that has happened to them was when the Nebraska equivalent to ISD closed because the public schools said they would be able to offer the same kind of learning environment. That never ended up happening and now they are worse off then they were before.

    If my teacher asked me to write that essay I would refuse too. That is not something they should have to be writing about. She could have at least given them the option to choose either that Jews are bad or Nazis are bad so it didn't look as bad for her.

    This is wrong for the teacher to assign something that may offend someones religion.

    Couldn't she just be trying to open the children's mind to a different point of view? Giving them a life lesson, that there's always two sides to every story. Not necessarily trying to offend anyone.

    Teachers have kids write essays from different aspects and point of views all the time to try to get them to open their mind about new things. The teacher just should have anticipated that people may get offended with a topic like that.

    Maybe she shouldn't have picked a topic that pushes the envelope so much. I don't know, it just seems like it could be really touchy, like it kind of crosses the line.
  • Delaney Bolton on 24 Apr 13
     
    She should have been aware that some people may reject the assignment when she asked them to write about it! For some people it's a sore subject so I don't think they should necessarily have to write about it if they don't want too.

    That is a serious topic for students.. It would personally be uncomfortable for me to write an essay for that.
  • Jeremy Vogel on 25 Apr 13
     
    I feel that the idea behind the assignment wasn't to necessarily portray that the teacher thought, and wanted the class to think, Jewish people as being evil but I feel that it is what ended up happening. The teacher could have picked hundreds of different essay topics ranging from abortion to zero tolerance polices that would have allowed students to write persuasively and not specify any one group in particular.

    Police say an Omaha man who came to the aid of a student near Monroe Middle School was shot Thursday morning. Thirty-year-old Dallas Waters told police while driving at 51st and Bedford just before 11:30 a.m. he noticed two teenaged boys pushing a school-aged girl on the sidewalk.
