"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.

I dunno how to feel about this, I feel like they should've let her stay but at the same time I feel like they ejected her for a reason, if the reason is just because she's with the NYT than that's stupid.

I think that because she didn't obtain correct press credentials that they had every right to ask her to leave. Plus, they gave her the choice to stay as long as she wasn't reporting.

I agree with Josephine, but I think that Trump saying that the Times is "failing" and an "enemy of the people" is a bit extreme.

"Shortly after the order was issued, the Florida Education Association filed a lawsuit saying that the order defied recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on safely reopening schools."

I think we opened the schools to early. This is a great example of why. No matter how many precautions we take into effect to keep the schools and people inside safe, we still don't know enough about this virus to be able to fully be safe. In the artical it says "Across the different age groups listed in the pediatric report, there are 17,311 confirmed cases among Florida children between 14 and 17." In the highschools, thats the age group in our highschools, and that is the group that is mostly getting the virus. It's scary to think about getting sick when you have other family to worry about if they get it.

you would think after actually having corona he would open his eyes a little more but, he needs to understand why these virtual debates are happening and as our current president he would do that for his people and put a good example.

I agree with the comment above mine, you definitely would think that after having the virus he would take a step towards more virtual meetings instead of being everywhere all the time without a mask.

What do you think of this example? Does the school have to right to punish students who post material that shows their school in a negative way? Are there other similar stories you have heard of?

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.

As a person with a family of immigrants, I believe that seeing "Columbus Day" isn't correct and better off with calling it Indigenous peoples' day due to Native Americans already living throughout the entirety of the North American continent. I wanna know if other people see it as Columbus Day of Indigenous peoples day.

I think we should start sharing who all these people part of American history really were because growing up, social studies class always made it seem like Columbus was a hero that discovered a continent and came and had a party with the native Americans where they ate turkey which is why we now have thanksgiving. I think we deserved to know the truth.

The idea that we should continue to celebrate this racist colonizer as a hero is absurd. Instead honor Indigenous people and their culture. Altogether Columbus was a person who should not be memorialized and celebrated as his actions against Native Americans are simply atrocious

There is a game called League of Legends that was developed over 2 years ago. This game is gaining massive popularity, primarily because those who succeed enough at this game get payed to play. For example, George Liu, a 23 year old resident of California makes over 500 dollars a day to play this game for 6 hours a day, 4-5 days a week. This is not even the highest they pay. Similar to sports, this is a team game. Recently, like all sports, they began to hold a 3 week "season playoff" game in which the winning team would receive 1 million dollars (Split between 5 people), and anyone who made it to the finals, left with at least 5 grand in there pocket, not to mention an all expenses payed trip to 3 locations in which they would host the game play. Sounds like fun right, getting payed to play a game you like? What's not fun, cheating. North America's #1 team was eliminated the first game, by the Korean team. Many claim the game play to be unfair, claims of map hacking, and many other claims of cheating have been made. So, an internationally popular game is taking away prize money which will be donated to charity, but the issues of this are so dramatic. So many opinions have been formed, that this is getting a little out of hand, over a game.

i think its crazy how much funding there is toward this game. i can understand the riot because people can get passionate about anything, but they're spending a lot just for a single game.

It's a world-wide competitive game. I mean, I see football players making more then these guys are giving away. Alex, the American teams nationality was from the same nation that had beat them.

That's really cool! I would like to ride in one of these! Although I probably won't be able to for quite some time.

Personally, I would not want one, for it to run on detailed maps, and be able to override and read every factor of driving, it would require the internet. Assuming it is using google maps, what if it cannot connect to the internet? That's dangerous. To add, like ever machine, there is going to be an error, and this will probably raise accident rates.

. . . Google in general honestly kind of scares me. Like, yeah, the Chromes and Docs and stuff are beneficial for school things, but they don't have to try to take over the world. (And Payton brought up a good point with the car needing to be connected to the internet to work.) Also, has anyone heard about how Google asks you for your real name instead of allowing you to use a screen name (or something like that)? I remember, I think it was two days ago, that I was going to post a comment on a YouTube video that I had watched with my YouTube account that I've had since 2007, and then Google was all like, "Oh hey want to show your real name instead of your screen name?" and I was like, "Heck no." And there have been times where they purposely log me out of my Google account, and then when I sign back in, they ask for my cell phone number and I click skip because I'm not giving my number to Google. It's for some stupid information loss thing or whatever. But who knows if they're actually protecting your personal information and your privacy?

The world needs this company. You don't think we can get the government to bail out this company to do you ?

we will all die

Pretty sad that my children will not get to experience a Twinkie or other Hostess products. RIP.

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.

interesting back and forth regarding free speech

I would blame the media for starting this "conspiracy" in the first place. Once one person makes an assumption based on an event they didn't even witness, and they share it with some sort of media, it explodes into a big "conspiracy" against the government? I really do feel bad for the families who lost their children in such a tragic incident, and I feel even worse that they have to put up with these nonsense hate messages and such from people. It's very disrespectful.

I think the intensity of media coverage of an event such as this can be both good and harmful. When you over expose every detail and interview every last person related to the issue at hand there is bound to be inconsistencies in reporting. However when the media is able to really tell the story of such a tragedy it enlightens the public to some very serious issues. it makes it much easier for legislation to be brought to the table.

This article really highlights the need for better definitions of firearms. I think the vague definition and vague proposals for gun control laws are inhibiting any reform. Gun owners protest because the proposals are broad, and the people who want reform don't understand firearms enough to write a clear law.

I don't understand why people who use their guns correctly get punished for other people's stupidity.

This is very scary to think that it is an epidemic.

One of the worst flu's in the history of America

I believe that everyone should try to work it in their schedule to get the shot or nasal spray. It would help them out alot more then not getting anything at all probably even save their lives. But every year people can die from the flu just this year its a little more common then others.

I think that this school isn't doing anything wrong and they have the right to ask people to leave the district who refuse to comply with their rules and regulations.

I think it's great that people that are unemployed are getting help, but you can't make people too comfortable not having to work for money or they never will. There are people that work hard and could get more money from the government by doing nothing. Governmental programs for unemployment and low income families have become too relaxed. People rely too much on the government; they should support themselves.

Admitting he killed his child should not lesson his sentence, nor get him off the hook for anything. He should serve just as long of a punishment as someone would get for manslaughter.

If your having problems put the baby in a safe place don't leave the house but just go to another room and cool down for a little bit.

I understand but I don't. It was not on purpose, when we are angry our better judgement is clouded. I believe he could be forgiven and all, that's a really short sentence either way. Perhaps the family requested his sentence to be shorter to support the mother. ... I don't know. This

The victims who speak up about their stories are no longer in the military, while their assailants go unpunished, and sometimes even promoted.

It hurts to know that the people who risk their lives for us are being harmed in more ways than war. The men that children look up to are actually pigs that take advantage of women. Its heart-breaking to hear their stories, and while reading have to think about how she probably doesn't even have her job anymore.

This is disturbing on many levels. We need to do something about this problem. Pronto.

I find it interesting that an organization as 'pro-gay' as the ACLU would defend someone that got in trouble for wearing an 'anti-gay' shirt. I think that this is an interesting case showing that the ACLU stands by their principle of defending anyones right to free speech, even if they disagree.

I never heard about the video it is really interesting how Romney tried saying what he said in private wasn't true and what he said in front of millions was what he really means! I THINK NOT!

"China expresses concern and appeals for calm as North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un tells troops to prepare for "all-out war"."

I think that North Korea is bluffing because they dont have enough resources to fight a war. It would be suicide for them to attempt to attack the U.S or other countries in the United Nations.

I hope North Korea is bluffing, With their success in Nuclear Weaponry, you can only take them seriously because we're scared of WWIII or any other type of Nuclear Holocaust. They have the upper hand.
