How about they stop locking everyone down, forcing masks everywhere, forced vaccine threats and putting a stop to the 24/7 media fear porn? That would help a lot.

The Real Reason why kids are not allowed to go to school (Hint: it is not covid)..

The likelihood of children being back in school is dictated by unionized government teacher Union thugs..

There is a solution.. De-unionize the public schools.

Child suicides related to the lockdowns was evident a year ago, but the silence from both the media and medical community was deafening.

Despite the “rank & file”, the medical community is corrupt.

Probably need to push more tranny stuff and suggest kids are in the wrong body and stuff, and that they must transform. Oh, and by the way make sure no mental health doctors are allowed to suggest the kids get therapy to get over the (media induced) belief they are in the wrong body.

Yeah, that’ll probably help put a stop to this suicide problem (sarc tag needed for slow folks)

THE world is so screwed up (now that the globalists at John Hopkins have everything under control) that death seems 10 times better than having to suffer through one more of their idiotic staged event 201 pandemics

Feel horrible for the kids and families, but doesn’t appear as though there is one Democrat Governor that has a clue.

Colorado Republicans want to curtail Polis’ pandemic powers. Democrats won’t allow it.

Clearly there is an effect of Covid and the lockdown, but it's more than that. Suicide rates among children have been going up well before Covid.

We live in a world in which innocence is under fire, faith and spirituality are undervalued and ridiculed - or distorted and radicalized, gender equality means that boys are devalued, parents go to court to allow/promote their young children having 'sex reassignment', staring at a phone or computer has taken the place of normal human interaction - including within families, societal 'achievement' is valued way more than being a good parent, and cynicism is rampant. It's not surprising that there are growing numbers of despondent children.

Add to this that pharmacological therapy of children with antidepressants can lower their threshold for suicide.

How about they stop telling them they are evil, racist, privileged colonizers who are the root of everything wrong in the world? How about they stop telling them they have no future, the world is going to be destroyed by climate change, and it's all the fault of evil Americans? How about they stop confusing them about gender, forcing them to go against their hardwired emotions and behaviors? How about they stop attacking all of their heroes? How about they let them be kids?

Lockdowns are doing this…

Kids need to be kids and need to socialize. Not locked up at home for over a year now

How about the schools removing the mask mandates first?

You try wearing a mask 6 to 8 hours a day while teaching.

In CO they have been a ticking time bomb. When did they first legalize marijuana? Babies developing in the womb continously bathed in the highest levels of thc i have seen. Then, what kind of mothers are these without ant emotional self control medicated into psychological shut down.
Not much shocks me, but i have seen those tox reports.
However, in this case this looks like its a for the kids money grab.

They need more liberal/ progressive policies... that’s the answer. Has nothing to do with woke social justice gender bender ideas promoted by big tech loving democrat politicians.

****************************

It must be done. The union is pandering to the liberal left and all other Democrats who see virtue in sex changes of infants and “know” they can teach all children to be victims of anything the Union desires...meanwhile we who insist on history of the USA, civics, science and mathematics, arts, etc must develop our own school system.

We must separate ourselves, our lives and lively hoods and make our own nation based on the Constitution and reasonable laws.

I’m sure middle management across America feels the same way when they have to endure mandatory BML racist training lectures from no nothing affirmative action hires.

“Feel horrible for the kids and families,”

The kids are growing up in the wilderness of the internet.

The internet, Instagram. Facebook, etc are a much bigger part of this than anyone silll be allowed to admit or talk about. Can’t upset the tech companies, can we?

It’s like video games. Corporations pay millions to buy a 30 second ad slot during the Super Bowl, to sway consumers, yet kids spending hours and hours playing video games are unaffected by the violence in them.
