Editor's Note: Our website and Facebook fans shared their thoughts on Crestview development and a textbook the Okaloosa County School District removed from fifth-grade classrooms.
What about North Crestview?
How about a decent restaurant (I am thinking a 24-hour place like IHOP, Denny’s, etc.) on the north end of Crestview and some more places to shop up here?
Wal-Mart never has enough cashiers, and is a pain to get to/from during most of the day, and Staples is a pain to get in and out of due to traffic.
Plenty of places to build in North Crestview, but we seem to be forgotten.

Adequate recreational facilities needed
It is great to look at the things we do have; I am a fan of The Wild Olive, Happy Lark Art Studio, (the) walking trail and the movie theater (among other places such as my church, and my kids love Chill).
I do not, however, believe we have adequate recreational facilities for our children in Crestview. It is tough getting time in for kids to play basketball, and it would be great if our town could update the facility to meet the needs of the amount of people in the Crestview area.
The kids here need more things to do to stay active, and a bigger facility could provide that.

Next up: world religions
If a statement of fact like that (“Muslims pray to Allah”) bothers you this much in fifth grade, then you probably need to pull your kid out of public school now. Your head is going to spin later, when your kid gets an appropriate and accurate education in world history, which includes world religions.

Other cultures exist
Christianity isn't the only religion in the world. Parents are only depriving their kids of diversity. Get off your high horses. I'm so thankful to have grown up in Philadelphia and learned that other races and cultures exist.
