Broward School Violence: Cruz's Massacre Is Far From the Whole Story
Real Clear Investigations ^ | 04/15/2018 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 04/15/2018 10:53:30 AM PDT by Rusty0604

Broward County, Fla., school officials portray as a great success their Obama administration-inspired program offering counseling to students who break the law, instead of having them arrested or expelled. They insist that it played no role in February’s school massacre by Nikolas Cruz. They also claim that in fact juvenile recidivism rates are down and school safety is up, thanks to the program.

The evidence tells a far different story.

Broward County juvenile justice division records, federal studies of Broward school district safety and the district's own internal reporting show that years of “intensive" counseling didn’t just fail to reform repeat offender Cruz, who allegedly went on to shoot and kill 17 people at his high school. Records show such policies have failed to curtail other campus violence and its effects now on the rise in district schools — including fighting, weapons use, bullying and related suicides.

Meanwhile, murders, armed robberies and other violent felonies committed by children outside of schools have hit record levels, and some see a connection with what’s happening on school grounds. Since the relaxing of discipline, Broward youths have not only brazenly punched out their teachers, but terrorized Broward neighborhoods with drive-by shootings, gang rapes, home invasions and carjackings.

Broward County now has the highest percentage of “the most serious, violent [and] chronic” juvenile offenders in Florida, according to the county’s chief juvenile probation officer.

Right on. If gun control laws stopped violence, Chicago would be a safe city.

Isn’t Broward County the one that engages in voter fraud?

The teacher that was wounded and saw the gunman says it was a big man in heavy military armor that was doing the shooting, not Cruz.

Why do we keep hearing the obvious lie that it was Cruz?

Almost every county in the US actively engages in voter fraud.

Not purging registrations of the dead is voter fraud.

Not requiring a new application for an absentee ballot in each election is passive votor fraud.

How do you know?
God punishes lazy churches with heathens.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You need to try harder to not be a ding-dong (slang for “goofball”).
Also - Consider the parable of the wheat and the tares. There are deceivers in churches today - I guess you could say that is one of God’s promises.
And at the end of the age He will have His angels separate them, and burn up the tares with unquenchable fire.

n fact,” she said, “our district’s overall disciplinary incidents have dropped since we adopted the new policy

Is this not something of a tautology in that there are necessarily fewer disciplinary incidents because discipline is simply not administered thus there are fewer incidents than when crimes were dealt with disciplinarily

There was another program. The “re-engagement” program was for serious juvenile offenders the Broward County School district had “transitioned” back to school. It amounted to almost 2,000 incarcerated students—a number comparable to student bodies at many high schools. Local probation officers warned that these offenders would have a high risk of re-offending. That warning was unheeded because it meant money for the school district.

Those in the Obama Regime were working to turn America into a Marxist system. What better way than to turn America’s schools into hell holes without discipline that destroy the learning process.

How many people do you think knew Michelle was pregnant? Coworkers, friends, people at church, family? And everybody keeps quiet about it.

You gotta be stretch a lot of imagination to believe this one.

The information you have posted has been out there since March. You would think the media would have picked up on it. Not! They would throw themselves on the tracks rather than have the seams break on the Obama legacy.
