FL House Speaker Richard Corcoran: Obama-Era ‘No-Arrest Policy’ May Have Shielded Florida Shooter
Breitbart ^ | 2-27-2018 | Robert Kraychik

An Obama-era “no-arrest policy” guideline for school discipline may have hindered the ability of authorities to prevent Nikolas Cruz’s mass murder of 17 persons at a Florida high school on February 14, said the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives Richard Corcoran. Corcoran, a Republican from Florida’s Pasco County, made his comments on Monday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel coordinated with the Broward County Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie to implement a school disciplinary guidelines — entitled the PROMISE program: Preventing Recidivism through Opportunities, Mentoring, Interventions, Supports & Education — oriented around racial and ethnic quotas.

Breitbart News’s Dr. Susan Berry reported: “The Obama-era Departments of Education and Justice – under education secretary Arne Duncan and Attorney General Eric Holder –issued school guidelines in 2014 that claimed students of color are “disproportionately impacted” by suspensions and expulsions, a situation they said leads to a “school-to-prison pipeline” that discriminates against minority and low-income students.”

A January 2014 memorandum from the Departments of Education and Justice indicated that federal investigations of schools may be initiated based on “public reports” of unequal racial outcomes via disciplinary policies: “The Departments also may initiate investigations based on public reports of racial disparities in student discipline combined with other information, or as part of their regular compliance monitoring activities.” Such racial disparities, asserted the memorandum, are likely functions of racial and ethnic discrimination: “Significant and unexplained racial disparities in student discipline give rise to concerns that schools may be engaging in racial discrimination that violates the Federal civil rights laws.”

The PROMISE program’s website describes the policy’s purpose: “The intent of PROMISE is to safeguard the student from entering the judicial system.” It also contains a “Diversity” subcategory.

The cascade of failures in Broward County weren’t mistakes.

It was by design it all happened.

The Dimms also do this with test scores by making them increasingly easier to lower the bar and inflate the passing rate. They have no real solution but to rig the process for all things - crime, schools, voting, etc.

There was no “may” about it. The Broward County Sheriff’s Dept. had a stand down policy, to refuse to enforce the law against students.

Coral Gables PD did not. They entered the school and also caught the perpetrator. Something that Israel managed to conceal , disallowing the Coral Gables PD any place at the pressers Israel had conducted. He was gaming the politics right from the get go. Israel MUST resign or be fired by Gov. Scott, and a new election for Sheriff held ASAP!The campaign will reveal just how deep the liberal fascist rot in the Broward County Sheriff Dept. has gone.

This whole fiasco is not about guns at all.Its about an agreement with the feds, local school boards to refuse to enforce the law, and as such the Broward County Sheriff’s Dept. violated the Constitutional rights of the 17 people who were murdered.

Dig out the rot, expose it to the light of day and ridicule it. President Trump is doing this as we sit here and read this. He certainly knows what has to be done. Governor Scott needs to be convinced.Fire Israel and make sure the investigation into what happened is factual, no cover ups!

Obama has left his dirty , evil spoor all across the nations police departments. Clean it up now!

Schools nationwide are refraining from constructive discipline because of who acts in ways that require that constructive discipline.

Exactly. They didn’t birth this killer, but they coddled him and enabled him to commit mass murder.

Too bad those who ushered this program into the schools will not feel the pain of losing their beloved child or family member as the result their policy.
