Instapundit Glenn Reynolds asked a very good question earlier today regarding the latest infuriating news regarding Broward County School district and the oh-so-politically correct and dangerous PROMISE program. 

ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC OFFICIALS IN BROWARD COUNTY WHO AREN’T LYING WEASELS?

What is he referring to? Why this revelation that local media in Florida discovered and publicized Sunday night.

Broward school district officials admitted Sunday that the confessed Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School gunman was assigned to a controversial disciplinary program, after the superintendent repeatedly claimed Nikolas Cruz had “no connection” to the alternative punishment designed to limit on-campus arrests.

Two sources with knowledge of Cruz’s discipline records told WLRN he was referred to the so-called PROMISE Program for a three-day stint after committing vandalism at Westglades Middle School in 2013.

What is this program? It’s a program that we’ve referred to here and here. It’s a program that Real Clear Investigations reported on extensively. It’s a program that allows dangerous juveniles to skate through touchy-feely programs and go right back into the mainstream schools. It’s a program that has, WITHOUT parental and even school knowledge, put dangerous juveniles back into the mainstream schools; thus putting everyone at risk.

Assault

Sexual Assault

Rape

Burglary

Car jacking

Attempted murder

The list goes on. Of course, Broward County Schools and Sheriff Department have been super insistent that Nikolas Cruz never ever ever and I mean never ever attended or was part the PROMISE program. Oh Really?

Then Tracy Clark said on Sunday afternoon the district had “confirmed” Cruz’s referral to PROMISE after he vandalized a bathroom at the middle school on Nov. 25, 2013.

However, it’s unclear if Cruz ever attended the program.

Clark said he appeared at Pine Ridge Education Center in Fort Lauderdale — an alternative school facility where PROMISE is housed — for an intake interview the day after the vandalism incident.

But, she said, “It does not appear that Cruz completed the recommended three-day assignment/placement.” She said she did not want to “speculate” as to why.

Oh that’s just swell.

• He was referred to the program
• He made it to and/or through the intake interview
• Yet SUDDENLY he never showed up to start the three-day program

If I were students and families living in Broward County, I would be over-the-top pissed off to eleventy given this latest revelation. Some are.

.@RobertwRuncie another lie you told is exposed… The PROMISE program you implemented into our schools allowed 18-1958 to stay in the @browardschools. It cost 17 lives. Our school board is filled with compulsive liars. This must stop.#FIXIT https://t.co/9daF6CNoyw

Ryan Petty lost his daughter Alaina on that day. He, understandably, was not thrilled with this latest news of Broward’s cover-up. In a series of tweets, he lined out some major concerns regarding this info.

Best practices for threat assessment were not in place in Broward schools. In fact many discipline programs were in direct conflict with established best practices. Our children and teachers are still at risk.

Hey guys? Hey Parkland kiddies and all you anti-NRA folks – Hi Alyssa! – care to comment? Seriously, you should be enraged at the news that Broward has been scrambling to cover-up their incompetence. Where is your anger that the district sat for years on millions of dollars slated for school safety. You should be applauding MSDS student Kenneth Preston for his work on uncovering that information.

You should be absolutely livid at the fact that the PROMISE program did and does put every student, teacher, and staff member across the entire district at major risk.

Over the weekend, several protested the NRA convention and slammed President Trump.

A quick scan of the Twitter feeds for David Hogg, Cameron Kasky, Emma Gonzales, Jeff Kasky, and Ryan Deitsch all show that their reaction to this latest news is …. CRICKETS.

Guess what guys? The danger you face isn’t the NRA nor is it President Trump. Nope. It’s the officials at Broward County School and Sheriff Department who have been putting you in danger since the program was implemented by Obama crony Robert W. Runcie in 2013.

Well Glenn, hate to break it to you, but it seems evident that Broward County is riddled with weasels. And none of their names rhyme with NRA or President Donald Trump.
