Parent warned of 'repeat of Columbine' months before Colorado school shooting
Washington Examiner ^ | | May 10, 2019 05:52 PM | Julio Rosas

Months before two students at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado killed one student and wounded eight others, a parent had told the school she was worried the school's climate would result in another Columbine.

Columbine High School, where 13 students and faculty died and another 21 were wounded in a 1999 mass shooting, is only seven miles away from the STEM school.

9News reports the parent's concerns were written into a letter by Daniel Winsor, director of choice planning at Douglas County School District, and sent to STEM School Executive Director Penelope Eucker in December.

In the letter, Winsor said the parent — who wanted to remain anonymous — said, "many students are suicidal and violent in school" and the “high pressure” environment at the school was a "perfect-storm” that could lead to "a repeat of Columbine or Arapahoe.”

A student armed with a machete, three Molotov cocktails, and a pump-action shotgun killed Arapahoe High School student Claire Davis before killing himself in a 2013 shooting.

Eucker told 9News an investigation was opened to look into the allegations, but found "no evidence to support any of the allegations raised in the anonymous complaint," which also included board members embezzling money and laundering it in China and Mexico and forcing students to clean up human feces with their bare hands.

Once again, as usual, it is not the intention of gun control advocates among the so-called authorities of law enforcement, to act on such reports that violence is imminent. Rather, they want the massacres to occur in order to further stoke the blanket firearms confiscations that is their ultimate goal. Even so-called “red flag laws” are being ignored, as in this case, to further the agenda.

I saw the story as well.

An anonymous lot written letter circulated blaming school officials for allowing bullying and saying it would lead to a shooting possibly. School district filed suit to find out who wrote the letter.

Also not reported in US is the tranny was daughter (wants to be boy) of an illegal alien. Had he been kept put of the country entire thing never would have happened.

Can you elaborate? :

The Douglas County School District official said all of the concerns were reported to “the Department of Human Services and to the sheriff’s department.” STEM school officials disputed the claims and filed a lawsuit in January against the anonymous parent for what they called “defamatory statements.”

Well, that anonymous complaint sounds credible now.

And how did the school respond? They tried to shut that complaint down.

Sounds like the school was more concerned about money and job protection.

All the while, leftists demand that law abiding people be disarmed most especially in schools which is where law abiding people should be armed so we can protect our children.

Leftists are horrible people.
