sudents at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High may not have to return to the three-story building that was the site of the deadliest school shooting in Florida history.
The school district has proposed tearing down the building on campus that housed freshmen, Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie said Friday. It was the spot where many of the 17 students and faculty were murdered Wednesday by a gunman with an AR-15-style weapon. Former student Nikolas Cruz has been charged with the killings.
“We’ve received numerous requests from parents, students, community members and local elected officials that they would like the building demolished and some memorial resurrected on the site,” Runcie said.

Absolutely! The problem can be, and should be, solved at the school FIRST!!!!
In the olden days such a disaster would merit a single monument with the names of those slain on it.
Now days such memorials may take up acres of space. The OKC building bombing comes to mind.
Our monument is bigger than your monument because WE care more!
Demolish the building, in accordance with the requests, and then send all of the students to high-security academically-excellent private schools.
In new school designs I would even have the admin wing/ as a separate building. Students and guests would have to enter that building first.
If you mean home write home.
Actually here a monument could be good. Instead of tearing down the building, create a “quad’ area with life size bronze statues of each of the victims millig about. Create a jouyous space for where the spirits of those slain can gather and be happy and always in school.
Homeschooling is good too.
Perfect logic for the gun grabbers. Blaming the school “building” is the same as blaming the “gun”.
Hey! I just had a liberal epiphany! Pass a law that makes it illegal to commit mass murder in that school. Problem solved. /s
They tore down the library where most of the killings took place. It was a new library too. They rebuilt it at another part of the school.
>Yep. Can see Columbine from my house. There is a memorial west of it.<
Clement Park. I've been there. Grew up in Leawood. Columbine looked a lot different when I went there though. Used to have a statue of a Minuteman "Rebel" holding a rifle standing guard in front of the school. Sometime in the 90s, long before the massacre, a bunch of snowflake moms wanted it removed. Thought a rifle sent the wrong message.
“Shame on you building...bad building, bad building...”
Brilliant! They’re blaming a gun and now a building. Apparently, inanimate objects caused all this.
How about tearing down all the mollycoddling programs?
“...always in school.” That doesn’t sound so pleasant.
Why? What will that solve?
Seeing that their policy of not reporting bad behavior to the authorities should make them tear down the school board building instead.
Many want a memorial resurrected duh isn’t the building one.
I know of people who have moved away because a family member was murdered. I don’t hear people calling them snowflakes.
Talk about empowerment to shooters...
Are they out of their freakin minds?
You place a monument out front that states no person shall destroy the spirit inhabiting the halls of this institution.
Stop trying to create a conspiracy where there is none ‘y’all.’
The school has not been bulldozed. The forensics people have been and will be climbing through it for days. Questions are being asked.
There are dozens of consistent reports and hundreds of eye witnesses to the Parkland massacre.
You smell just like that team of smirking Russians that toys with our idiot electorate on FB before the elections.
Give it a rest.
Of course. When these FBI/CIA-guided mass murders are perpetrated, certain evidence is left behind that must be erased to protect the elites. Sandy Hook was razed, and so must be this high school.
