A school building for 4000 students cannot be cheap. So they plan to destroy a perfectly good building because it brings back bad memories?
How about just remodeling some of the areas where the killings happened?
Talk about a bunch of snowflakes.
They want to tear it down and forget it happened? Fix it up and attend classes there with reverence and purpose.
Stupid emotionalism. No one should pay a dime for this other than those who want the demolition. Raise funding through donations. No taxpayer funding.
I wonder what would happen if every time there were a traffic fatality they closed that section of road and built a new section of road on an alternate route.
Sure, raise taxes.
The Broward District needs to change their 2013 policy which forbids the Broward schools from informing the police about juvenile delinquents committin crimes in their schools. The police are not notified or called; they handle it all internally (boy sits in the corner.)
Perhaps the dumbest idea I have ever heard. The worst thing you can ever do for terrorism is to show that you caneed be manipulated into throwing the baby out with the bath water. This will only encourage more nuts to pull more massacres knowing that they can live on after death.
Build another building on some different property. Keep the
building and turn it into something like a mental health facility
House the patients, etc.
How very Stalinesque of them !
never did see if it was rebuilt
Well, wouldn’t that be a feather in the cap of future attention seekers.
AND... would the security budget for the new building be any more than the previous budget?
Virtue Signalling idiocy reaches new low!
On the dumbness scale of Virtue Signalling this ranks right down there with the George Bush promise to raze and replace Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
Who do these people want to punish? The killer or the taxpayers?
What would a replacement building cost?
$500 million? $1 billion?
The building isn’t guilty.
The gunman is guilty.
The clumsy and incompetent FBI is culpable.
The anti-gun leftists who won’t allow armed security in schools are culpable.
The same people who think gun-free-zones work are culpable.
Anyone who thinks razing and replacing the school will eliminate evil, assuage their own guilt, or comfort the wounded and dead are fools.
Columbine High is still standing.
Sad that while the movie “The 15:17 To Paris” is playing we have a national incident where true heroes are victims because schools are a gun free zone. Like ISIS, school officials propose tearing down a structure to hopefully remove it from history. It should remain standing and we should learn from it, perhaps installing better monitoring equipment and ensuring that all schools have armed and trained personnel within their facility.
Complete denial and gutless pandering. Healing and learning do not take place by hiding what happened. Hiding the truth seems to be the only thing the left has ever successfully accomplished. Just look how well that is turning out.
The first response of Lefties is always to punish the taxpayers.
The talk shows and the media are busy blaming guns and politicking the incident shifting the blame when they should be furthering the need for student security.
Particularly since there have been examples occurring of such episodes worldwide.
In this facilities case, their security system should be brought to public discussion particularly because this school has a so called gun free zone. It does have an officer who may be armed assigned to patrol the multi acre site in a golf cart, but bans guns from the rest of its internal security . Plus examine records reporting how student vs student, and student vs teacher altercations, vandalism, and thefts, which are bound to occur were being dealt with.
Because in an educational unit this size its pretty clear their security system failed . In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten inside.
I propose not tearing it down. Instead, build a temporary gallows there, hang the perp and then tear down the gallows.
