Colton Haab, a student who survived last week’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, refused to participate in a CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night after he was told to ask a “scripted” question.
Haab, a junior at the high school, told Fort Lauderdale ABC affiliate WPLG that CNN invited him to speak at the televised town hall in nearby Sunrise, Florida, and that he and his parents had dressed up for the occasion.
But CNN then told Haab he would have to read a question that CNN had prepared for him:

If you look at the behavior of “progressive” school officials in Broward County, that theory’s not too far off. They’ve been on notice since the Trayvon case that their policy of covering up student misbehavior in order to keep the reported crime rate down would have dangerous consequences.
The FBI couldn’t be bothered so who else can we blame?
Cable stations don’t need a license. You could go after Time/Life owned tv stations, though.
In one sense, there’s blame seeking going on, but the best government is as local as possible, so local government entities ought to be FIRST — not last — in line for the blame that devolves from their failures to execute governance in their delegated capacities.
The FBI, though they certainly blew it, ought not have to stand as whipping boy for the sins of a local School Board that, by all appearances, abdicated its duty to the local community for which it had the most immediate responsibility.
Amid our legitimate desire to see the FBI own up to their culpability, here, we cannot excuse the School Board for their hefty slice of culpability in this multi-agency failure.
What should the school board have done?
How about referring the troublemaker for arrest on the basis of a worsening history of incidents that include an assault committed a year ago?
I don’t know the full extent of their tool set, but I do know they have the power to strongly engage Law enforcement when they encounter students who demonstrate themselves to be a danger. They can’t be excused for not.
The cops visited his home nearly 40 times yet they never bothered to arrest him yet you blame the school board.
So what was the question they wanted him to ask?
That’s just freakin’ weird. How long as it been ....not even a week?
Someone needs to post the GIF of Bill Clinton laughing it up and then when he realizes the cameras are on him he starts acting mournful
so true, and yet there are still people who think CNN is a news network, and actually watch it.
School Board has a KNOWN history of hiding salient criminal facts from Law Enforcement.
Yes, I DO blame them; I think they are culpable, and probably guilty of withholding knowledge of criminal offences from Law Enforcement, which rises to the level of legally actionable criminality.
“Ask ‘em this one kid. It’s a zinger! ...No, no. We don’t have time for that one. Just deliver the zinger!”
Ugh!
