At the same time the Broward County School District was dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline under policies that failed to stop accused shooter Nikolas Cruz, it was building another pipeline, funneling back into regular classrooms thousands of other potentially dangerous students released from local jails. It built a culture of lawlessness that intensified with the new lax Social Justice ideology.
To add to the fiasco was the re-engagement program. This was for serious juvenile offenders the Broward County School district had transitioned back to school. It amounted to almost 2,000 incarcerated students--a number comparable to student bodies at many high schools. Local probation officers warned that these offenders would have a high risk of re-offending. That warning was unheeded because it meant money for the school district.
You can imagine the behavior of the students in this pressure cooker environment. What has happened is they have hid this policy disaster and used the gun issue to deflect attention from the situation they caused that drove more criminal behavior and Nikolas Cruz.
Since these programs were instituted, complaints from victims of Broward school crimes grew, as well as a dramatic increase in home invasions, burglaries, armed robberies and car thefts plaguing the county, including Fort Lauderdale. The schools become ruled by gangs. Gang thugs got out of detention and went back into schools, where they would recruit younger kids to run drugs through the schools.
All of this has been swept under the rug. All of it! It was to hide the dynamics of a criminal landscape that failed to stop shooter Nikolas Cruz. What it created was an unrestrained thug who wanted to out-thug the thugs.
While I suspect “unrestrained criminal activity” occurred there. The only way this would be uncovered is through state and fed investigation which is what I’m pushing for.
While some of this has been revealed chiefly through the talk show circuit. They have limited resources and may not view it worthy of devoted airtime. It’s only been briefly mentioned not used as a counter which it should be to the media’s agenda.
