It was like neither of them had ever heard of Nikolas Cruz. The Parkland, Florida, school shooter is our most recent case study of what happens when liberals start babbling about “institutional racism.”
There’s never been such an incredible paper trail as there is with Cruz, leading straight from idiotic liberal ideas directly to mass murder. We know that Broward County Public Schools knew about Cruz’s felonies. We know that his behavior wasn’t reported because it would negatively impact the record of a student of color. The school district bragged about the policy.
Perhaps having no criminal record would have helped Cruz get a good job someday. But it is a fact that one of the consequences of not reporting his crimes was that HE COULD GET A GUN.
Unless liberals are going to say that guns had nothing to do with the Parkland shooting, it was the racial bean-counting in school discipline that unleashed this psychotic on innocent students and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School four weeks ago.
Stahl treated as cold hard fact the idea that schools punish “students of color more harshly than their white classmates,” citing this real-world example:
“Let’s say” — lots of serious journalism begins with “let’s say” — “there’s a disruption in the classroom and a bunch of white kids are disruptive and they get punished, you know, go see the principal. But the black kids are, you know, they call in the cops. I mean, that’s the issue: who and how the kids who disrupt are being punished.”
I remember this plot on “Law & Order,” but there aren’t many examples of it in real life. MORE

Expecting RePUBICans to actually fight back in a campaign. Interesting concept. They lay down flatter than a worn rug in the face of freedom’s enemy; progressivism.
Democrats will accuse us of loving guns and racism
Too quick to accept the premise……
Establishment Republicans are the problem. They not only embrace progressivism, they lie about it and are the fifth column. They are a bigger threat than Democrats. They do not oppose these Democrat policies, they embrace them. Not publicly, but none the less they are all in for them. Think Jeb Bush,
Why republicans continue to be interviewed by media communists like stahl who are loaded up with “so have you stopped beating your wife?”-type questions is beyond me. I would tell the whole lot to stuff it — no interviews period. Objective fact-based journalism in this country has been dead for decades. Stop playing their silly game
Moron rinos will see you out for a dollar. Publicly shame them every chance you get.
sell?
and by the way, I like the cut of Ms. Coulter’s jib…..

I give Ann a lot of credit. You don’t have to agree with every detail and comment but she’s on target 99% of the time. More importantly, she’ll stand alone and face down anyone in front of hostile crowds. How many others do you see doing that?
professional politicians do not want this issue or any issue to go away.
quit electing professional politicians to office if you really want any change in policies.
look how well DJT has worked out.
imagine how many nwo heads would explode if we had a majority of citizen DJT’s in elected office ?
you want special interest money out of political decisions then break the special interest bank by making them have to bribe a constant influx of newly elected citizens who serve one term then leave to go back to their old life.
The policy of under reporting, or not reporting criminal behavior of minority school children has nothing to do with trying to provide future opportunity for these kids – it is designed to mask progressive policy failures. If no action is taken against thugs in schools, then not only do these kids not learn to read and write, but they learn that there are no consequences to violent behavior. Eventually both the lack of education and the condoning of violent behavior will catch up with these kids, or maybe progressives will just continue on this lunatic path and condone violence by young adults.
The school to prison pipeline is not a result of school dicipline, it is a result of broken and dysfunctional families, lack of father figures, lack of realistic opportunities, ignoring mental health issues, a breaking down of societal morals and norms, and promoting a culture of governmental dependence. These are the results of progressive policies, and school violence is a sympton and not a cause. It’s like discovering you are horribly allergic to shellfish, but choosing to just put makeup on the rashes instead of avoiding the food itself.
“Eventually both the lack of education and the condoning of violent behavior will catch up with these kids, or maybe progressives will just continue on this lunatic path and condone violence by young adults.”
Eventually? More like ‘Now’.
“Let’s say a journalist just makes something up. Just imagines it, because it didn’t happen. And they know it didn’t happen. because they just made it up. When they just report their target’s response, is it really the Russians’ fault there’s so much fake news?”
