Obama Administration's Leniency Policy for Crimes Committed at School Paved Easy Road for Parkland Shooter

Despite committing a string of arrestable offenses on campus before the Florida school shooting, Nikolas Cruz was able to escape the attention of law enforcement, pass a background check and purchase the weapon he used to slaughter three staff members and 14 fellow students because of Obama administration efforts to make school discipline more lenient.
Documents reviewed by RealClearInvestigations and interviews show that his school district in Florida's Broward County was in the vanguard of a strategy, adopted by more than 50 other major school districts nationwide, allowing thousands of troubled, often violent, students to commit crimes without legal consequence. The aim was to slow the "school-to-prison pipeline."
"He had a clean record, so alarm bells didn’t go off when they looked him up in the [NCIS] system," veteran FBI agent Michael Biasello told RCI. "He probably wouldn't have been able to buy the murder weapon if the school had referred him to law enforcement."
Disclosures about the strategy add a central new element to the Parkland shooting story: It's not just one of official failings at many levels and of America's deep divide over guns, but also one of deliberate federal policy gone awry.

In 2013, the year before Cruz entered high school, the Broward County school system scrapped and rewrote its discipline policy to make it much more difficult for administrators to suspend or expel problem students, or for campus police to arrest them for misdemeanors-- including some of the crimes Cruz allegedly committed in the years and months leading up to the deadly Feb. 14 shooting at his Fort Lauderdale-area school.

To keep students in school and improve racial outcomes, Broward school Superintendent Robert W. Runcie -- a Chicagoan and Harvard graduate with close ties to President Obama and his Education Department -- signed an agreement with the county sheriff and other local jurisdictions to trade cops for counseling. Instead of the criminal justice system, students charged with various misdemeanors, including assault, were referred to counseling, which included participation in "healing circles," obstacle courses and other "self-esteem building" exercises.
Asserting that minority students, in particular, were treated unfairly by traditional approaches to school discipline, Runcie's goal was to slash arrests and ensure that students, no matter how delinquent, graduated without criminal records.

Instead of having a police record, he left school with a bodycount of 17 innocent people.

Well-played, all. Make sure you all give each other big fat bonuses.

60 I was going to post this in the last thread, but I was wondering if anyone else had heard this term. Beware, log post...

from the Steve Bannon interview at GQ

We've talked in the past about the power of Facebook memes as a way to weaponize ideas. Are you planning for this new venture to have a strong social-media component?

Facebook's a very powerful tool. When I talk about building a 10 million man digital-and-analog army, a big part of that is going to have to be social media. It's the way this new movement, Time's Up--or what I call the "anti-patriarchy movement"--is coordinating right now. This movement is using social media just like the Tea Party when it first came about.

So you're studying the Time's Up movement?

Absolutely. One hundred percent. There are two important movements in this country right now: the populist nationalist movement on the right, and the MeToo movement on the left. Excuse me, not the MeToo. It's the Time's Up movement. MeToo is about sexual predators and everything like that. The Time's Up movement is much more fundamental and actually many steps above MeToo. It's basically going against 10,000 years of recorded history. That's the power of it. You see here something that's in a very early, raw stage, but I've never seen such potential power in something.

Do you view it as politically adversarial to what you're doing?
Yes, absolutely.

I've never heard this term Time's Up movement.

Anyone else heard of this?

The entire interview is interesting.

So lemme see if I have this straight. School disciplinary actions are unfair because they disproportionately involve blacks, and "disparate impact" and all that. But the fact that they also disproportionately involve boys is A-OK, because boys cause more trouble.

Do I have that right?

It's the reality, it *is* the story here. Not ARs, not age of purchase, not gunzz, period. Obviously.

And enough of this has leaked *through* the press's barrier that the public well understands Broward County and the FBI are the scandalous actors here (that being a different category than the evil perpetrator, whose responsibility remains total and indefensible).

I guessed/hoped a few days ago that by the time of the "march" in DC, it would be a gigantic debacle for the authoritarians, precisely because at that point the mega-scandal of Broward County and the FBI would be the entire story. Still might happen. But FFS, the WH and other GOP should not miss one opportunity to force a focus on this, they should be relentlessly flogging the truth and by now ridiculing the "gun control" idiocy.

144 This kind of thing is going on all over the country, in every school K-12, via federally or state supported programs. That's not just hyperbole either; it's simple fact. And it's all because of data.

I work with data and I get that data can be useful, but these people - governments, school administrations, parents, students - have vested data with an almost supernatural level of power; as if changing the data is going to change reality. That's what was going on here. "If we change the data so it looks like our students aren't getting in trouble with the law, then we'll get more money from the gov't for having improved our youth delinquency data, AND those students will have fewer barriers to success as they progress through life because they won't have a juvenile arrest record! Win/win!"

Yeah. "Win/win." Except, of course, that "not arresting" a student is not the same as the student "staying out of trouble." They are, in fact, wildly different. Diminishing the level of student/police involvement doesn't change the crime that's been committed. Vandalism is still vandalism, even if the new "school code" is to call it "unauthorized alteration of fixed surfaces," and the punishment goes from arrest, sentencing, and community service to a chat in the principal's office, a paint bucket, and a healing circle. Assault is still assault even if the school code is to call it "escalated confrontation" and the punishment goes from arrest, sentencing, and several months in juvie, to a chat in the principal's office, a healing circle, crayons, and a lollipop.

REALITY DOESN'T CHANGE.

But what these measures are meant to do, beyond merely redefining terms, is to try and fool people into believing reality HAS changed. "Wow, the number of students arrested at this school is really low according to this pretty, colorful bar chart on the district's website, honey!" Until you start actually digging into the data, which is probably buried on NCES somewhere, two years out of date, and behind a half dozen different filters that you need a Statistics degree to sort out. But it's all good and legal and proper and has been worked out between the state and the feds to satisfy the requirements of ESEA (or ESSA), with the understanding that improving numbers means access to more funding to exploit "best practices."

It's the same playbook they use for climate change, gun violence, poverty, you name it. You can make data do anything you want when you're the one who controls the definitions. Data's only as good as its definitions, and if you put garbage in you're going to get garbage out.

Add in Aiding an Abetting an illegal to stay? Which is a FELONY?

Then add in its illegal to HIRE an Illegal...

Enforce those laws? and we would not have the 20-30 MILLION illegals we have here. (which yearly kill a LOT more people than school shooters do)...

You're missing the point. The School district entered into an agreement with local law enforcement at the highest levels to avoid arrests and record keeping on incidents. There is confiscated property acquired from these "non-incidents" that is just sitting in the holding bins at these police departments just gathering dust because to return it to the owner would require explaining where it came from.

162 Hey, I've got a novel approach to breaking the skool to prison pipeline.
Howzabout you don't commit any crimes that'll put you in prison? Think maybe that'd work?

It says a lot about the intellect of the previous administration that they believed all children do the same things at the same rate and only systemic racism could explain the disparate outcomes. I don't think they actually believed it, nor do I think the Broward folks responsible for implementing this nonsense believed it. Broward took the money, which makes them amoral whores, and Obama's minions were just throwing monkey (I denounce myself) wrenches into the machine to fuck things up.

The FBI, like most bureaucracies, is filled with sub-par schlubs making time to retirement and can't be assed to do their jobs on the off chance that something bad might happen if they don't, so they didn't. Guess what, nothing bad will happen to them, so they're right. They aren't the ones dead on the floor of a school, so it's all good.

Browards finest wait outside while the massacre unfolds.
Some say they were ordered there. Others say they are cowards. No matter, the kids who depended on those officers to be there for them died because they weren't but...

Hey! I know! Let's blame 5 million gun owners who weren't there!

They don't "believe" that. They (Holder/Obama/Jarrett/Hillary/Lynch etc) do not for one moment believe that. They create a narrative that stupid people want to believe to create the chaos.

Fast and Furious was the "tell." They provided guns to Mexican druggies so that they would kill people and they'd advance gun control.

The media is responsible for advancing the narrative that little Trayvon was a victim. They wanted riots and went to Sanford, into black churches, to try to get it to happen. That and the BLM/Missouri etc etc events were "created" by the Obama/Holder justice department on the thinnest grounds. The LOVE the street violence. What they're hoping for is big violence and for the normals to get scared and react violently. The communists have wanted a race war here since before the 1930s. Read "Native Son."

Start with reviewing the notorious failures of law enforcement/public administration behind previous, recent infamous shooters. The TX church guy (Air Force not forwarding relevant info to background check system); Fort Hood killer (massive, systematic failure to deal with a dangerous nutcase); even the Tucson shooter - who was well known to much LE as a dangerous kook, and probably only was able to get his gun to kill (not an AR, like Fort Hood killer too, BTW) because his mother was connected to local DEM sheriff.

Very disappointed, a little surprised that Trump and other GOP have not taken aholt of this thing and slammed reality into the media with it. Public is not panicked or demanding confiscation or bans. What we have here is a GOP/WH reaction that could have come from either Bush.

Richard Wright (who obama credits for making way for him) lectures us via his commie fiction that it's society that made Bigger Thomas kill his boss's daughter and burn her body in the furnace, then rape and leave his girlfriend to freeze and masturbate in the movies. It's because society is racist. The speech that explains this is the mirror opposite of John Galt's speech in Atlas Shrugged.

It was written in the late 30s and would sound completely in character for the current democrats. Except it was delivered by a communist before WWII.

228 the policy derives from the repeated canard that somehow not punishing black children in school for violations of the rules will keep them from criminality.

But human nature being what it is and children being what they are, once they found out they could get away with something they repeated it.

The gangs found out that by a certain time of the month the "quotas" for crime would be filled and any others caught would be let go.

so they planned their biggest crimes then and used those in school.

it's called playing the system.

Leftists believe everyone is a saint inside and punishes those who don't agree for being mean.

The right believe everyone's a sinner and makes it difficult to sin and punishes the sinner.

250 Also, we need a federal school voucher system that let's parents bypass this nonsense.

I would have GLADLY made the tax reform package have less corporate tax cuts if it included some nationwide voucher program.

Our state has a great program in that you get a dollar for dollar tax credit when you donate to a private school and you can do it in a student's name for a scholarship. Lots pf people who normally wouldn't be able to afford to go to a private Christian school can and it saves the state oodles of money.

2) The Follower Level: These are the true believers who take everything the Leader Level says as gospel. These are the people who worship Obama as a literal god; Hillary as an old, crotchety Icarus who flew too near to sun!Trump and his evil, misogynistic, racist, homophobic, Islamophobic Deplorables; Linda Sarsour as a powerful voice for women; Trayvon Martin as a blessed martyr who was Too Good For This World; etc, etc, etc.

Be prepared. Like Kurt Schlicter says: buy guns, ammo and join the NRA.

Protests won't work, reasonable tweets, email or letters won't work.

Demonstrate your position by joining a firearms owners org such as GOA or NRA and buy a firearm and ammo.

they watch those stats and they have backed off before.

If I remember correctly, Barky tried to get the Washington DC program shut down mid-school year, meaning the kids in school that January when Barky took office (became ruler according to Valjar) would not be able to stay in their schools with the vouchers until June, they had to go back to their former schools.

Mind you these were minority youth who were being affected, and nobody absolutely nobody cared what was happening to them. I think the compromise was that they could finish out the school year, but then it was back to the public schools they had just escaped from.

Come dip-netting season, Freddies has the big coolers and the nice dipnets with the one flat side so it doesn't roll on the bottom of the river, and a nice selection of filet knives, if you don't have an ulu (which is much superior). I got one of those enormous plastic cutting boards there to clamp down on my fish-cutting table--very handy.

Also, they sell fishing and hunting licenses, so that counter gets a pretty good workout in season.

352 you know, this is the 1960s all over: criminals are really victims of society; racism poverty and oppression; war on poverty; gun control to combat rising violent crime...

there was in particular the idea that you don't want to ruin some kid's life because he made one mistake, so treat him as a first time offender and seal the records. After a while, they caught on that they could keep committing crimes and would always be treated as a first time offender. Seems like Cruz was a first time offender about 35 times.

anyway, same goal: push the capitalist system to the brink, replace with humane socialism. Don't even need a revolution, just give enough people reason to vote for more and more government.

362 I think if what records that exist in Parkland and others are dug into we'll see that quotas were established for just how many arrests were to be done each month. And that students and other criminals figured that out and knew that once the month's quota was reached anything goes.

I say what records exist because the whole point of the "Promise" program was to not have any records exist except ones showing that they were improving-lowering their arrest score every year. Taht can only be done by not recording crimes as crimes.

Started in NYC (I think) and then went to Chicago when the last police superintendent brought it with him from NYC.

Basically is you don't take a crime report from a victim, you don't have a crime, and voila! Your crime stats get better each and every year.

The one crime that's hard to cover up, not that they don't try, is murder. Those dead bodies pile up. The Second City Cop blog and another Chicago blog, Hey Jackass! have been covering this new innovative way of crimefighting for a couple of years now.

399 Getting practical, the exit/partial exit of the big box stores from elements of the gun market might be a small boost to the gun stores, which mostly have the margins, "market security", and prospects of a restaurant (not good).

Not good for consumer pricing. But once any panic effect fades, AR prices for example will mostly likely return to their cheap levels. Online sources will keep the gun stores in check (and on the brink, in many cases).

402 I know a guy -- can't post his name here, sorry -- who is basically a liberal, but who accidentally because a hero to copnservatives because he posted on his blog in the early 2000s a first-hand account (written by a client of his) of what it was like to be a teach in inner-city schools that implemented an early version of this "restorative justice" scheme.

My friend is (or was, at least) a "career counselor" and "life coach" -- you went to him if you wanted to get a new category of job and change the direction of your life. One day a new client walked in and said that he NEEDED to change careers -- he was a high school teacher, and just couldn't stand it any more. As part of the "counseling" sessions, my friend asked him what was wrong with his current job. And the client told this jaw-dropping tale of what a teacher has to endure these days in inner-city schools.

My friend was so blown away by this guy's story that he asked him to write it up as a first-person essay. he then uploaded the story to his business-blog (with the client's permission, but leaving his name off).

The post went completely viral in the early days of blogs. Conservatives hailed the essay and a game-changer; leftists attacked my friend as a traitor and villain. The explosion of hate was so strong that my friend pretty much changed political orientations overnight, and joined the conservative side.

The essay, which you've probably read, as it made the rounds extensively back in the day, described in vivid detail the horrifying levels of disrespect, threatened violence, actual violence, racial animosity, and entitlement exhibits by inner-city students. I shan't go into specifics.

But basically it was already bad even over a decade ago. Very. very bad. The worst students don't get expelled or even punished, and they KNOW they are immune. So they run wild, and get worse.

BUT: Broward county description of how they would do this program is damning. They even put on paper that they would ignore some violent acts, robbery etc. Bunch of lazy liberal parents to let that happen and not even notice they are sending Dick and Jane to a lot more dangerous school day than what they had and what should be expected in a rich county like that.

Bingo.

We are actually already in a shooting war.

The Left is now trying to cut off the arms supply of the Right by confiscating their guns. Meanwhile. the Left is simultaneously trying get as many violent criminals out of jail as possible, so those act as the "shock troops" for the "revolution."

The goal is to have the armed criminals overwhelm the law-abiding citizenry, on a military level. Then and only then can the Revolution be completed as planned. They need to quell the final armed resistance. Too cowardly to do it on their own, they release the attack dogs of the underclass on the unarmed middle class.

458 Was a teacher long enough to see major changes take place from the 1990s -- when teachers still had the authority to impose consequences and run their own classrooms -- to the end of the '0-0''s -- when administrators were hired by the dozen while we still bought out own supplies, and they told us pretty much what we could and couldn't do.

For instance at last job, was to call an administrator, who may or may not be in our building, and have her come pick up a disruptive student rather than imposing discipline myself. (you can just imagine the merriment that ensued each time.) I was seen as a trouble-maker when I suggested otherwise and finally decided to get out of the biz.

And during that time, taught in enough inner-city schools to feel the hostility and entitlement that was directed at white teachers by black students and parents... not pretty.

know who comes up with these policies? Education academics like Bill Ayres, who haven't been in a classroom for decades, if ever.

Posted by: Risking our lives for meh at March 01, 2018 07:47 PM (PKKw0)

459 Since i'm bitching about schools -- one more.

At the last innercity school I taught, I was still a hold-the-line, broken-windows-theory teacher as much as allowed, in my sped class. But of course since it was racist to have all those black kids set aside in a class geared to their needs, they gave the room to a black teacher they just hired and put all my kids into the regular ed, remedial class, with the rest of the behavior kids (the ones who weren't sped.)

Which I still might have been able to kinda handle, except I had to team with a teacher who saw me, the sped teacher (credentialed in her subject, too, as well as others) as her aide...would not get together with me on planning, had no rules, and after 6 weeks, dropped her crummy lesson plan on my desk and said, 'here -- you teach this tomorrow.'

You can imagine that, after being her "aide' (don't even mention the completely useless principal having a role in this) for 6 weeks, the class was an unruly mess and no one would have had any respect for me, so I said no. Won't go into the hilarity that ensued next, but you can imagine being teamed with someone who buys into all this 'can't punish the black kids" when you're an older, trad, teach-like-I-was-taught type. Just one more thing the 'experts' did to make our lives miserable.

you'll find most districts have pretty much purged themselves of older, wiser teachers in favor of malleable, just-of-of-school, pc types who share the administration's ideology (which boils down to 'Don't make the black kids -- or parents -- mad.") But it is nice to see the free ride the black kids have gotten all these years exposed to the public. (Won't even mention how muslim kids could leave the class at will and roam the halls indefinitely whenever they wanted, as they 'had to pray.')

Did we complain to unions? hahahahah -- you mean the ones who never met a leftist fad they didn't like because they didn't have to teach it? The union that once threatened to sic their legal dept on me when I called a rep 'corrupt' for putting the union over the teachers? Riiiight.
