The Parkland Shooter had been in the Obama created PROMISE program. Superintendent Robert W. Runcie had said that this program did not exist in Broward County? You would think that he would know about this program. Mr. Runcie came up with this program in Chicago schools and that is why Broward hired him away. What is the real story behind this?

Everyone is starting to see how incompetent @RobertwRuncie is. Putting his personal gain before the safety of @browardschools students and teachers is coming to an end. Why don’t you come out and admit you had access to safety funds? 17 lives lost but nothing changed #SAD #FIXIT — Hunter Pollack (@PollackHunter) May 7, 2018

Superintendent Robert W. Runcie implemented the PROMISE Program in Broward County Public Schools in 2013 at the behest of the Obama administration’s efforts to reduce the number of minority students who ended up in prison from crimes that they committed on campus.

The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro analyzed a report from Real Clear Investigations and wrote that Broward County Public Schools “had rewritten its disciplinary policies to make it nearly impossible to suspend, expel, or arrest students for behavioral problems including criminal activity.”
