Former President Barack Obama penned a letter to the parents of a Parkland teacher who was killed protecting his students during a school shooting.
Michael Schulman and Linda Beigel Schulman received a letter from Obama earlier this month, according to New York Magazine. Their son, Scott Beigel, was a 35-year-old geography teacher and cross country coach at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. He was one of 17 people killed on Feb. 14.
“Your son seemed like an extraordinary young man, and Michelle and I grieve alongside you,” the letter reportedly said. “We can only imagine the hardship you are going through; hopefully all the wonderful memories can help ease the pain. We’ll get the details about your fund in his honor. In the meantime, you are in our thoughts and prayers.”
The handwritten note was signed by Barack Obama.
Linda Beigel Schulman told the magazine that she has not heard from current President Donald Trump.
“I received no correspondence whatsoever. I received nothing from the White House. I got a beautiful letter from Marco Rubio,” she said. “I’ve gotten letters from other congressmen. But no, nothing from the president.”
