Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: UPDATE! Fred Guttenberg: "I absolutely cannot support @BernieSanders [View all]skh500
(21 posts)I am very sorry Mr Guttenberg lost his child at Parkland, but he needs to understand what really happened.
The school district was totally negligent! The shooter was diagnosed at 3yrs of age and Broward county was suppose to provide special education services to him. They failed to provide the necessary services mandated by Federal and State Statute. Tallahassee did cite them in violation of the law after the shooting occurred.
Prior to the time of the shooting Parkland school personnel had decided the special ed student should be in a more restrictive setting. However, they procrastinated for months and NEVER provided the services.....until the student finally dropped out.
According to the local papers in Broward, the school district spent something close to $76,000 on PR to cover up their neglect.
Mr Guttenberg needs to talk to the retired Director of Special Ed and get the real story!! Instead of bashing Bernie Sanders. The one candidate who has helped people and talked the same line for 40 yrs.
He is probably more of a democrat (progressive) than most dems. Sen Reid selected him "Chair" of Veterans Affairs and he was awarded numerous awards by the vets. He was the ranking member of budget committee. That is more dem "Leadership" than a lot of dems. He is also noted as the Amendment King when in the House. Isn't he the one who just recently shamed Jeff Bezos (Amazon) into paying his employees $15.00 an hour?
The school district is the one to blame....not Bernie Sanders!!
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
