Hide, deny, spin, threaten: How the school district tried to mask failures that led to Parkland shooting
Immediately after 17 people were murdered inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the school district launched a persistent effort to keep people from finding out what went wrong.
For months, Broward schools delayed or withheld records, refused to publicly assess the role of employees, spread misinformation and even sought to jail reporters who published the truth.
New information gathered by the South Florida Sun Sentinel proves that the school district knew far more than it’s saying about a disturbed former student obsessed with death and guns who mowed down staff and students with an assault rifle on Valentine’s Day.
After promising an honest assessment of what led to the shooting, the district instead hired a consultant whose primary goal, according to school records, was preparing a legal defense. Then the district kept most of those findings from the public.

This entire story is a lie. Trump, Jr. was explicitly asked whether the Trump Organization was pursuing a plan to develop a Trump Tower in Moscow in 2016. His answer: "Yes." He even offered to give the 2015 LOI signed by Trump to Judiciary investigators.

Washington Post readers freak out after paper prints Ivanka Trump op-ed
Washington Post readers roasted the publication Friday for running an op-ed from first daughter and White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump about the "bold action" the Trump administration has taken to combat human trafficking.
The op-ed laid out the administration's work prosecuting traffickers, helping victims, and cutting off aid to countries that it says have not done enough on the issue. But hundreds of readers said in the comments section they were outraged it was published at all.
As of noon Friday, the op-ed had 3,000 comments. The notes ranged from criticizing the Post for running the piece and ripping Trump herself.
"WAPO, how could you provide a platform to this feckless cow?" one commenter wrote.
Another asked why Trump would "care about the slaves who work in her Asian sweatshops."
"I can only conclude that the Washington Post editors for the opinion section published this due to a strong sense of irony that they decided would be shared by readers," said a third reader.
A reader who went by the name "SoSadExpat" said the Post had "outdone" itself by publishing Trump's op-ed.
