This is very telling, not just about democrats but how divisive everything is. Very good observation!

The Dems, AKA mainstream media, are using these kids and parents to their advantage for the midterm elections. What better time to arrange and televise these meetings than when grief, in-mass turns to anger? Especially when the shout downs and name calling is encouraged! It was like a pep rally.

These people should be ashamed, I feel sorry for all of them who lost family or friends and really hope they find peace but right now they are being played.

The other said she would consider it but she has a lot of reservations & concerns. The rest said they studied to be teachers & they signed up to teach, they did not study to be police officers & take down a threat while trying to control their frantic crowd of students. l asked on Facebook and Miss Jessica replied: In sorry, but all this for the lowest professional pay on Earth? You must think us teachers are magic unicorn super spy mercenaries. Silly me- studied how kids learn to read instead. Its ok to put this in the job description, but I better get combat pay as well.
And Miss Trish said: I don't understand when it became part of a teacher's job to be personal bodyguards and security teams for kids. Isn't their job to teach? Instead of hanging out online calling people names & blaming this or that & only talking about personal responsibility, how about we take some personal responsibility by at least talking TO the teachers and staff that we are talking ABOUT.

Guess I don't understand? You asked 9 and 3 sounded like maybes. A possible 33% sounds pretty good to me

Fox News says CNN didn't script their town hall, at least not the way the one kid claimed that they did.

Dozens of conservative websites called the network's Feb. 21 town hall forum scripted after Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School junior Colton Haab skipped the event and said the network had told him what question to ask. The websites call it proof the forum was slanted against gun rights. President Donald Trump tweeted about it on Friday, saying "Just like so much of CNN, Fake News!"

CNN countered with a release of email exchanges between producer Carrie Stevenson, Colton Haab and his father Glenn and accused Glenn Haab of deliberately altering email sent to Fox News and the Huffington Post.

In one exchange, 17-year-old Colton Haab proposes several questions to ask at the town hall, including one on whether to arm teachers. His father, a Republican gun owner, later emailed Stevenson a four-page document with a roughly 700-word speech and a series of questions he said Colton wanted to ask.



CNNs Stevenson told the father the additional language he proposed was "way too long" and Colton would need to stick to the question "that he/Colton Haab submitted." The words "that he submitted" were left off the email sent to Fox News and Huffington Post.
