This is outrageous and reeks of scapegoating. Raising suspicion of administrators and teachers is political propaganda.

There is only one person that pulled the trigger that day at the high school and that was Nicholas Cruz (click here). The only others responsible for the killing that day at the high school were the myriad of elected officials that pander to the NRA for money and in exchange open danger to the public. I am quite confident there is no investigation of them.

To imply because a principal was off work the day 17 of his students died and somehow he is responsible is irresponsible and slanderous. Broward County needs to end its investigation with the killer and the circumstances that allowed him to kill 17 high school students. I am quite confident no administrator or teacher is involved. These people are hired with thorough background checks unlike the gun owner of the weapon that killed that day.

There was a time in the USA when gun ownership was limited to hunting shotguns and rifles. Handguns required strict background checks and licensing. Ownership of military assault rifles was highly regulated for any civilian. That is the real issue, isn't it? There simply weren't enough gun sales then to satisfy the NRA.

Broward County Public Schools (click here) will expand its investigation into the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, to include the principal Ty Thompson, the county school district spokeswoman told CNN.

Thompson was not at the school on February 14, 2018, when a gunman stormed the campus and killed 17 people.

While there have been no accusations made against Thompson, the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission is investigating the staff in the wake of the shooting. This will include a review of the principal's actions or lack of actions, said Kathy Koch, spokeswoman for the Broward County Schools. The investigation is expected to be done by the end of the school year, she added.

During the investigation, Thompson will remain at the school "to focus on recovery efforts and to provide oversight on the construction of the new replacement building," according to a statement from Broward County Public Schools. While he will be able to participate in student activities and events, the school's other principal, Teresa Hall will handle day-to-day operations and a former principal at the high school, Dan Traeger, will provide additional oversight, according to the school district....
