Parkland parents, students, I went to the Broward School Board to seek answers for the potential negligence by Superintendent and Board prior to the tragedy at Stoneman. Instead of addressing our concerns, they prevented us from speaking. Read on to understand why. pic.twitter.com/Ppomdtl3BA

David Hogg pretended to be a journalist hiding in a closet interviewing people. This kid actually is one.
Via BPR:
A handful of students from Stoneman Douglas High School were elevated by the national media because they were quick to call for gun control and attack the NRA, but this effort has distracted from looking closer to home for answers to a shooting that claimed 17 lives.
The media has shown little interest in accurately reporting on a failure to keep the students safe, but a local student journalist, Kenneth Preston, has made a damning case against Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie and the school board — only to be met with attempts to intimidate and silence him.
Preston took advantage of social media to shine a light on this campaign, sharing a video of his remarks before the Broward County School Board — Preston’s effort has resulted in a ton of accolades online.
That a 19-year-old student journalist pulled this feat off should be a source of shame for the “professionals.”
