In case anybody has forgotten, the PROMISE Program is the one in south Florida schools that Obama created, to keep criminal, minority schoolkids from getting expelled and arrested, and thereby developing criminal records.
Nicholas Cruz is one of those kids who benefitted from the PROMISE Program. Although involved in various crimes, those crimes went unpunished, because of the leniency of the program. And since the crimes went unpunished, they therefore also went unrecorded, which allowed Cruz to buy guns in gun stores, from unsuspecting clerks who knew nothing about Cruz's behavior. To them, he looked like a nice, law-abiding fella, thanks to Obama's coverup program.
Initially, the Parkland victims' parents were blaming the Broward Sheriff’s Office, and especially Scot Peterson, the school resource officer who didn't go into the school building, where the shooting took place. Eventually, with the passage of some time, despite efforts by both the Sheriff's Office, the school board to hide the PROMISE Program, and its role in the massacre, the truth made its way to the surface.
So now, the parents, upset about the way Cruz was sheltered by the PP, and given a free pass to buy guns (despite a long record of run-ins with the law), have decided to run for school board positions themselves. They feel that the school board and its PROMISE Program, had a major role in allowing the tragic situation to occur. Lori Alhadeff, who lost her daughter, Alyssa, and Ryan Petty, who lost his daughter, Alaina, announced their candidacies side-by-side on Tuesday, pledging to hold the district accountable for making its schools safe.
In reference to the PROMISE Program, Ms Alhadeff said “What has happened is, we’ve gone from complete extremes: from over-disciplining kids to not disciplining kids at all.” Referring to his decision to run for school board office, Mr Petty said “Like many of the families, we’ve dedicated ourselves to changing the system that would allow someone like Nikolas Cruz to slip through the cracks.”
It might even be fair to say that Scot Peterson, the SRO who didn't go inside the school at the time of the shooting, may be less at fault than was first assumed. Did he have orders to stand down from enforcing the law ? Well, he might have. That's what the PROMISE Program was all about > not taking action against lawbreakers in the schools. It was reported that a few other deputies from the BCSO showed up too, and also didn't go inside, all of them participants in the PROMISE Program leniency.
