TEACHERS, students and the US’s three education unions have reacted with horror and sympathy to the latest school massacre, where former Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Nikolas Cruz, 19, killed 17 people — 14 students, two teachers who saved other students, and the school’s athletic director — in Parkland, Florida.
But the most passionate reaction came from a surviving student, Sarah — no last name — in a tweet after Donald Trump posted his condolences too.
“My prayers and condolences to the families of the victims of the terrible Florida shooting. No child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school,” tweeted Trump. He plans to visit the school, located in a Fort Lauderdale suburb, later.
