"The fake reports surrounding these survivors are plentiful, and whichever side you are on it is your responsibility to fact check. What is painfully ironic about these fabricated posts is that they are shared by a large number of Donald Trump supporters, who are easy to back Trump’s attack on “fake news.”"

"It was my freshman year of high school. Nov. 1, 2010. I remember sitting in a row towards the back in the dimly lit theater when the news was announced. One of the seniors had been shot over the weekend at a Halloween house party and died shortly after in Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, Texas. There would be counseling services available throughout the day to anyone who needed them and funeral arrangements would be announced shortly.

"As of Feb. 21, there have already been 34 mass shootings in 2018, 18 of which were school shootings, and people still don’t think we need gun control. Hundreds of citizens are now on a mission to finally change the U.S.’s corrupt system after the horrendous shooting in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. How many more people must die before President Donald Trump realizes that mental illness isn’t the problem, it’s really the overabundance of guns in this country?"

On Feb. 14, a former student went into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, and killed 17 people. In response, President Donald Trump tweeted that “no child, teacher or anyone else should ever feel unsafe in an American school.” That would be a nice sentiment, but the problem is that this was the 18th school shooting in the United States in 2018. The problem is that no one is surprised when these shootings occur. The problem is that nothing ever changes.
