ACT 2:
Reporters call out Broward County for its “chilling” of free speech:
Broward’s school board two-fer: chilling free speech rights AND using the courts to bully citizenshttps://t.co/GN3QAE2cjS pic.twitter.com/1nRXdjHp2A

ACT 3:
The Sun Sentinel endorses incumbent school board member Donna Korn, who “didn’t stand up for the First Amendment,” over Ryan Petty, who lost his daughter in the attack but is also against an assault weapons ban:
TFW an editorial board can’t stomach a Second Amendment candidate but sticks by an incumbent on a school board that’s declaring war on the First Amendment —and on the paper itselfhttps://t.co/GN3QAE2cjS pic.twitter.com/ir8fydjdub

ACT 4:
Where’s the outrage from fellow journalists so eager to bash President Trump as a threat to journalism now?
If you
1) once reported all things Parkland and
2) now are back to fretting about Trump as a threat to journalism, but
3) are also ignoring the Broward school board’s First Amendment assault over the Parkland shooter, then
You’re doing it wrong https://t.co/GN3QAE2cjS pic.twitter.com/syEtDwrTg7
