Topic: Freedom High School

A guest speaker at a high school discussed the definition of propaganda and its roots in the work of Edward Bernays. The presentation covered the 1929 "Torches of Freedom" campaign and how communication is used to influence human emotions. Students identified Donald Trump as a primary modern example of a propagandist due to his use of slogans and symbolic apparel.

Following the President's "lone wolf" warnings, Tampa police arrested 17-year-old Jared Kano for allegedly planning a massacre at Freedom High School. Authorities claimed to have found bomb-making materials and a manifesto, though details on the materials were sparse. The suspect's name, Jared, drew immediate comparisons in the media to Tucson shooter Jared Loughner.
