'Does Nikolas Cruz deserve to die?': School just 10-minutes away from Parkland shooting slammed for insensitive quiz
A reading comprehension quiz controversially titled "Does Nicolas Cruz Deserve to Die?" given to students at a school just 10 minutes away from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida has been slammed across various social media platforms.
The Washington Post reports that the quiz, which first appeared in an October issue of the New York Times Upfront magazine — a current events magazine intended for classroom use — was distributed this past week to students at the Coral Glades High School, which is only a 10-minute drive from the school where Nicolas Cruz gunned down 17 victims on Valentine's day.

Today 9th graders at a school just 10 minutes from the Stoneman Douglas shooting were given this assignment.
Crazy idea, don’t give kids assignments on the shooter that killed their friends? pic.twitter.com/eq146gUYJc
