And with respect to this Parkland School - isn't it easy to check whether who are being called 'crisis actors' are legitimate students that have been and are enrolled at the school? Wouldn't that put to rest the claims that these young spokespersons aren't bused in to the area to speak to gun reform issues?

the NTSB used them to stage mock plane crashes so rescue agencies could practice crisis control and response. But it was well-known and well-publicized as practice.

The first I remember hearing of assholes accusing real people of being actors was from Sandy Hook.
