A tragedy is always hard to forget. For those who lose a son or daughter due to a crime, it is even worse.

Earlier this year, a shooter stormed the Covenant School in Nashville and shot several students and staff at the school, killing three kids and three teachers.

The suspect was killed on scene and later named as Audrey Hale, a transgender woman who considered herself to be a man.

Though Hale’s hate-filled manifesto was never released, with the FBI saying it was too disturbing and likely to cause violence.

Now, Hale’s own parents say they’re sick of that argument and want it released.

Hale’s parents want the manifesto released. They have also requested to come to speak out to the school children about the tragedy their daughter caused.

Ronald and Norma, Hale’s parents, claim they are entitled to access their daughter’s documents and said they have an interest in handing over such documents to the Covenant children.

Technically the truth is a bit different.

Under Tennessee state law, Hale’s parents are not entitled to access to their daughter’s documents, because since she is a person who committed a crime, the documents have become the property of the state.

After Hale’s murders, the police searched her home and found a number of written records such as notes, memoirs, sketchbooks, and diaries.

There was a great commotion from the media for both the Nashville police and the FBI to come forward and release the contents of Hale’s documents after the shooting.

Authorities said it was too dangerous and could incite more violence.

Critics say it’s being buried in order to cover up just how horrible and dangerous far left violence can be. It’s interesting to ask why Hale’s parents want to have the manifesto released and come speak to students.

The open wound in the Covenant School will never be healed, nor will the bleeding Hale caused be stopped by releasing the manifesto.

At the same time, it’s necessary for public transparency to have this hate fully exposed.
