Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School building 1200 to be demolished
For more than six years, the 1200 building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School sat untouched like a time capsule, with its classrooms still filled with dried blood and students' strew’n papers.
This week, the site of the Parkland, Florida, mass shooting will be torn down -- a move two grieving moms say is long overdue.

The author makes an appeal to emotion when stating that 'The demolition of the building where my daughter Gina and so many others lost their lives is a necessary part of moving forward.' This statement does not provide any logical reasoning for why the demolition is necessary, but rather elicits an emotional response. However, since this is the only fallacy found and it does not significantly impact the overall content of the article, I am scoring it a 95.

Fallacies

The article contains some instances of appeals to emotion and inflammatory rhetoric, but no formal logical fallacies were identified. The author describes the building as a 'horrific and constant reminder' and states that students find it 'eerie' to see it. These are emotional appeals intended to elicit sympathy from the reader. Additionally, the article mentions that some parents want to preserve the building as a memorial, while others want it demolished. This is presented as a divergence of views without any logical reasoning given for either position.

Bias
(95%)
The article does not demonstrate any clear bias towards a specific political, religious, ideological or monetary position. However, the author uses language that depicts the building as a 'horrific and constant reminder' and describes the victims' families as having 'divergent views'. This could be seen as an attempt to elicit an emotional response from readers without taking a clear stance on the issue. The article also mentions that some families wanted to preserve the building for safety improvements, while others wanted it demolished for healing purposes. The author does not take a position on which view is correct or incorrect.
But other parents, like Max Schachter and Tony Montalto, hoped the building would be preserved.
