"Application for ‘March for Our Lives’ permit was made months before Parkland school shooting," read the
headline on Fellowship of the Minds, a website that pushes conspiracy theories and religious ideas.
The screenshot of the email pictured in the article was credited to
James Fetzer, a philosophy of science professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth who has promoted various conspiracy theories, including denying the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting, the Boston Marathon bombing and the Holocaust.
However, when we contacted Officer Scott C. Earhardt, he said that he had mistakenly mixed up the annual D.C.-based March for Life rally that happened in January with the more recent March for Our Lives demonstration in the email.
Earhardt told PolitiFact that the story is not factual and that the permit for March for Our Lives was issued on March 13.
