Progressive school teachers suspend young kid for having a toy gun IN HIS OWN BEDROOM!

[Paradoxical]

The video is protected by FERPA... The only thing we have is the description from the deputy...

View attachment 67294582

That's all the teacher and the deputy had to make a decision what to do... Do you see the description? "pointing what appears to be a black handgun at the computer screen and pulling the trigger"...

I saw a photo of it. A blind person could tell it was a toy.

THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN AFTER... Not before, AFTER...

YOu need to read the 4th amendment again. It restricts what the state can do.
IE without permission they cannot turn on your camera.

a private person as a right to be secure in their own home.
the school violated that right.

If Biden wins, start kissing those liberties goodbye, along with our right as non-leftists, to criticize the left. That example of leftist tyranny has already largely been accomplished in our universities, and some schools. In cities where they've consolidated power, you can be arrested for using legal/political terms that the left don't want us to use("illegal alien" for instance), or "misgendering" someone. Naturally, "hate speech" laws will NOT be applied to leftists, even when they specifically organize violent riots, dox people, etc. So much for fair, equal, open minded, liberal values.

My, my, my... Just went all in on the overreaction right out of the gate, just like momma... It's not as exciting when you read the actual police report...

Redacted_DEPUTY_REPORT.pdf | DocDroid

The toy guns in the picture I saw look like toy guns to me. The teacher emailed the mother that the boy was not paying attention during class and was playing with what appeared to be a toy gun. The mother replied it was just a toy and only later found out that an SRO was coming out to the school, who confirmed it was a toy gun. The SRO visited the home and spoke with the father and the boy, advising the seriousness of the situation and that such incident could result in criminal charges in the future. The SRO met with the mother the next day, advising the same, that the boy could potentially face criminal charges for “Interference of staff, faculty or students of educational institutions.”

The boy was suspended for 5 days and the Sheriff’s office will perform a welfare check. His school records will show "a facsimile of a firearm to school" even though he was at home doing virtual learning and will show the 5-day suspension. The mother has withdrawn her son from school and is looking to enroll him elsewhere.

I can understand black parents being completely compliant and understanding of the school’s concern and the officer’s involvement considering they could very well be fearful of an armed LEO coming to the home for any reason.

To me, there is still the issue of a virtual at-home space being considered a classroom in all legal sense, as if school property, and thus under and subject to school control.

And you think I overreacted. I hope you just think such and don't act like the school did if you should ever see a similar scene of some kind.

As ridiculous as the ^title sounds, it's actually MUCH worse than that, there just wasn't enough room in the title box to fit all the ridiculousness!

A young kid living in Colorado Springs, was sitting on his own sofa, at home during a VIRTUAL school lesson. At some point, he was seen with a plastic airsoft TOY GUN. The teacher had an irrational knee-jerk reaction to this "terrible sight", and reported it to her equally irrational principal. The principal suspended the kid for 5 freaking days, AND called the police on him!

The teacher ADMITTED that "she suspected it was a TOY, but she was concerned for her class's safety"! Because toy guns can shoot VIRTUAL rubber airsoft pellets through the internet! Oy vey...

The also-irrational/progressive police officer shows up to the kid's home, harasses the family, scares the kid, and tells him that "this is likely to result in serious criminal charges for you"!

The parents are putting their son in another school. But if the teacher's unions have their way, that won't be an option! Remind me who the "fascists" are?

Jesus. This is PC SJW crap going too far. I see the problem though. The kid is black and lefties are racists.

It pains me to have to agree with you but when you're right, you're right, and too many Americans have bought into the notion that fascism is left wing, which it is not and never has been. Their History teacher, whether they know it or not, is Jonah Goldberg, who first floated the theory in his book "Liberal Fascism".

It's since been copied mostly by Dinesh D'Souza and Dennis Prager as well as a slew of other Trump water carriers and Tea Party trolls.

Superficial semantics are usually what's most important to the left, whereas real actions and consequences are more important to, well, EVERYONE ELSE... We can argue the semantics of who the 'term' fascist most appropriately applies to. But I think the important thing is the actions and consequences of politically motivated, violent, oppressive, intimidating behavior, regardless of "which term" you use to describe it! Antifa purports to be "anti fascist", while literally using the SAME tactics of violence and intimidation to forcibly advance their radical left wing ideology! That sounds an awful lot like "fascism" to me! But these same "anti-fsscist" groups like Antifa and BLM will label nonviolent, traditional liberals as fascists! Rational people will agree that the semantics here are meaningless and irrelevant. The behavior is what's important.

I just visited this forum after reading a "news" article about how the "Pennsylvania health secretary admonished a reporter for 'misgendering' her". By that title, you'd think that the "big story" was that she was "misgendered" during a press conference! What a horrendous crime of SEMANTICS! But what this leftist "news" publication left out of the article, was that this health secretary and her boss, Governor Tom Wolfe, had ORDERED Covid19 patients be placed in nursing homes, amongst THE MOST susceptible population of people, which caused THOUSANDS of deaths, making up 70% of Covid19 deaths in PA! Worse yet, she had removed her own mother from one of these nursing homes before she could get sick, showing that she and Wolfe KNEW what would happen!

But the "news" outlet decided that her temporary offense at being misgendered was the big story, to the exclusion of the "other" (real)issue!

So much for semantics....

 

[Court Jester]

Typical liberal histrionic reaction to something (TOY guns) that the teacher did not approve of. So to deal with her displeasure about gun culture (toy gun culture as it turns out)--- upon seeing the toy gun during the distance learning class (art class btw), she basically weaponizes a school policy and starts the ball rolling to make her point. And as if on cue, everyone from the idiotic vice principal to the school resource officer (cops who aren't fit to generally to be on normal patrol duty), and on up to the local school district administration all back up the libtard art teacher and come off looking like the fools these overpaid public employees are.

Kids doing distance learning at home should not be playing with toys, cell phones, video games, or other distractions. But the way an ADULT teacher should handle this would be to say, "Johnny, put that toy away and sit up and pay attention to class" rather than making a Federal case out it. But my guess is that being it was a silly art class and the kid not interested, the teacher used the school policy to retaliate against a child. And to me the bigger question is why in the hell are they using distance learning resources for a damn art class in the first place? Math, science, history, reading---- those should be the priority during covid. Tell the damn art teacher she is being furloughed--- or give her the option to spend her time helping maintenance services paint the classrooms while the kids are not at school. Surely she knows how to use a paint brush if she is an art teacher.

So what makes you think the teacher and principal are progressive

NO, sorry. Look up "socialism."

Meh, you can keep'em both. Don't want either of them, thanks. Hard pass.

Besides, the federal government already has far too much power, far too much power over the electorate, far more so than they should, for quite a number of years already. That needs to be turned back as much as both Socialism and Communism, here in the US.

Body-worn camera footage released following backlash over student suspension due to toy gun in virtual class

The footage confirms the toy gun looks like a toy gun as the officer confirmed. The school said it is not their policy to record remote, in-home class but in this case the teacher chose to do so and such does not require parent approval for recording of instruction. I think, in my non-lawyerly opinion, the family has a good case. The action the school took went outside the bounds of instruction and invaded the privacy of the home into private action normal and usual to the home. Which is the greater concern of the matter than just the plain fact of the toy gun looking like and being a toy gun.
