Times are tough for teachers, even now. So many guns, in the home. Better to be safe then sorry. I agree,with checking, on the child.....but no way, should the child, be suspended. I bet this teacher, feels bad, so next time there is an issue, teachers may not report it.
How stupid can people be? They suspended the kid. A kid that has ADHD, that has a hard enough time with school as it is so they kick him out of it? Way to go. I wonder if the teacher is a racist. She saw a black kid pick up a toy gun and move it aside and that was enough to trigger her.
They also sent the dreaded, feared, hated, trigger happy racist Police to a black kids house where he likes to "wave guns around" ? We are lucky that the Police had more common sense then the school did.
We are in real trouble when common sense is allowed to be over run by political correctness.

“More common sense?”
They threatened him with possible charges.
He’s very lucky he didn’t end up like Tamar Rice.
“The Elliotts said their son was traumatized by deputies telling the 12-year-old his behavior could’ve led to criminal charges and might in the future if he were to do something similar again.“

I went to elementary school in the 70s. We regularly brought pocket knives to school as well as cap guns. By high school many guys drove their truck to school with a gun rack that had their shotgun and rifle inside. Now some teachers wet their pants at the sight of a toy or even a drawing of a gun. Heck some teachers have come down on students for a finger gun or a pop tart eaten into the shape of a gun and even a girl’s “bubble blowing gun”.

I remember in high school, in the early 90s, it was common for some kids to bring pocket knives to school, I never saw any problems arise due to them having knives though, not a single time!

Given the school shootings, I do appreciate the need to be vigilant but, these kids (there were actually two separate similar incidents in CO) were at home and this raises all sorts of privacy issues.
If virtual school is going to be a thing moving forward, it has to be made clear exactly where the line gets drawn.
Do parents give up all rights to privacy when they sign up for online school?
And if so, WTH?

Well nobody shot up the school back when you to had to walk to school up hill both ways carrying a sack of potatoes.

Haha. So funny. Such things didn’t happen even during my parents’ time in public school.
