A nine-year-old boy was suspended from school after a teacher spotted a BB gun in his room during an online lesson.
Ka Mauri Harrison, a pupil at Woodmere Elementary in Harvey, Louisiana, missed six days of teaching over the incident on 11 September.
He returned to class on Thursday, but his family's lawyer has accused education authorities of a "terrible overreaction".
Ka Mauri said he had been receiving an online lesson in his bedroom when his younger brother walked in and tripped over a BB gun.
“My brother walked in the room and tripped over the BB gun and I put it on the side of me,” the boy told WDSU.
Ka Mauri's teacher called out his name to ask about the BB gun, but he did not reply because his laptop was on mute while he tried to concentrate on the lesson, his family said.The teacher then reportedly disconnected the boy from the lesson. The child's teacher subsequently reported the incident, apprently concerned that the boy was in possession of an assault rifle. “Harrison left his seat (at home) momentarily, out of view of the teacher,” a Louisiana Department of Education report said. “When the student returned, he had what appeared to be a full-sized rifle in his possession. ”Officials at the department listed the incident as possession of "weapons prohibited under federal law”.
 

any they wonder why I don't trust big government. BB guns are legal I think? Or do they require permits and background checks too now? And it's his parents home (it's not like he brought it to school.
 
Suspending a remote learning student at home for violating zero-tolerance directives? That is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while, but it's been a couple decades since my children were in public school. Ooh hide your nail clippers kids. Or leave them out in the open if you need more free time.

Here in the Twin Cities metro area, it is imploding on itself for all to see.

Like many philosophies, at its beginning, there was good to come from these ideas, but somehow it went way over into absurdity.

Some of these cities, towns or burgs must have lots of money floating around, so they have decided to pay it out to lawyers and those charged who then sued these less than competent people. I like school teachers and believe that they serve a great purpose, but like I have always said, "School teachers are very intelligent people, but they lack common sense."
 
"If you see something, say something."

Maybe she was following this directive we've been told for years. No, he wasn't in the school building itself, but does that really matter when the teacher saw what she thought was firearm in the child's room?

She made a mistake, erred on the side of caution. The incident reported as possession of "weapons prohibited under federal law”, will be corrected or annotated for accuracy, now that the truth is known.

I don't see this as political, but as a matter of safety.
 
I guess by now everyone has seen on the news of the middle school football mother who went to the game to watch her kid play a game and was tasered and arrested for refusing to wear a mask. She was arrested and escorted off of school grounds. They keep calling him "Officer Smith." I think he is actually a school resource officer. The charge was 'criminal' trespass, I am doubtful of that. Here in PA, schools are public property. Criminal trespass in PA means someone came onto private property with the intent to do something illegal. It must be different in Ohio, but I do not know for sure.
