4th Grader Suspended For Having BB Gun
In His Room [At His House] During Virtual Class


Quote
A nine-year-old boy was suspended by his school because he had a BB gun in his bedroom, and it was
visible during an online class. Ka Mauri Harrison was taking a test on September 11, when his brother
walked into his bedroom and tripped over the toy gun. Ka Mauri picked up the gun, moved it off the floor,
and placed it next to him. His fourth-grade teacher at Woodmere Elementary School in Harvey, Louisiana,
saw the gun and contacted the school's principal.

School officials claimed that Ka Mauri violated school policy and possibly federal law, which
makes it illegal to possess a gun on school property, and tried to expel him.

...
After a hearing, officials decided to suspend Ka Mauri for six days. While his parents were glad he wasn't
expelled, they felt the school violated their privacy.
...
After learning about Ka Mauri's suspension, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry opened an
investigation into the case.

"I am alarmed by what appears to not only be multiple violations of both the State and Federal
Constitutions, but also blatant government overreach by the school system," said Landry. "I have
begun investigating this matter and plan to take action in defense of this young man and his
family and all families who could suffer the same invasion of their homes and constitutional rights."
...
Ka Mauri's parents are concerned about the impact the incident will have on their son. They said his
classmates were asked to write letters about the situation and that he was "embarrassed, and he felt
like he did something wrong."

His case has also been sent to a social worker who will conduct an assessment of the family.
Additionally, the incident will remain on his permanent record.

"It's going to follow him going to college, picking colleges and whatnot," Harrison said.

This is Louisiana right?
#1 a BB gun is not a toy.
I've killed many things with one.
I've also killed with slingshots, knives,
Bows and arrows,
and hunks of wood.
I've never killed with my bare fists and feet, but in my
youth, I probably could have.

This Louisiana school administration is an example of
where you should chain up all exits, and set fire to the building.
You then shoot anybody that escapes.
They are too Dogmatic to waste anymore air, food,
water, and energy on.

Just suggesting.

I of course would never violate any Constitutional Federal, state, or local laws.

If the SCHOOL wants to include BB guns, water guns and Pop-Tarts "kinda shaped sorta like a gun" in their definition of "gun", that's their right.

But, to extend their jurisdiction of "school property" to a child's room under his parent's roof demonstrates how the schools see students as "their children," not yours or mine.

Imagine -- a school doesn't allow knives, guns of any type, and cell phones in their classrooms.  Based on this story, it's believable that a school could have the local sheriff search the student's entire house for such "contraband".  After all, if the school can claim a child's room is 'school property", there would be nothing to stop them from claiming any and all properties in which their students reside are also under their control.

It's one thing to report a student who makes threats against the school or other students (or themselves).  It's another to report them for having LEGAL non-firearm BB guns in their parent's home under their parent's supervision.

Schools want to believe they have replaced parents and guardians.  If you disagree, they will report you to the authorities and have them invade your home to inspect it out of "safety concerns".

I'm sure this is the way things are run in many places, now that the schools have had to figure out online classes due to lockdowns.  Time to sever ties with the public indoctrination system and create a network of parents and education professionals.  Remote home schooling is the wave of the future.  I think the public teachers unions are getting nervous.  What school district one lives in is now 100% irrelevant.

While parents are home, there's no need to rely on schools to babysit during work hours.  When the lockdowns end, parents might decide that one of them staying home has more value than working a job that only pays taxes, transportation to work, with a little left over.  That little bit may not be as critical to their lives as getting their kids off the public propaganda plantation.

I signed this change.org petition for this boy.
But I wouldn't give any money in this case.
It ain't that bad.

I make sure the camera on my personal devices are off when I join work meetings from them.  Not as much now, but when COVID shutdown first started, I would often be dry firing while listening to the meeting.  Nowadays, I'm mostly leading the meetings, to tougher to do that.   :P
