A Young Boy was suspended from school and police were called over a toy gun in the background of his screen while attending a virtual class over zoom. The parents of the 12-year-old were livid with the decision after being notified that the police were on there a way to conduct a welfare check on the boy after the incident. More from KDVR:
On Thursday, Aug. 27, the seventh grader was attending on online art class when a teacher saw Isaiah flash a toy gun across his computer screen. The toy in question is a neon green and black handgun with an orange tip with the words “Zombie Hunter” printed on the side.
The teacher notified the school principal who suspended Isaiah for five days and called the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office to conduct a welfare check on the boy without calling his parents first.
“It was really frightening and upsetting for me as a parent, especially as the parent of an African-American young man, especially given what’s going on in our country right now,” said Isaiah’s father, Curtis Elliott, in an exclusive interview with FOX31.
Curtis’ wife Dani Elliott was equally furious with the school’s decision to notify her, only after deputies were on their way to the family’s home.
This story has raised more concerns from parents around the country regarding the way teachers have been disciplining students outside of their view. This was certainly an extreme action taken by the school over something son innocent but many other schools have given out severe punishments for less. With schools coming back into session and many classes being held online, many parents are getting a first-person view of the public school system from the comfort of their own home and they are surprised by what they are seeing.
Did the “teacher” use both her brain cells when she called the police? Obviously not. Take your kids out of the public Marxist/leftist indoctrination centers!
This is what you can expect when you send your kid to a public government indoctrination center they call a school. Parents, when you send your kids to a public government school you are committing child abuse!
OK! PROVINGLY SO, SOY MIMICS ESTROGEN BUT, HAVE WE ANY STUDIES ON THE DAMAGES TO THE BRAIN?
THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS LOAD OF SHITE! AND JUST AS MIGHT BELIEVE IT CANNOT GET ANY WORSE, THE MARXIST LEFTARDS SLIDE THEIR INDOCTRINATIONS IN AGAINST WILL TO DESICRATE MORE AND MORE! AND LIKELY? THIS TEACHER IS YOUNG AND HAVE SPENT MANY MANY DAYS IF NOT YEARS PLAYING “CALL of DUTY” AND “GRAND THEFT AUTO”!!
THESE PEOPLE/LIZARDS ARE siKKK NEW STURMABTIELUNG!
More clear evidence of just how far OUT-OF-CONTROL our public school system has become! El Paso has become a haven for liberal TYRANNY! They MUST NOT BE ALLOWED to extend their control INTO the homes of students and their parents!
I hope that the teacher and all school officials are fired. The police should know better. They had video of everything.
What utter stupidity! The entire idea of the “no weapons” policy originally was to keep kids (or adults, for that matter) from bringing actual weapons (real pistols, rifles, shotguns, combat knives, etc.) on school grounds, especially into the schools themselves.
It started reaching a bit too far but could reasonably be tolerated legally when high school kids would drive themselves to school and leave their hunting gear in their vehicles. Okay, the policy was no such weapons on school grounds. The kid forgot and left his 410 ga. shotgun in the back seat of his car after hunting over the weekend, so OOPS! Ask the kid to be more conscientious about this policy in the future and leave it be. (Or, as I would probably have the kid do if I were the parent, just park on the street near the school rather than in the school parking lots so that such silliness is avoided in the future.)
However, what a kid has in his room at his home is the concern ONLY of the kid and his parents! The school has NO RIGHT whatsoever to get all flustered if the kid has a weapon, especially if it is a toy such as a Nerf Zombie Hunter! In this case, it is clearly a toy and, when the kid is at home and taking class through Zoom, it is clearly not on school grounds, so there is no issue here whatsoever.
The teacher in this case should be suspended without pay for a competency evaluation (specifically targeting whether she is able to competently teach her simplistic subject matter of art as well as use proper critical thinking about what is reasonable action for such a situation); the boy’s suspension should be rescinded and stricken from his school records; the principal at that school and the superintendent of that school district both should issue formal letters of apology to the parents and student; and the sheriff’s department should send a bill to the teacher in question for wasted time and resources as well as file a report against the teacher for making a false complaint (so as to establish a paper trail against her) with the warning that if she does so again, she will be charged criminally and held fully responsible for her actions.
This teacher needs to be educated. Parents should put tape over their kids computer camera. It is no business of the teacher, school or anyone else what is present in someones home.
This is over the top, tell the parent. Let them deal with it.
This is SHOCKING being it is in ElPaso County! There are 5 military bases in ElPaso County Colorado! They are VERY Pro Gun and Pro LIBERTY!
The Teacher should be ashamed of themself! When I was in school in Colorado we had Hunter Safety Class where Rifles were on the desk! Weapons in the gun rack in virtually every PU truck and we had ZERO issues!
I am SICK of people being scared of a weapon (even if it was NOT a toy)! I really hope someone will put this “teacher” in their place and relieve them of their employment to show that there is no place for someone who does not believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights! There is no age limit on the 2nd Amendment!
Excellent!!!!’
AMEN!!! From a USAF Vietnam Veteran!! This teacher need a good old fashioned Tar and Feathering (not harmful just gets their attention that the need to get their act together and their head out of their ass) and become an adult like the child they are trying to teach!! Oh I forgot the teacher is SUPPOSED to be an ADULT!!! WOW what a dumb 3 year old filling a teadher slot!!!
I hope these people are smart enough to start LEGAL proceeding?!?!?!?! SUE!!!!!!!!
AGREED!!
