Melody Valentin, a fifth-grader in Philadelphia, Penn., was reportedly searched in front of her class and called a murderer for having a piece of paper that looked like a gun, The Blaze reported Thursday.
According to Dianna Kelly, the girl's mother, her grandfather made the "gun" for her the previous day using a folded piece of paper with a corner torn out of it.
When the girl went to throw the piece of paper away, a boy in her class saw it and called school administrators.
"He yelled at me and said I shouldn't have brought the gun to school and I kept telling him it was a paper gun but he wouldn't listen," she said.
Kelly said the school staff searched her in the presence of her classmates and Valentin said she was scolded in front of the class.
The Blaze reported that the school administrator allegedly threatened to have her arrested, while other students called her a “murderer.”
Kelly, who is furious about the incident, has kept her daughter out of the class to avoid further harassment and says she wants her daughter out of the school permanently.
“Why did he threaten my daughter?" she asked. "Why did you stand over my daughter and tell her that you should call the cops on her? ‘You can be arrested?’ Why were you trying to scare her?”
Calls to the school district were not returned...

Fortunately, the search turned up no paper bullets. But if they had done a body cavity search...
My young one was kicked out of a conservative private school at about the end of 5th grade because of a completely false gun comment allegation. Private school, no Fed funding, they do what they want.
Then some years later he got suspended from public high school for merely trying to cheer someone up by squirting a can of Ether starting fluid over a BIC lighter, whoosh. Hey, it was lunch time, his buddy needed a distraction.
Today he is a conservative and very much his own thinker.
“I want to see them in ragged clothes, hanging around the town square in the cold, begging for drugs.”
Union thugs tend t be dressed as you describe already. As for the drug begging, I’m sure they limit that to after hours and weekends.
And they searched her how? Did they pat down her genitalia? I would simply call the police and file a report for sexual assault.
Dear Parents, Go to your Local DA with a LAWYER and File Criminal Felony Extortion Charges against the Principal, Threatening Criminal Action in any CIVIL MATTER is the definition of FELONY EXTORTION, 2-5 years first offense.
My husband also carried a knife to school and many had rifles of shotguns in the trunk of the car. This was the rural South in the 50s. My daughter was on her high school and college rifle team as well, a national competitor.
Ooh, I’m just shuddering, trembling with fear.
BTW, my Dad taught us the basic of shooting. Safety first.

And yet when we point out the obvious to the libs, we are called extremist paranoid fringe lunatics. Go figure...
Anti-Gun hysteria. Whipped up by King Obama the kid who ratted out the classmate will probably be at the next Democrat press conference.
Oh look, yet another reason to raise your own children instead of turning them over to complete stranger - who turn out to be complete idiots manufactured in colleges of education.
Seems to me that parents are out of excuses for the damage done to their kids, and they need to stop blaming schools/teachers/administrators. The expiration date on “Ignorance” is long past.
Hmmn . . . so the fifth grade girl is Caucasian. What is the “ethnic identity” of the teacher, administration thingies, ad nauseam.
Who did the ‘body search’? For that matter, what did the search consist of?
Somebody SHOULD have been arrested here, and it’s not the fifth grader.

But then, I also shot every day at school (in the basement) in the JROTC rifle team.
Neal Boortz was right. Sending one's children to most public schools today should be grounds for charges of child abuse!

This sort of reminds me of the Salem witch trials. A fellow student accuses her of having a gun? A gun made out of paper? Her fellow students call her a murderer?
It’s one thing for the so-called adults in this booby hatch of a “school” to exhibit sick hysterical behavior. It’s another thing when students are influenced by them to do the same.
Time to pull the sane kids out. The wacko teachers and their acolytes deserve each other. Yuck.

In many (most?) families, both the father and mother have to work outside the home to sustain the household. How does one homeschool children when one works full-time? Answer that and you’ll make a billion dollars.
Lots of people hold down two jobs. Make one of them teaching your kids.
Drop the TV off at the dump and you’ll find some of that time you don’t have.
She should have said it was an Origami project and that they were stifling her artistic talents.
