The girl doesn’t need to be afraid. Her parents need to emphasize to her that she did NOTHING wrong, and that insane people are in charge. I’d also say to them, get her out of that school!
I, too, would yank that child out of the school and sue the district for mental cruelty. We purposely let knife wielding illegals enter our country that maim and murder innocent victims. And these ne’er-do-wells put a child through this over a play knife? The education system in this country has gone amuck. Maybe the new education director will put some common sense back into the schools. . . including higher ed.
