If they were able to get a search warrant

My guess is that they didn't bother with a warrant because they had probable cause. But, I'm not a lawyer, so FWIW.

Don’t even say the word trigonometry. It could get you expelled.

Thank you for making my point. If a kid making a comment comparing the shape of a square-root symbol to the shape of a gun is “probable cause” to search his house, then our justice system is insane.

"The student used extremely poor judgment in making the comment, but in light of the actual circumstances, there was clearly no evidence to support criminal charges," stated on the Allen Parish Sheriff's Office Facebook page.

Are they serious? Its "extremely poor judgment" for a student to simply say that a math symbol looks like a gun?? We live in insane times.

No he didn't.

The fascists used extremely poor judgement in questioning him.

No, not insane. In criminal violation of the US Constitution.

Many people should be fired and/or locked up for that search.

It coulda been worse. He might have chewed his waffle into the shape of a pistol. The world is a very dangerous place, I’m telling you.

Well, Shakespeare, horse racing, history and the grammys are all looked at as “too white” so I’m guessing mathematics and all its accompanying symbols are racist now too.

This has been around awhile, usually accompanied by warnings of the notorious Al-Gebra terror network.

According to investigators, the comment made by the student in question “could” sound like a threat when taken out of context.

Caution: Do not describe the state of Florida and Maryland as looking like a gun. Do not even mention it.
