Home School wakeup call.
> police pulled up to her door and asked to search her home for weapons <
Smile. Be polite. But if they don’t have a warrant, just say no.
Next time, kid, say this is your “george floyd protest BB gun” and promise it will only be used to try to shoot the eyeballs out of eevil white capitalists who dare to own property.
“asked to search her home for weapons.”
It seems to me that she simply could have said, “Not just no but HELL NO!”
Was there a warrant involved? I’m confused here
The school teacher should have charges files on her for making a harassing police report. Then she should be fired and stripped of her teaching credentials.
When I was a kid, back in 1964 and '65, I used to take a city bus to the downtown "Y" for a swimming lessons. I think I went three times a week, after school.
The "Y" had a shooting range in the basement. It was arranged so that it was actually under the street; there was just dirt behind the far wall, where the targets were.
Anyway, most days when I took the bus, there would be two or three boys in the back of the bus with rifles. They were going to the "Y" too, to practice in the shooting range; they were a little older than me, but not much. Probably in high school. I didn't know them; I was in fourth or fifth grade.
I wouldn't even have noticed them except that they were often holding their rifles with the barrels pointed up, sitting with the rifle stock held against the top of one leg.
At first I thought it was a little creepy, but after a few weeks I didn't even notice them anymore. No one paid them any attention, including the bus driver. When we got to the "Y", they got off with me and went inside like everyone else. No one said boo.
Sometimes I would go into the shooting range after swimming and watch them shoot. There was an older kid who ran it. He let me watch but I had to stand behind a red line on the floor. Sometimes I would steal a glance at his homework as he did it; I realized later that it was calculus, because of all the Greek letters and little dots and primes and integral signs. This was in a medium-size city in Upstate New York.
Big Brother tactics. Home schooling eliminates another intrusion.
Did they bring a warrant?
Maryland....FIGURES
That vicious BB gun could have gotten up and shot the kid. They should have arrested the mother on attempted murder (or assault with a deadly weapon at the very least) charges. Or maybe they thought the kid was going to commit suicide. Did Jeffrey Epstein have a BB gun in his cell?
“School administrators” the new age Staci.
Bad enough that screenshots are captured and circulated to wherever anyone wants! Doesn’t the “school” have some liability in peeking into these children’s bedrooms?
Also, don’t for one second think that only the “school” is seeing your “virtual classroom”. It’s all over the Web how un-secure Zoom and other platforms are. Don’t confine the scope of your concern within even the US. China is using the Internet very effectively in world espionage.
I see this poor family was the target of a Karen Call.
Typical low-life nitwit school “administrators”. Fire these useless goofs. She should sue the school losers for invading her and her son’s privacy.
My house is not their schoolroom.
What is in my house doesn’t constitute a reason for anyone at the school to call police.
When I was 9, the 12 yo boy next door to me lost an eye from a BB gun. His glass eye spooked me out for years, just thinking about it.
"We got a report that someone on this property is exercising fundamental Constitutional rights. So we need to do a search."
