Renzo Marquez rank	Wed Sep 16 15:09:06 2020 Things like this happen all the time. http://www...making-finger-guns/3944459002/ Schools have a zero tolerance policy for all of this stuff. It's retarded but that's the policy.

Elliott immediately responded, assuring the teacher that it was, in fact, a toy gun and that she would speak with her son about the incident. Should have stopped there.
Habebe rank	Wed Sep 16 15:10:47 2020 Reno is right, this has happened to multiple people lately.

Wrath of Orion rank	Wed Sep 16 15:56:06 2020 Yeah, I don't see this as having anything to do with race.
patom rank	Wed Sep 16 16:46:17 2020 I would think with the current mood in this country and if your child were black, this could very well have turned into a disaster.
Rugian rank	Wed Sep 16 16:58:57 2020 So calling the cops on white kids is fine, but for black (sorry, Black) kids it's a potential disaster? Now who's being racist?
Wrath of Orion rank	Wed Sep 16 18:07:44 2020 "I would think with the current mood in this country and if your child were black, this could very well have turned into a disaster." Possibly, but it didn't. And that would be a separate issue anyway. The school should apply these types of actions equally across race. There doesn't seem to be evidence of anything else happening here. The fact that the school overreacted is another separate issue.
Seb rank	Wed Sep 16 18:42:00 2020 Why are the police being sent for a "health and wellness check" not a social worker?
Seb rank	Wed Sep 16 18:42:12 2020 When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
