Luckily no one was called.
On the one hand I’d call this ridiculous but since you can now buy many guns in any color you want, or upgrade them later to any color, a bit of caution seems sensible. But, arresting them?! That is over the top. Consider the longterm implications, this can ruin the kid’s life, affect college admissions, job search, etc. Nope, to look for them was not ridiculous, to arrest definitely was. The case is NOT illegal. What was the charge anyway?
Schools once had active rifle and archery teams, and had safety classes for same.
Wouldn’t have happened then.
These days?

Under reacting to a real threat and over reacting to a non-threat.
Bunch of incompetent boobs!
Bad idea to bring it to school, but it doesn’t warrant an arrest. Detention, maybe. If the Left ever gets complete power, they will have Soviet style gulags for those who need “re-education.”
At least he didn’t bite a toaster pop up to look like a gun!!!
He shouldn’t have been arrested but I would have suspended his dumb ass for a day or two for being a dumb ass.
A guy with a pink cell phone case?
That is what should worry those around him.....
Sorry, she’s just looking for trouble with something shaped like that. She’s lost the ability to put it in any pocket, and when she goes to use it it looks like she is indeed pulling a gun.
“But it looks like a gun!” would be the opposite of a convincing rebuttal.
