12-year-old boy suspended for 5 days, deputies visit house after toy gun seen during online class

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. –A boy received a week’s suspension after a teacher spotted a toy gun during an online class, KDVR reports.

On Aug. 27, 12-year-old Isaiah Elliot, a Grand Mountain student, was in his online art class when he allegedly flashed a toy gun across his computer screen.

It was neon green and black with an orange tip. On the side were the words “Zombie Hunter.”

According to the sheriff’s report, the teacher said she assumed it was a toy gun, not a real gun.

When the principal found out, Isaiah was given a five-day suspension.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office was also asked to do a welfare check at the boy’s home without notifying his parents beforehand.

“It was really frightening and upsetting for me as a parent, especially as the parent of an African-American young man, especially given what’s going on in our country right now,” Curtis Elliott, Isaiah’s father, told KDVR.

The district refused to give the family the recording of the virtual class, but a deputy, who recorded the video on his body camera, showed the video to the family.

Dunno...you’d have to ask a lib.
I suspect that he cannot participate in any on-line classes for 5 days.
It’s the Principal that should be “permanently suspended”, not the kid.

Hey, if you’re going to get suspended, anyway, you might as well handle an AR-15. :)

I hope christian kids start putting up big crosses/crucifixes (gory ones) on the wall behind them so its on camera - maybe the Our Father in big letters.

Make them voice their opposition to God. Try to make them take it down, in their own house after this lockdown was mandated - good times.

WTF is wrong with our education, law enforcement, and protective services institutions? This is horrifying from every angle, that a kid and his parents are subject to no-notice household investigation by the thought police for an admittedly TOY GUN.

Lawsuit time biggly...

I was just telling my son of the same age this story. He laughed.

Earlier this evening we were reviewing operational procedures for a bolt action 30-06.

I do not think today’s Americans could win a war.

As much as I would love to see that happen it won't do any good. This kind of crap happens all the time and the teachers/principals always get away with it.

Public school principals are the black-robed tyrant judges of modern education. They do whatever they wish to the kids and their parents, and the school board always has their backs.

The gov will eventually claim property rights over areas/zones within the parents’ homes.

Reminds me of when I skipped school to get a replacment engine for my car. I got caught and they suspended me 3 days. I was grateful for the 3 days they gave me to fix my car.

“I suspect that he cannot participate in any on-line classes for 5 days.”

Oh, no! Not that!

When i was still going to school, online classes was non existent. A futuristic sci fi thing decades away. Most of us kids hated school. So when kids got suspended from school, they absolutely loved it. That was no punishment to them. That was a welcome vacation from school.

“No school for a whole week? What will I do with all that free time?”

Folks, now why does that happen? The answer is that if something does happen, who’s fault will it be? It will be the police fault. The police checking the box that they did something protects them.............................
