A Baltimore County, Md., fifth-grader got a visit from the police after his teacher called to report that she had seen a BB gun on the wall behind the student during a class video call.
The boy’s mother, Courtney Lancaster Sperry, a Navy veteran, is warning other parents about a lack of privacy during virtual classes after her son was targeted by a teacher who saw what she thought was a scary-looking gun hanging on the wall of the boy’s bedroom.

The next time the school tries to arm-twist a parent and their child with their Virtual Classroom Gestapo mentality, the response should be: "My kid, My house! Screw you and the trojan horse you rode in on!"
ReplyDeleteWarning other parents? Fuck, she should be warning that and other teachers to keep their snoot out of others business.
ReplyDelete"The principal and the teacher cited a rule stating that students may not bring guns to school and claimed it extended to virtual classes as well..."
ReplyDeleteUm, no. The stupidity stops here.
Mom should have told the cops to "Get a Warrant", so she could watch them stop being "nice".
From now on, the kid should be sitting in front of a blank background for his virtual classes.
My opinion, every gun in the household should be on display so the teach can see it all. Fuck them
DeleteNo, what needs to happen is Mom and or Dad needs to do their homework and get their kids on full bore HOMESCHOOLING. Fuck all these commie schools.
DeleteGive this teacher a break. Karen has reasons to be afraid. As a democrat she knows that even little guns can walk all over town and randomly start shooting people.
ReplyDeleteAs the child's room is now considered part of the school please send the bill for renting it from the home owners.
ReplyDeleteYes. Small business allowance for home schooling while paying taxes to support public schools.

Yeah, I set up my kiddos desk next to mine. We do our homework together. I get to listen in to her class, and make sure they aren't getting too stupid. Remind me to set up my Confederate soldier mannequin.
ReplyDeleteHer first mistake was not demanding a warrant. Her second was failing to sue the 'principle' into oblivion.
ReplyDeleteWe had a state Karen show up years ago, who made the audacious request to 'look at' [read: search] my youngest daughter's room. I stood in the yard and told the officious harridan that she was more than welcome to do so, as soon as she developed x-ray vision that worked from 100' away, as she was not coming past the fence line.
What in the name of everything holy is some stranger permitted to look into a juvenile girl's room? Creepy as shit.
DeleteWhat was she looking for?
Delete[the boy said] "I’m just sad because I thought the teachers were my friends."
ReplyDeleteThat right there is probably the most important thing that that teacher and school are ever going to teach him. Sucks to learn it so young, but better now while he's got parents to back him up, than later on his own.
Mike_C, you beat me to it. I was going to say that that was one of the few good things to come of this. That's a fine age at which to learn such a lesson--it'll stick.
DeleteSounds to me like Mom thought the same way, & she's old enough to know better. So glad that I left the USN when females were still not allowed on combatant vessels.

The Mom handled herself very well, the cops were polite, and she had nuthin to hide...teacher and principal were assholes, clowns...these are in charge of kids, 1/3 of the day...
ReplyDeleteIf that was my kid there would be a 'concerned parent' plus a couple teachers answering the door to process-servers.
ReplyDeleteThis mother and son should go get portraits of Stalin, Mao, Hitler & Castro and use that as a backdrop with the pithy remark it will make the teacher and principal feel much more comfortable.
ReplyDeleteNo warrant, no looky, looky.
ReplyDeleteSucks to be you, fuck off

This is the scum that is brain washing your kids. Home school folks or you kid will end up and idiot. As far as, not policy to call, that translation is, We are chicken shit mother fuckers, snitches, stool pigeons and dirty rats. We call the police that we want to defund to do our dirty work.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe this is the only instance like this, parents need to stand up for their children, but I would imagine many are leftist pansies anyway.
ReplyDeleteOut here in WA, the school officials are reminding parents they need to be sure and have the kids vaccinated before school starts. They are using the same analogy of being IN school.
Hopefully all of this crap going on this year will awaken those folks that are not too indoctrinated if any left besides conservatives.
I'd demand to see a warrant from the police. And then I'd demand to see what state or federal law supposedly permits school staff to treat my home as an extension of school property just because parents are being forced to let teachers peer into their homes. Then I would sue the hell out of the school district. They could choose to pay out millions or fire the teacher and principal.
