    Alexander Retweeted one ring at a time

    A teacher saw a 12-year-old Black kid play with a Nerf gun at home on Zoom, videorecorded him, showed cops. Cops went to his home. He was suspended, his disciplinary record says he took "a fascimile of a firearm to school" & he now has a criminal record with the sheriff's office.https://twitter.com/hypervisible/status/1303360589444640769 …

    The school sent cops to the residence of Black child because he played with a toy gun *in his own house.* He was suspended for 5 days and now has a record saying he brought a “facsimile of a firearm to school.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09/08/black-student-suspended-police-toy-gun/ …

        Surely "[Student's name], could you please put your toy away and concentrate on class?" was the appropriate way to navigate this.

        Oh and apparently the teacher didn’t record the kid specifically - the school video learning system was *automatically recording all the kids without any of them knowing?????* which is almost worse???

        Even if it *was* a real gun (for the sake of argument), what threat would he pose being all the way at home? A young boy playing with a NERF gun at home shouldn't be enough to scare a grown ass adult but here we are

        I don't think the average American teacher qualifies as a "grown ass adult" anymore. Too many years of driving the best minds out of that field.

        The teacher also won a Snitch of the Month award from her commandant.

        When I was a child and made a gun out of toy blocks, I was just told off, I didn't get the police called on me!
