Police called to home of boy with toy gun in virtual class. 'I could have been burying my son today,' mom says.

As students nationwide kick off fall classes in a new virtual environment, one Black seventh grader in Colorado is waiting to find out if he will attend school again this fall at all.

But police were summoned to the school at around noon, according to a police report, and at 1:41 p.m., Elliott, who was at her job as a contractor for the military, was notified that police were going to her home for a health and wellness check. “I think going forward, there needs to be clear-cut policy in regards to what’s appropriate in a school setting and what’s appropriate at home,” Elliott said. “Something that may not be appropriate at school, such as toy guns or chewing gum or profanity and things like that, [may be fine at home].

Elliott pulled her son out of the school after not feeling comfortable with the way the situation was handled. Isaiah is now on the wait list at a number of nearby private and charter schools. Elliott adds that her family has received a great deal of support from people reaching out, and some have even offered to tutor Isaiah until he is enrolled in another school.

Socialist teachers for you. Home school children already. Get them out of public school.

12 year old? He knew what he was doing was wrong.

It all starts with that ignorant, nosy teacher. How dare she have any business calling the cops. She had already spoke with the mother & handled the situation.

At the end of the day the school policies are the same for virtual school from home as in face-to-face learning ie dress code, being respectful of your teachers, peers,firearms,toy guns, with all the crazy going on in the world right now nobody wants to remember columbine.

People are afraid of Negros

I blame Obama Thanks for ruining toy guns, Obama

theMarquiseF This article is an epic fail because teachers did this to two white boys in the last 2 weeks. Here you are race baiting and not mentioning those kids. One was in Virginia and the other was in Colorado. If you are going to report the news do it right and stop showing bias.
