Where is all the right wing support for this kid

[John T. Ford]

What's the point? You think right wingers are racist because they don't support a Black kid with a BB gun in Louisiana? How freaking absurd. My guess is that it was left wingers who suspended him in the first place.

The author of the OP actually implied that this would not have happened if the child had been white.

Which of course is a racist position.

But, the child was expelled because of the ZTP's which of course applies to all children in public schools regardless of race or ethnicity.

And yes ..... Jefferson Parish is one of the few Blue Parishes in Louisiana and by far the majority there are Black and are Democrat.

From the article.....


"The school board decided to reduce the punishment from expulsion to a six-day suspension"

I am to understand they threatened him with expulsion.

They never expelled him.

You would think the gun freaks would be up in arms over this..it was only a BB gun but still..After Black Child Was Suspended for Having BB Gun at Home, Louisiana Lawmakers Move to Help Him Appeal

So you don't like guns, to bad, because November 4th is coming....

Where the hell did I say I didn't like guns. I'm just not a gun freak who thinks responsible gun control equals blanket confiscation.

I curious as to what people mean by "responsible gun control" ?

I am to understand they threatened him with expulsion.

They never expelled him.

So the article lied?

 

[John T. Ford]

I curious as to what people mean by "responsible gun control" actually means ?

Well it means total gun confiscation of course.

 

[John T. Ford]

So the article lied?

Well yes ...

But, not about that.

 

[DukeU]

I curious as to what people mean by "responsible gun control" actually means ?

It's code for confiscating every gun. We have 20,000+ gun laws in the books. They will not be satisfied until every gun is legislated out of the hands of law abiding citizens.

 

[DukeU]

Well yes ...

But, not about that.

Which part of this sentence from the article is not true?

"The school board decided to reduce the punishment from expulsion to a six-day suspension"

 

[pknopp]

Are people still really concerned that it will remain on their "permanent record"?

Ain't that what the whole "canceled" thing is?

Punishing people for shit from way back? Costing people their jobs and shit?

I don't know? You have any examples of people going back to the elementary school records?

So you think he should be suspended?

Not at all. No idea why you thought I would.

 

[pknopp]

About what?

About it being in his own home.

Whose house was it?

it seemed you were focused on his permanent record and not the actual issue on hand.

Which part of this sentence from the article is not true?

"The school board decided to reduce the punishment from expulsion to a six-day suspension"

The title is a LIE.

The child was not suspended for having a BB Gun in his bedroom.

He was suspended for putting the BB Gun on the desk in front of the camera.

And, they threatened the child with expulsion.

They did not expel him.

His punishment was not reduced.

His punishment was suspension.

 

[DukeU]

His punishment was not reduced.

Yes, it was.

 

[John T. Ford]

About what?

About it being in his own home.

Whose house was it?

Hell if I know but, the point is the ZTP do apply to what is in view of the camera during these virtual visits.

Be that at someones private residence or a public place.

 

[John T. Ford]

Yes, it was.

Well if you want to consider the threat of expulsion "his punishment" then go right ahead.

But, his punishment was a six day suspension.

Not expulsion.

The child was never expelled.

The reason that is significant is because the school board is using the grounds that he was never expelled to deny his appeal.

The school board said that this was something they hadn't considered. If they hadn't considered it then it couldn't be a part of anything.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

The child was not suspended for having a BB Gun in his bedroom.

He was suspended for putting the BB Gun on the desk in front of the camera.

In his bedroom.

That he or his parents allowed the camera to be there in the bedroom doesn't give anyone outside the family to dictate whether that BB gun is allowed to be there or not.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Hell if I know but, the point is the ZTP do apply to what is in view of the camera during these virtual visits.

There is absolutely no rational or legal basis for that position.

It's HIS BEDROOM. HIS HOME.

If there's anything that now needs to be questioned, it is whether school, as an agent of government, has any right to encourage students to allow cameras to be placed in their private bedrooms, to which the school has access to any images seen by that camera. Certainly, there is great potential for serious abuses to take place as a result, and this thread perfectly illustrates this potential. The school presuming to punish a kid, because a camera that the school had in his room saw something that that kid had every legal right to have in his room. There is no rational way to justify this.

Either way, it's an overreach by the school/gov't. and soon will be overturned.
