Insurance Journal<\/a> reported yesterday that the parents of a 4th grade Louisiana student who was suspended because a teacher saw a BB gun in his room during an online school session are suing the public school system.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The lawsuit filed in Louisiana\u2019s 24th Judicial District Court seeks monetary damages from the Jefferson Parish school system, a hearing by school officials on the decision to discipline the boy as well as an opportunity for him to make up any work he missed during the six days he was suspended from class, The Times-Picayune \/ The New Orleans Advocate reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article details exactly what happened:<\/p>\n

Ka\u2019Mauri Harrison, who is Black, was taking a test during an online class Sept. 11 when his brother walked into the room they share and tripped over a BB gun on the floor, according to a school behavior report. It said Ka\u2019Mauri left his seat, out of view of the teacher, and returned with \u201cwhat appeared to be a full-sized rifle in his possession.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis case arises from egregious government overreach, complete lack of common sense to prevail and correct the glaring failures of local government officials to comply with the law,\u201d the suit says. \u201cThe result is a terrifying intrusion into a family\u2019s home and a bureaucratic nightmare.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Jefferson Parish schools spokeswoman declined to comment on the lawsuit, the newspaper said, citing a policy of not commenting on individual students\u2019 records. The school board\u2019s agenda for its meeting includes hiring an attorney to handle the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry has said he\u2019s investigating the boy\u2019s suspension, citing possible infringement of the child\u2019s constitutional rights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Rifle Association have also spoken out in defense of the child.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The lawsuit accuses the school system of failing to provide Ka\u2019Mauri\u2019s family with a copy of its policies for online school at the start of the academic year and for infringing on the boy\u2019s due process rights as he faced serious discipline.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you comfortable with the school taking action on whatever your child has in his bedroom? It is also interesting to note that the teacher didn’t know the difference between a BB gun and a rifle. I wonder if that would have made a difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
