In Louisiana, nine-year-old Ka Mauri Harrison was in his bedroom taking a test over a video stream when his teacher began waving at him, The Washington Post reported. Since he was taking a test, Harrison's computer was muted so he didn't know why his teacher seemed upset. He moved to unmute her, but the livestream ended.

The reason Harrison's teacher was waving is because she saw an unloaded BB gun in his bedroom and reported him to the school. Harrison faced expulsion, the Post reported, but his sentence was reduced to a suspension after a hearing last week.

"We do not comment on individual student records," school spokeswoman Vicki Bristol told the outlet. "Regarding discipline, it is our policy that teachers and administrators may employ reasonable disciplinary and corrective measures to maintain order."

Absolute insanity. And of course the school seems to be standing behind this racist-ass teacher.

This is completely ridiculous. What on earth is the kid going to do with a gun over a zoom call?

It's one thing if a student actually brought it on campus but getting suspended for a BB gun being spotted in the room over a zoom call is asinine.

I think there have been a few cases of this. Here in South Carolina, an elementary student had a BB gun that looked like a replica... no orange tip and it looked like a revolver. hard to tell the difference. Same thing happened here, they had to do a welfare check.

Stupid either way but if it's obvious it's a toy, there's no reason for a welfare check.

Maybe the teacher just got done watching "Wanted" and was worried the kid knew how to shoot 3 miles away around corners.

Speaking as a teacher, I'd just be happy that they had their camera on in the first place.
