In this latest case, an 11-year-old boy in Maryland actually had his home searched after some "concerned" parents and teachers saw that he had – gasp! – a couple of BB guns perched up on the wall behind him where his computer was set up for virtual Zoom class time.
The boy is a Boy Scout working on his Eagle Scout merit badge, and his mom is a Navy veteran. The family is upstanding, and the boy in question knows how to not only safely use his BB guns but also how to shoot archery and do other normal boy things that uptight liberals might find "scary."
According to reports, a teacher who was spying on the son of Courtney Lancaster Sperry, a Baltimore County resident, notified the school's principal, who called Sperry to fish out where her son was at when the BB guns were spotted. This principal, named Jason Feiler, then called the police and had them come to the property to search it for more than 20 minutes.
"While my son was on a Zoom call, a 'concerned parent' and subsequently two teachers saw his properly stowed and mounted Red Ryder BB gun and one other BB gun in the background," Sperry wrote on Facebook.
"He was not holding them and never intentionally showed them on video," she added. "In fact, he was oblivious that they could even be seen in the background."
Hilariously, the school doubled down after the whole thing went public and exposed its faculty as a bunch of nanny-state crackpots, declaring that having guns, even BB guns, visible on Zoom during class time is the same thing as a student bringing said guns to school, which is a violation.
"The officers that responded were appalled at the call and even commended the set-up that my son has for his toys and commended him also on his respect and understanding of the BB guns," Sperry added, noting that she was shocked to find the police at her door after having "never had any negative encounter with law enforcement."
The only mistake Sperry made was actually letting the police inside her home, giving them her consent. She could have refused and pinned it all back on the school, which violated her privacy rights and humiliated her for no legitimate reason.
The situation is even more ridiculous when considering that some public schools are simultaneously demanding that parents not be allowed to participate in Zoom class meetings due to "privacy" concerns.
This is what is happening in Tennessee, in fact, where at least one public school system tried to force parents to sign away their participation rights, which would have made it so that students were only allowed to interact with their teachers and fellow students via Zoom.
In other words, the only people that public schools want teaching your children are public school indoctrinators – no parents allowed.
"Brainwashing centers (public so-called 'schools') must be closely and constantly monitored," wrote one commenter at The New American. "They don't teach traditional 'reading, writing and 'rithmetic.'"
"They 'teach,' i.e. brainwash revised 'history,' and behind their mask of 'equality' gay-ism, transgender-ism, sex perversion, sodomy, gender confusion, etc., etc., and seriously consider such crap as 'education.'"
