Another Zero tolerance case.

WTF? If something is in the HOME, rather than being brought onto school property, it's of no relevance to the school. School authorities have absolutely no right to search your home. If they think something's wrong, they can alert the police, who need to have either probable cause or a warrant (and obtaining a warrant requires probable cause) to carry out the search.

Which simply having guns in the house is not probable cause.

And all that had happened before my house got searched was my son got in trouble in school and mentioned that he would rather die than face me when he got home. (I am a strict but loving parent and proud of it.) I was told that we had to have a gun in our house and they needed to make sure so that he wasn't a threat to himself or others. We did NOT have a gun in the house. I was very angry about it.

But I read the paperwork and it did say that if they thought there was a threat to the child, then CPS and the Police had the right to search your house at any time. I signed it, without even reading, never will make that mistake again.

oh for *expletive*'s sake... assuming the kid merely said it, the kid would be dreading being told off, I would guess, at most. ( if the kid really was scared, he'd be looking to avoid going home at all)
