MODESTO, Calif. — The parents of a 5-year-old California boy are upset after their son was suspended for a day after refusing to take off his backpack and making “terrorist threats,” according to KTXL.
Officials at Great Valley Charter School said Jackson Riley apparently told his teacher there was a bomb inside his backpack.
“So, they look in his backpack, and my son’s 5 years old; obviously there’s no bomb in my kid’s backpack,” Jackson’s father said. “They called me at work and said, ‘There’s been an incident at the school.’ They told me everything that my son said, and they said, ‘You need to come pick your son up, and this is going to be a one-day suspension.’”
The school sent a letter to Jackson’s parents saying he was suspended for his intent to “intentionally engaged in harassment, threats or intimidation.”
Administrators later changed the letter to apply to a school code that said he made “terrorist threats,” but that code only applies to students in 4th through 12th grades.
“He said he couldn’t take his backpack off because it would explode, meaning he doesn’t want anybody to get hurt, so I mean, granted, it’s all in the world of pretend-play, and we’re talking about an imaginary bomb. But where was the threat? We still haven’t really received a clear answer to that,” Jackson’s mother said.
The school said in a statement on Tuesday they could not discuss the specific case but that they take “student safety and discipline very seriously.”
“He was sent home, and he understands you can’t say ‘bomb’ at school. But he really doesn’t understand what the threat is,” Jackson’s mother said.
Jackson’s parents say they want the suspension removed from his permanent record.
“He’s 5. He has an imagination. We just want what’s right is right, and what’s right in this instance is for our child to not have a permanent mark on his record because of this,” Jackson’s father said.
5-year-old suspended from school for making ‘terrorist threats’
Idiots are teaching the kids. What could the outcome possibly be?
“What could the outcome possibly be?”
That he’d get an actual education through homeschooling?
“But where was the threat?”
The only ‘threat’ was to the jew agenda.
By definition terrorism needs to involve a political aim or agenda. The child also claimed to be Batman and is frickin’ 5 years old. And yes of course there was nothing in the back pack. It’s not just kooky California anymore either. Teachers need to be tested routinely for situational response. Teachers 25+ in age are getting higher up in Govt. positions and think about how ( tv ) they’ve grown up…..right? Compared to the Baby Boomers and Generation X they never learned even the 3 r’s let alone how to address a letter or write a check.
Lol
I won’t even tell you what one of my girlfriends son asked Santa for Xmas in school
( and probably a good reason why I homeschooled my daughter)
Everyone is so F-ing touchy these days
Like a 5 year old has the ways and means to even make a threat like that a possibility
Or are we already in Ameristan ?
Ok
What difference at this point does it make
Right kid?
Mind-boggling!
This BS has gotten so out of control!
We are surrounded by Idiots!!!! 😡
“The school said in a statement on Tuesday they could not discuss the specific case but that they take “student safety and discipline very seriously.””
Lies, what they take seriously is imprinting impressionable children with communist doctrine.
“Jackson’s parents say they want the suspension removed from his permanent record.”
If his parents had a brain between them, they would have told the commissars their child is now permanently removed from the public school system. The brainwashing of 95%+ of Americans is breathtaking in its effectiveness.
how much you wanna bet Jr is back in that same school this very day?
Mommy and Daddy wont do shit
Just like Syrian kids grow up in war, a western kid is inundated with TV, video games and demoralization. The kid didn’t even know what he was doing, just play acting what our debauched jewified whore culture pumps into his head. I feel bad for kids and glad my best days were had in “better” times.
I don’t feel good anymore, this sucks. And what sucks the worst is the myriad a-holes who snivel at anyone like me or others here who take an informed, critical view of reality.
