Thanks to the coronavirus crisis, Courtney Lancaster got a lesson in government overreach no parent wants to learn.
But it’s one every American needs to take to heart.
The Baltimore County woman, whose son took part in online classrooms because of a coronavirus school shutdown, recently found herself facing a police officer at her door requesting to search her home because her son’s BB gun had been spotted in the background during a classroom session he joined in his bedroom.
The lesson plan for the day pretty clearly didn’t involve the Second Amendment, because the “weapon” apparently alarmed someone badly enough that the viewer took a screenshot of the boy’s bedroom during an online class. The school’s principal was notified, WBFF-TV reported, and the school safety officer passed the picture on to police.
Courtney Lancaster, the boy’s mother and a Navy veteran, told WBFF she had no idea what a police officer was doing at her home when he showed up June 1.
“The police officer was, he was very nice. He explained to me that he was coming to address an issue with my son’s school,” Lancaster said.
“And then explained to me that he was here to search for weapons, in my home. And I consented to let him in. And then I, unfortunately, stood there and watched police officers enter my 11-year-old son’s bedroom.”
The search took only 20 minutes, according to the station. But the effects are still lingering.
Since the incident, Lancaster has contacted Baltimore County school officials to try to get some answers about how her son’s private belongings, which were nowhere near school property, had become the business of the school district.

The officers evidently fail to understand that public schools are not education centers ... they are indoctrination centers that specialize in putting their nose into family values and moral issues best left to parents. I find it difficult to believe Law Enforcement is not aware that serious abuses of student and family privacy are regular occurrences in the public education system.
Like I said this is not getting better because we have families who think that they have to send their kids to school to be taught and this is not the case the parent should teach their kids at home that's where the law enforcement have to come in and that is socialist idea don't you get it by now?
P/S a false police report may be applicable here...wasting the time of law enforcement on suspicion of what... keeping a BB gun at home.
What TOTAL CRAP, this world is ending it seems, this kind of CRAP needs to mSTOP, PERIOD!
tell me about it it's geting crazy out there
Everyone of those leftist azzclowns should be sued for causing this unnecessary crisis. Shut these leftist pukes up with high dollar law suits, and do not back off. This is all about pushing their childish commie agenda and narrative. Turning America into a nazi fascist state, or a commie state. Sue them all into oblivion, destroy their lives as they were trying to destroy you and your son.
If she wants to start a Go Fund Me account for the lawsuit I will pitch in.
that include Obama too.
Why did she allow the search without a warrant???
None of the schools or the cop's business.
We have to educate people that the schools and the cops have no right to invade our homes.
She should be suing the school for an invasion of privacy.
well, well suing is not the word I would demand a court date because it's getting worse and worse as the day goes by.
