    White assistant principal told black student she had a ‘mean look’

    Florida’s First Coast Technical College has a low view of the U.S. and state constitutions, according to a federal lawsuit by a student who says she’s been suspended indefinitely.

    Dia’mon Dallas is suing the Florida college for violating her First and Fourteenth Amendment rights and retaliating against her in violation of the Florida Constitution, the Jacksonville Daily Record reports.

    The college, which is part of the St. Johns County School District, suspended Dallas after another student reported a Facebook photo of her and her fiance “holding legally purchased and lawfully possessed firearms at a gun range in Palatka,”

    A woman posed with a gun at a gun range with her husband and posted the pictures, so her college suspended her.

    The only problem is its a public school district and the 2nd Amendment is constitutionally protected.

    This is no different than a college suspending a student for exercising free speech.

    She's black. The person that complained must not like black folks having guns. Democrats have had a problem with black folks having guns for more than a hundred years now.

    "Gun control's racist past and present
    Calls for strict gun control after mass shootings overlook how regulations have been used to disarm people of colour.
    Gun ownership is part of the fabric that makes up US identity, with the right to bear arms found in the Constitution's Second Amendment, adopted in 1791. But racism in gun laws predates the founding of the nation.

    A century earlier, the colony of Virginia had laws prohibiting slaves from owning guns.

    After being emancipated as a result of the Civil War (1861-1865), southern states passed laws known as the "Black Codes", which disarmed and economically disabled African Americans in order to sustain enforcing white supremacy.

    Saul Cornell, a professor at Fordham University and researcher who focuses on the history of gun control, said, "the story is very complex".

    "Saying gun laws are always racist is just false," he told Al Jazeera. "Saying that gun laws have never been racist is also just wrong."

    Even in the case of laws that are "race neutral", meaning they apply to everyone, there are examples of biased enforcement, Cornell explained.

    Oh boy. A white admin says that Blacks are making mean looks. Yep, definite racism there. Can't wait to hear the LW chime in on this one - will they support the racist, or the gun owner?

    Also

    Any relation?

    Did you guys catch this part? Clock boy good, slow cooker lady bad.

    An administrator was so panicked by the photo that she wouldn’t let Dallas return to the classroom where she’d brought a slow cooker for a party.

    Not the brightest individual to aim a firearm at a person holding a camera but if this is all to the story — it likely isn’t — the school is definitely in the wrong.

    Black woman holding a gun so it must be illegal? Smells like racism to me unless he’s got one hell of a good explanation. Anti gun liberal or just a racist Floridian? Both seem perfectly possible at this point.

    Those were my first thoughts too. I mean, yes, school dumb, but also . . . range etiquette!

    If she wins, that will be an excellent way to pay off student loans.

    I will wait to read more on exactly why the school took this action, if nothing more is forthcoming. I don't see how this is any of the school's business assuming it did not happen on school property.

    That's a toss up. Probably will be silent as they really aren't for Civil Rights as much as they are for pushing a liberal agenda.
