Carrie Rivers, a mother from Indiana, was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm on school property and harassment after allegedly bringing a gun to her daughter’s elementary school and threatening her daughter’s teacher, who is a lesbian. Rivers was upset over a work assignment that involved same-sex relationships and called the teacher a slur disparaging to lesbians. Police found a firearm on Rivers and she admitted to having it because she is used to wearing it. She threatened the teacher, telling her to “kiss ur kids goodbye” and accusing her of promoting same-sex relationships to students. Rivers’ husband claimed his wife meant no harm and just forgot to leave the gun behind. The Metropolitan School District of Decatur Township stated that Rivers will not be allowed on campus again and that she sent harassing and threatening messages to the teacher after the incident. The district is committed to ensuring a safe learning environment for students and staff and is grateful for the quick response in handling the situation safely. Rivers’ daughter was allowed to skip the assignment that caused the conflict. The incident underscores the importance of maintaining a safe and inclusive environment in schools for all students and staff.
