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 lesbian teacher. This incident was sparked by the teacher giving an assignment about flags that included a reference to the rainbow flag. Rivers, who was upset by the assignment, told the teacher to “kiss ur kids goodbye” in a threatening message. She also called the teacher a child predator and accused her of pushing a personal agenda regarding sexuality. Rivers’ husband stated that his wife meant no harm and forgot to leave the gun at home as she was rushing in to school. The school district has banned Rivers from the campus and is taking steps to ensure a safe learning environment for students and staff. Rivers’ actions have raised concerns about safety on school grounds and the need to prevent similar incidents in the future.
