An ACLU attorney likened the search to being “the sort of thing you hear about in communist China and Russia.”

      That would require the cop being self aware. Or educated.

      Wouldn’t surprise me if some online troll made a complaint and picked a random classroom.

        It doesn’t matter where the complaint came from. The issue is cops tearing classrooms apart looking for (checks notes), a book.

          Well, of course. Cops are gonna cop. Good thing there wasn’t a class guinea pig or it would’ve gotten shot.
