A Christian school suspended a student for selling sex toys, but theres just one problem

http://rare.us/rare-news/a-christian-school-suspended-a-student-for-selling-sex-toys-but-theres-just-one-problem/

A 12-year-old student at Trinity Lutheran School in Racine, Wisc., was suspended for three days after she was accused of peddling sex toys by the principal, when in fact she was selling something called “water snake wigglies,” she says, with permission from a teacher.

..
“In your wildest imaginations, no adult could possibly view this as a sex toy, this is a water-filled bag,” he told WTMJ.
..
“I just learned something I shouldn’t have,” the girl said. She explained that she was trying to make a $1 profit on each one she sold and that she read online the water-filled bags helped children with autism.

On Amazon right now is a comparable product referred to as a “tactile autism fidget toy.”


The school pastor said the incident went to the school board and the board sided with the principal. He declined commenting on the details of the situation because the student in question is a minor.

What kind of people automatically assume a child is selling sex toys and are too lazy to even investigate before accusing her of such a thing?
