Talk about overreaction! This is what zero tolerance and respect for "authority" gets you. Kid supposedly says wrong words, "authority" brings in tanks to crush the rebellion, other "authority" figures fall in line with no sign of any application of critical thinking whatsoever. Police and CPS both jump on the gravy train, although apparently the gendarmes have rethought their involvement by now. CPS is still wasting resources, apparently. Your tax dollars at work.
We desperately need separation of state and education.

We desperately need separation of state and education. Right. Teachers at private (especially religious) schools never overreact in an authoritarian manner.

FYI, it was a substitute teacher. Luckily, there's an easy fix for her: schools should never use her again.
I don't think this has anything to do with "zero tolerance." It has everything to do with a clueless, bigoted nimrod.

My guess is the teacher either heard a noise or 2 from the kid and interpreted it to be this because he's Muslim and they heard what they expected to hear, or a smaller possibility, another kid thought it would be funny to say that to make the teacher think the kid said it, and the teacher fell for it.
Of course, if the kid is Muslim, saying Allah shouldn't be be unusual any more than a christian kid saying Jesus.
Bomb is a different story, unless you were saying, "You da bomb!"
