US EditionStudent Reportedly Expelled for Disarming Classmate with Gun, Mother Calls Him a Hero
Sakir Everett was expelled after disarming a classmate's gun, with the Lansing School District citing Michigan law on weapons despite his actions preventing harm.
- In May, an 11-year-old student at Dwight Rich School of the Arts was expelled for one year after administrators concluded he possessed a weapon on school property.
- After reviewing video evidence, Lansing School District representatives, including Dale Person and Cordelia Black, said Michigan law on dangerous weapons required expulsion.
- Using his hunting knowledge, Sakir Everett disarmed and dismantled the firearm, then delayed reporting because he `didn't want to implicate himself,` his mother said.
- Because of the expulsion, the family faced immediate financial and educational strain as Everett was barred from all school platforms and enrolled in a non-accredited online program while a GoFundMe campaign supports them.
- The decision has prompted debate across the community about discipline versus recognition, with supporters citing Michigan law discretion while Lansing School District will decide on reinstatement after the school year and the unnamed student who brought the firearm remains unpunished.
