Lutheran school principal SUSPENDS girl, 12, for three days for 'selling sex toys' in the classroom- but it turns out they were actually 'water snake wigglies'
Frances Halbeck, 12, was suspended from Trinity Lutheran School in Wisconsin
Halbeck was banished for three days for selling 'water snake wigglies'
Administrators mistakenly believed the water-filled bags to be sex toys
Halbeck's father is demanding that the school rescind the suspension
A Wisconsin principal suspended a 12-year-old student because she believed she was selling sex toys to other kids - but it turns out they were just 'water snake wigglies', which can benefit autistic children.
Frances Halbeck, who attends Trinity Lutheran School in Racine, was banned from classes for three days when administrators learned about her sale for charity, according to TMJ4.
Halbeck said she received permission from her homeroom teacher to sell the toys in between class.
Her father Milt said they are simply ‘bags filled with water'. But the school thought they were something far more explicit.

Halbeck said the sale of the wigglies, priced at $1 each, was to benefit autistic children
Frances said the sale of the wigglies, priced at $1 each, was to benefit autistic children.
‘It just calms you when you touch it,’ she said. ‘You squeeze it, it’s cold, and it’s hard to hold sometimes.’
But school administrators didn’t see it that way.
‘In your wildest imaginations, no adult could possibly view this as a sex toy, this is a water-filled bag,’ Milt Habeck, the father of the girl, said.
Nonetheless, the principal of the school, Pamela Amling, saw fit to suspend Halbeck.
She said she was pulled from a basketball game by the principal, who admonished her in front of her peers.
Halbeck said she received permission from her homeroom teacher to sell the toys in between class, which are ‘bags filled with water,’ according to her father, Milt Halbeck (above)
‘It was really really loud and people could hear it,’ she said of her conversation with the principal. ‘People are staring at me.’
She then ran home to tell her father that she was suspended for three days.
The school board discussed the issue and sided with the principal, prompting Milt Halbeck to fight back.
Halbeck wants to generate public support and he says he won’t rest until his daughter’s suspension is cleared from her record.
I've seen those things at souvenir shops and tourist traps since I was a kid.
That principal is a moron.
The girl needs her suspension erased from her record and a public apology from that principle.

Hell, I was playing with those things in the late 80s and early 90s. They were great for a game of catch! At a buck a piece? I'll take 20! They bust if you drop them.
The principal is an idiot and those who sided with him are as well. They just don't want to reverse the decision and make themselves look like the idiots that they are.
That would make the worlds worst sex toy. Obviously this principal must have a soft one...
This principal is a woman, so maybe never had one...
Edit to change spelling, because I just can't seem to be able today.

OK, this is pretty dumb. But, not the end of the world. At our school, you have to get approval to sell something from the Principal's office. But, if someone is bringing something in to school to fill with water, they also might have assumed it was some type of water balloon meant to be thrown.
The second thing that caught my eye was "Trinity Lutheran School in Wisconsin" I wonder what synod? Some of the Lutheran churches in the Midwest can be very, very uptight about a lot of things. And it would appear that this is a private school, so they have more say-so in what goes on in their school. Just saying.....

They are kinda along the lines of those stress balls.
Remember those?
Jesse had some of these in his classroom.
They really are good for helping a kid refocus and de-escalate.
