Carrie Rivers, 48, was said to be unhappy with her daughter's assignment about flags, a teacher who keeps a Pride flag on it in class told police.

An angry Indiana mother faces multiple charges after she was accused of taking a gun to her sixth grade daughter's elementary school and threatening her lesbian teacher to "kiss ur kids goodbye" after she gave an assignment about flags, officials said Tuesday.

Carrie Rivers, 48, was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm on school property and harassment in connection with the incident at Valley Mills Elementary School in Indianapolis.

Rivers threatened her daughter's teacher over "a work assignment that had to do with same-sexuality relationships," an affidavit supporting the woman’s arrest said.

Decatur Township school police officers answered a call last Wednesday about an "irate parent" on campus. When they arrived, officers noticed Rivers had something on her waistband that looked like a firearm, the affidavit says.

1. Though NBC, of course, doesn't make this immediately clear, the assignment had nothing to do with same-sex relationships

The mother is just a violent ignorant creep.

2. ....sigh.....

Who would want to be a teacher these days?

Teacher allowed the woman’s daughter to opt out of the assignment but the woman said teacher was treating her daughter “unfairly.”

All over a flag with the words “be kind” on it ……. These people are insane…..

3. She also should be charged with assault.

You don’t approach someone in a threatening manner with a pistol in your belt. Assault includes fear of battery.

4. Do these nut cases not understand that

there are consequences to actions? Now that mother is in all kinds of trouble.

5. "consequences to actions"

They see their messiah getting away with 34 felonies, getting away with being an adjudicated rapist, stealing, breaking contract after contract .....the list goes on.

Feels like I am observing the wild wild west.

7. I think you would have been arrested for doing that even in the wild, wild, west.

She volunteered the information that she has gone into the school armed on multiple occasions.

Her poor kid.

8. I swear to dog

I am ready for the civil war. This woman represents the very worst of the Right, and their agenda and actions are vile and unacceptable in a civilized society. I guess the question is, are we a civilized society?
