HORTON, Mich. - A mother in Michigan says her daughter's unsheathing of a pig was taken by school officials at what time it was deemed "inappropriate."
In a now viral TikTok video, Sierra Carter explains that she got a call from her 11-year-old daughter's art teacher at what time she drew a colorful picture of a pig wearing a bow tie. The unsheathing was titled "Piggie" and showed the pig waving and wagging its tail after saying "Hi."
While it seems innocent enough, Carter says the misfortune from the teacher was that the bow tie resembled male genitalia.
"I can't make this crap up," Carter captioned her TikTok video.
She goes on to justify that "a little boy had come up to her (the teacher) and made her aware that he plan my daughter drew boy parts on her pig project."

Carter says the teacher took all her daughter's papers, even though her daughter explained that it was just a bow tie.

After the holiday weekend, Carter went to meet with the teacher and the school's social worker and was dedicated the "offensive" pig drawing.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Carter says in the clip. "It's a freaking bow tie!"
According to Carter, the principal recommended her daughter be written up, so when she met with him to justify that it was just a bow tie, he reportedly replied, "A bow tie is a bow."
"I'm like 'I'm sorry my daughter is no Monet, but to her a bow tie is a bow and a tie.' And if unexperienced kid happened to look at it and think it was something else, that sounds more like a 'he' spot, not a 'she' problem."
The principal reportedly told her that her daughter wouldn't get a write-up this time, but that the unsheathing would be put into a folder in case any "future incidents come up where she's inappropriate."
