UPDATE: A Racine school is disputing a story that they suspended a student for selling sex toys, instead stating the students sexualized the water snake wigglies.
On Tuesday, TODAY’s TMJ4 broke the storyof the student being suspended, with the family claiming the principal mistook the water snakes for sex toys.
In a statement, the school said the student was selling the water snakes out of her locker and students, “sexualized the use of these toys which was disruption to learning that could not be ignored.”
However, the suspended student's family said the school principal pulled the student from a basketball game to tell her she had been suspended for three days for selling sex toys.
The father plans to wait outside Trinity church services Wednesday night 6 p.m. to pass out slips including a link to his blog website titled 'Vindicate Frances." He vowed to continue fighting the school to have her suspension rescinded and "clear her name."

A Racine family says their principal accused their child of selling sex toys at school.
Parents may recognize the toy in question. They are called "water snake wigglies." The girl claims she had permission from a teacher to sell the children's toys.
However, the principal at Trinity Lutheran School accused the student of selling what she thought were sex toys.
The school's pastor, Pastor David Gehne, said this issue already went before the school board, which sided with the principal.
"We wouldn't discuss the details of any situation regarding one of our children, they're all minors," said Gehne.
"In your wildest imaginations, no adult could possibly view this as a sex toy, this is a water-filled bag," said Milt Habeck, the father of the girl.
Habeck adds he does not plan to stop until his daughter's record is cleared. He wrote a blog online that includes witness statements titled: "Vindicate Frances."
