Ethan Chaplin is a thirteen-year-old student in Vernon, New Jersey, who has suspended for two days and will undergo a psychological evaluation after another student complained that he “twirled a pencil like a gun”.
Is this the kind of ‘political correctness’ we should be teaching children? Should school kids worry all the time that someone imagining they see a “gun motion” will arbitrarily damage their future?
According to News 12 New Jersey, Chaplin said he was “just twisting around a pencil with a pen cap on it when a student behind him yelled, ‘He’s making gun motions, send him to juvie.'”Share this if you’re tired of officials caving in to left-wing idealist propaganda!
Chaplin told officials he had repeatedly been bullied by the student who complained and that the complaint about the pencil was just an extension of that. But the school suspended him anyway, “pending the outcome of a psychological evaluation.”
Vernon Schools Superintendent Charles Maranzano indicated that “school policy and the law requires [sic] him to investigate when anyone in school feels uncomfortable or threatened by another student.” He said, “We never know what’s percolating in the minds of children. And when they demonstrate behaviors that raise red flags, we must do our duty.”

This Obama Ass Kissing has got to Stop!
The Superintendent is on top of things; this boy will probably get a good outcome: “Chaplin told officials he had repeatedly been bullied by the student who complained and that the complaint about the pencil was just an extension of that. But the school suspended him anyway, “pending the outcome of a psychological evaluation.”

I twirl Real Guns and I aint taking no damn psych eval!
Why don’t some of these parents sue them like crazy? this is stupid! they are playing with our kids future, not to mention their minds, they have to be on guard every second. its ridiculous!!!
After a career in healthcare and the insurance industry I now teach risk management, reserve funding and insurance law. If I were in charge of risk management at this school district the principal in question would be looking for a new job because he is placing the district and the taxpayers of the community in an untenable liability position. The parents are doubtless going to sue the district for this egregious and outrageous abuse of process.
so why isn’t the one who called attention to this gettting a psych eval because of his bullying behaveior???
that principal should see the head psych eval ,//
I feel like this country has gone stark raving mad !!!
sEEMS TO ME THAT THERE SOME DAMN STUPID PEOPLE RUNNING THE SCHOOLS INSTEAD OF TEACHING. I BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO REMOVE STUPID LIKE THIS.
the wrong people are being punished here. these morons who have no common sense. these pepple are ruining childrens reputations, and having it put in their records, for frivolous, unreasonable reasons.
