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.”

Hey maybe all you duck commander boyz should let a psyches analyze yo brains
Don’t be so surprised NJ took on Common Core and this is part of it. Don’t be fooled, Common Core is not just about math.
red state
insane people cant do a psych evaluation!
Ridiculous! What was accepted when we were kids vs. what is accepted now, is vastly different. The shame of it all is that kids have to suffer in the name of policy over whether they have to think twice about what’s accepted.
The school principle is taking this thing to a STUPID LEVEL! 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?

he would not, and never go back..but I would sue the $#%&!@* out of the school dist.
You stupid idiots, Your duty is to teach this kids reading, writing, math, history, spelling, georgophy, and not some bull c**p like this. Have any of you tried to help this boy to put a stop of the other kid bullying him? No you haven’t and that’s because you would not get your name in the paper.If I was this boys mother you all would be sued if you did not get an evaluation on your mental health.
I’m beginning to believe the majority of school administrators need to under go a psychological examination, as well as government officials.
The principle needs the Psych Evaluation, along with our Mornons in Gov.
