New Jersey schools: Think like we do or you're crazy!

A Manville High School student was suspended from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation in order to return to school. The State Department of Child Services stopped by his house to talk to him Wednesday, but he refused to speak to the nice people from the state.

You see he left his flash drive in a school computer last April that contained a school assignment about gun control. The school called the police, the police viewed the material, said 'no problem here' and released him. In the boys' report, he argued against gun control. That's a no no!

The folks who run schools in New Jersey don't like guns and think anybody who doesn't agree with them must be crazy. Now I know you're thinking, with all the school shootings that have happened, it's best to steer on the side of caution. Especially if you have a nice pension waiting for you in just a couple of years. It's not worth having some "nutty kid" messing that up for you. Plus what's one less kid who disagrees with the progressive orthodoxy, right? One less trouble maker they have to deal with.

Pensions and futures are secure and now the kid is society's problem. Child services and the school superintendent have no comment and the teacher involved doesn't remember giving the kid such an assignment. The real "danger" to school officials in not whether or not the kid is a dangerous gun wielding madman or not, it's the fact that he doesn't agree with academia's agenda. "Have his head examined or he's not allowed back in our club!"

If I would have told you this was going to happen 32 years ago, you would not have believed me. Then again there are a lot of things about society today that you wouldn't have imagined back in 1984.
