New Jersey School Suspends Students For Going to Range with Parents.

remember who brought you the story first

before the news is news alanb



This is a developing story. Two students in Lacey Township High School (New Jersey) were given 5 days in-school suspension because they posted pictures of themselves on Facebook with, guns. Lacey Township High School placed the pair on 5 days of detention for posting pictures of themselves taken at a range onto social media that contained firearms with the caption of "fun day at the range"! Note they were with at least one of the student's parents and the other teen had permission from his parents to be there.

This is copy of the school policy. This is 100% real friends. I am currently investigating this matter on behalf of the War Room and have confirmed this to be true. My sources say they are aware of at least 5 students who have been suspended for this policy. It is unclear when the policy was put in place but since the Florida shooting the school district has started actively monitoring students social media looking for any evidence of weapons.

what the heck is "evaluation by the high school child study team" as part of the listed disciplinary measures?

Sounds like a thought crime tribunal sort of deal.

Page two of your source says this is in accordance with a 1995 act. Doesn't mean they adopted the policy then though.

Marxist nutjobs aren't only in colleges posing as professors, they've filtered down to elementary teachers, principles, and superintendents.

Two questions:


1. Does this mean that no student can hunt deer, turkey, or pheasants between September and June?

2. Regarding their drug/alcohol policy....have any of their student/athletes been suspended for posting pics with them and a beer on their instagram accounts?

That is right. No hunting. I think this applies to armed martial arts practice, fencing etc. as well.

Lol according to this policy these kids aren't allowed sharp kitchen utensils

I believe that this is the act they are referring to and which they claim gives them authority to pass this law. The state law listed above gives schools the right to pass regulations but I think that this rule is far outside the scope of the of what the State of NJ was considering.

Another school district was hit in the NJ state courts 2012 for overreaching. I think beyond the First and Second amendment issues there is some sort of state law claims here as well.

Newark — The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) applauds today’s decisionby the state appellate division to strike down a Bergen County school district’s policy that allowed officials to discipline students for activities that occurred outside of a school setting. The ACLU-NJ had submitted a friend-of-the-court brief which explained that New Jersey law prohibits school districts from imposing consequences for off-campus conduct that does not negatively impact school safety.

“A disciplinary policy that seeks to control a student’s conduct 24 hours a day, seven days a week threatens the rights of students and parents both,” said Edward Sholinsky of the law firm Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, who along with colleagues Marieke Tuthill Beck-Coon and Sam Silver, wrote the amicus curiae brief for the ACLU-NJ. “The court’s decision represents a key first step in tempering student discipline policies that are overreaching.”

The court’s decision, which upholds prior rulings by an Administrative Law Judge and the Commissioner of Education, sets an important precedent against so-called “24/7” school discipline policies, a growing trend in which districts have tried to exercise greater power over students outside the classroom. The appellate division held that New Jersey statutes do not grant “unlimited power to boards of education to impose disciplinary consequences on students for conduct occurring away from school grounds” but, rather, limit that power only to situations where “there is a close nexus between the misconduct and the school.”

The policy at issue in this case, known as regulation 6145, was passed by Board of Education for the Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District. The policy called for students to be removed from extracurricular activities for wrongdoing outside of school -- even if the allegations were unsubstantiated. The district argued that it could take such administrative actions because participation in extracurricular activities is a privilege, not a right. The appellate division properly rejected that argument, stating, “The Board's clear intent in adopting regulation 6145 was to use the control it has over students' participation in extracurricular activities as a form of discipline to enforce its code of conduct.”

“Schools play a dominant role for most children, but that unique status does not grant them carte blanche in the lives of students,” said ACLU-NJ Legal Director Ed Barocas. “The close institutional ties between a school system and a young person do not extend authority to administrators in spheres entirely separate from the academic environment. Unless a student’s behavior outside of school directly and substantially disrupts the school, discipline rests with the parents and the juvenile justice system.”

The decision in the case, captioned GDM v. Board of Education of the Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District, can be read online, as can the ACLU-NJ’s amicus brief.

Pretty much this.

The school has no business telling students what legal activities they can or cannot do in their own free time while not on school grounds. Diaz brothers wouldn't have lasted a week at this school.

Reads like this wouldn't stand up in court.

Is this the slippery slope people have been warning others about?

Does this apply to things that could become weapons; brooms, shovels, pipe wrenches, random pieces of lumber, tea cups?

I think it is. Action over this seems a gross misapplication of policy intent.

With the way firearms, and those that use them, are increasingly demonized I'm not even remotely surprised by this.

If it is a slippery slope it is a slippery slope straight into stupidity. Unfortunately there are idiots on either side of the fence and this is a great case for idiocy of the left. Here is someone pictured with a firearm at a range, most likely being taught responsible handling of firearms in a safe and instructive environment, and they are suspended.

The only thing I can say is that if the school receives no government funding they can make up whatever rule they want, however ridiculous. If they are receiving government funding then this kind of rule is simply unreal.

The worst part of this is that this is huge assault on parental rights. These kids were at the range with their parents. Other than homeschooling which is not possible for most parent for economic reasons, going to school is a legal requirement for children. That means the government now gets to tell parents what they can do with their kids. Imagine a Sikh that can't show his kid how to handle their traditional knife.

This is an even better point than my own.

Where are all the gun control advocates at? Let's hear it!
