The simple act of creating an anti-gun control video had severe consequences for a high school student in New Jersey. The cops were called, he was suspended, and referred to psychologist.
From Channel 12 New Jersey:
“It was assigned by the teacher, and I got the topic, which was anti-gun control, approved by the teacher,” he says.
The video cited examples where people have fended off home invaders using guns and argues people should be able to protect themselves. It uses political cartoons to suggest gun free zones won’t work.
Harvey says he left his thumb drive that contained the project in the school’s computer lab Monday. Someone apparently found it and alerted officials. Manville police questioned Harvey, but cleared him of any wrongdoing.
But Harvey says the Manville School District suspended him for the content on the thumb drive and said that he had to undergo a five-hour psychological exam before he could come back to school.
“I’m not taking him for a psychological evaluation because this teacher is lying and won’t own up to what she did,” says Harvey’s mother Mary Vervan.
Harvey says his teacher told his family she couldn’t remember assigning the project.
The video wasn’t threatening anyone or anything other than closely held leftist ideas.
Manville High School literally called the cops when they found a thumb drive with political cartoons opposing gun control on it. A Channel 12 N.J. News report has a few clips of the video here. There is nothing even remotely inappropriate about the video, at least according the journalist who watched it. The fact that it was against progressive liberal ideology was enough for such an extreme reaction.
It’s pretty clear who needs to go for a psychological examination. The progressive liberal extremist who called the cops because a student dared to express a different point of view is in dire need of mental help. Standing on principle, the student will not be returning to the school. Instead, he will obtain a G.E.D..
My brother and I have discussed this type of behavior that is occurring more and more often in out country. This young man a patriot with traditional American values, probably is feeling alone in an area with a new morality of “political correctness”, where one can no longer express themselves without dire consequences. We do still have a core of free-thinking unbiased thick-skinned true Americans that are now in the minority, but socialist zeal is rampant and communist behavior like that described here, where the facts are ignored are becoming more common. As a highly educated individual, raised by free-thinking Americans with fundamental values without greed and willing to sacrifice for their community and country, I am more saddened each and every day. Where are the Statesmen to rally and steer us with their personal immunity to smear tactics, e.g. Churchill, Kennedy, Roosevelts, etc. They are drowned by a network of small-minded greedy self-serving opportunists with no motivation to do the right thing.
And yet, you keep electing them
I doubt that this individual voted for them. Just like myself, I would never vote for our gov brown here in California. Or others like fienstein or boxer, but we have enough illegals and idiots that do vote them in. Heck, I’d rather use them for practice at gun control….you know like proper breathing technique and trigger control.
Preach on! I too suffer at the hands of these communist scum.
Hard to believe anyone would vote for “Mr & Mrs America- turn them all in”
These privileged elites are the perfect justification for term limits.
This is just the liberals operate in pushing those against them. Too bad this is a teacher. If this was my son he would have been out of that school right that minute and a suit would have been filed against the Teacher and the School for Leftist actions against a student. She must have taken lessons from Hillary Clinton about forgetting what really happened. Maybe he should have still done it and take them to court for unappropriate conduct of a Teacher towards a student.
A lawsuit SHOULD be brought for violating this young man’s rights as guaranteed by our Constitution! It’s not too late. In the meantime, while it is a shame that he will not graduate High School with his classmates, he should be ASSURED that the majority of patriotic Americans are WITH HIM!!!
When Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, our entire West Coast was RIPE for an invasion. The ONLY thing that prevented an invasion was a statement from Admiral Yamamoto, who had spent a number of years in our country. His statement was, “There is a gun behind every blade of grass.” meaning that he believed every American had a gun! And THAT is what protected our country even then! We should LEARN from history!!!
Absolutely correct I am so sick of the left all they want is total control of our lives. Boy am I glad I am as old as I am [senior/ retired nurse] I do fear for my kids & grand children. A lot of poor teachers today backed by the democrat liberal unions common core. What a mess. GOD BLESS THE USA.
The sad truth is, that until parents start tracking down teachers and principals like this and beating them to a broken, bloody pulp it will only get worse. Make them afraid to do their “job” and somebody else might get hired who has their heads screwed on straight.
If the American people want to keep America we are going to have to stand up and speak up. It has to start with the people in our cities, counties and state. We must vote and speak up in our elections to bring the right people into office. What’s even more important is pay attention to what’is happening and always vote well informed. Vote the important issues and don’t let anyone pull you down to the things that is usually only distraction. Demand evidence and or proof before you believe things you hear.
Unfortunately, the statesmen have left office or passed on while their absence has left a vacancy all too often filled by sociopathic personalities more concerned with re-election than our nation’s well-being!
The Constitution is being destroyed by these Liberals. Wake up people.
obuma is destroying our constitution by telling Trump not to say anything about obumas wife, because Michelle made a verbal attack against Trump. Violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
Sounds like the teacher and school officials would be much better candidates for psych. exams, among other things. As to the role of the police in this fiasco, must be nice to reside in a community with so little real crime that the cops have nothing better to do, that is to say, no real law enforcement work demanding their time, efforts and attention.
The school systems need to start giving psych evaluations to the teachers they have on staff…especially new hires!
The school and town may be NAMED ‘Manville’, but apparently there’s not a single ‘man’ on the entire school board.
If you look below the high school sign there is an ad for a septic company. It seems it fits the school just right—–They are full of shit!
This is the same sort of thing that dictators do with dissidents, they get them declared insane, stick them away somewhere and forget about them, and remove all evidence of their existence.
I’m guessing your about 70 or 75 years old, anyone younger than this probably gas never heard of communism, marx, lenin, stalin, kruchev, et al and their agenda.
We have to keep reminding the “kids”.
[…] Kid sent to Psychiatrist for pro gun view. This is just ridiculous, imagine what will happen if Hillary wins. Student Suspended From School And Referred To Shrink For Opposing Gun Control | Prepared Gun Owners […]
That forgetful “teacher” needs at least 5 hours of psychological tests.
Both the school District, the specific teacher, and the police department need to be sued for violations of the student’s Constitutional Rights – 1st and 4th Amendments to start with.
I could not agree more, but the police said that he did nothing wrong. Why sue the police? They were called and had to answer the call. That is what they are getting paid for. Use the police when they sue the others. There is no reason that the kid can not go back to school and graduate with his class.
Not the cops. they interviewed the boy and left.
The staff in that school must have voted for Obama and plan on voting for Clinton…
Mental screening is a form of gun control.
I would sue the teacher, school and the district. It’s just not right. I know there is an attorney in your area that would take this on. Don’t let them push you out of school for their ignorance. Walk across the stage at graduation with your head held high.
Once the kid goes to the psychologist he will be added to the list of persons who can not own, buy a gun for life. Government trick.
You’re exactly right. Fortunately the young man didn’t go for a psych exam which would have prevented him from EVER obtaining a firearm. The teacher and the school board are the ones who need to be ushered out in tight fitting white wraps..
HELL will be 50 feet under ice before i vote for the TRAITOR KILLARY
Shows you how sick this country has become. The Second Amendment still stands and with the help of God always will. The second Amendment was written just for the Hillary sick Oh’s who want to disarm this Once great country. These same people have armed guards with them day and night. They can have fire arms you can not. Remember what the great man said, “From my cold dead hands”.
The school staff must be a obama and Clinton supporter
I hear all this liberal hype about civil rights. But we seem to have gone to punishing those who actually practice civil rights. It boils down to their version of civil rights and not the ones in the Constitution or the Bible. The bottom line is that it is a control system, not a freedom system.
This is another one of our rights trying to be taken away. Rather or not the teacher assigned the project or oked the project, this student has a right to voice his opinion. Freedom of speech. I feel his rights were taken away when he was expelled from school. Who ever made the decision to not let him back until he received a psychological exam needs to be fired for suggesting this. Is this person a psychologist? The principle, the school superintendent the teacher and anyone who was in on making this decision needs to be removed. Removed with no possibility of returning in any education capacity nation wide.
The ones who need the services of a mental professional are the hoplophobes on the school board who allowed this travesty to take place!
GOOD FOR YOU MOM. STICK BY YOUR (GUNS) LET YOUR SON GET HIS G.E.D. THEN CALL THE NRA AND SEE IF THEY HAVE ROOM FOR HIM FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THEIR EDUCATIONAL DEPT.
GOOD FOR YOU MOM STICK BY YOUR (guns). HAVE YOUR SON GET HIS G.E.D. AND THEN CALL THE NRA AND SEE IF THEY CAN USE HIM IN THEIR EDUCATIONAL DEPT. WORKING OUT OF VIRGINIA . I DID 29YRS AS A L.E.O. IN NJ AND WHEN I RETIRED I PACKED MY STUFF (firearms) AND GOT OUT OF DODGE!
What kind of nonsense is this!!! Why would the “student” want an assault weapon, In fact why would ANY NORMAL person need an ASSAULT rifle, unless they were in the US Military and a real patriot…????
Dr. Larsen, you’re severely uninformed.
Every American should own — in your words — an “ASSAULT rifle”.
Whatever the government/military/police own and use a civilian should own and use too. Period. Full stop.
Why? For the same reasons the government/military/police NEED them!
Just another lying political correct revisionist history type of liberal teacher
sue the teacher and the school district
This is what happened under Communism folks. If you think we still have a democratic republic in this country, you are kidding yourself, The Progressives (code for Communists) have taken over this country using our own system against us.
TYPICAL STINKING LIBTARD TEACHER COVERING HER ASS! The parent is right with regards to the HEAD SHRINK request by the MORONIC PRINCIPAL and should go further with this problem with causing an eruption in the kids school time required by the States Education Laws! THEN SUE THE TEACHER FOR HARASSMENT and lying about the assignment.
NIKITA K. THE RUSSIAN SAID–”NO ONE CAN DEFEAT THE USA IN A WAR. BUT CAN DEFEAT HER FROM WITHIN. GIVE A LITTLE SOCIALISM SLOWLY UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETE SOCIALISM AND THAT IS COMMUNISM. IF WE LAST THAT LONG WITH BADMA AND KILLERY FLOODING US WITH MUSLIMS—CUT YOUR HEAD OFF. THEY ARE ALL RAISED TO BELIEVE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO KILL US IF WE DO NOT JOIN THEN 100% GUN CONTROL MEANS TAKE ALL THE GUNS FROM THE GOOD GUYS. IF WE HAVE NO DEFENSE—CUT YOUR HEAD OFF.
The student should sue the school board for illegally depriving him of his right to public education. I matters not what they think or feel unless it is also illegal for the student to do what he did. The First amendment trumps liberal feelings. The school board should be impeached for tromping on this student’s first amendment rights.
Another reason to vote for Trump…….better than the gun hating…abortion loving…muslim loving….piece of garbage trying to lie her way into the White House.
Welcome to Obama’s Islamic Marxist agenda, a lot like the soviet union under stalin?
This is old news I read about over a week ago.
God disciplines people and nations who turn their backs on Him, and there’s plenty of that to go around in today’s America. We are beginning to reap what we’ve sown, a generation (going on 2) of narcissistic, self centered, whiney, babies who need their “safe space” to run to if they hear or see something “upsetting” to their fragile little egos, who have no respect for any opinion that isn’t theirs, who don’t know (and don’t care) about God, Jesus, and what They can do for us and our lives, WE have created this, by mollycoddling our kids, giving them no Christ-centered guidelines to live by, no discipline (Heaven forbid we spank them!!!), and no parental leadership. I feel that this ship will never be righted in my lifetime, maybe several, not until we as a nation go down on bended knee and ask for His forgiveness. What happens between now and then is yet to be played out, but I guarantee it will not be pretty.
He’s a kid; and, he’s an idiot.
He knew, or should have known that anti-gun control is not a popular subject with this administration.
When he got the assignment, it should have been in writing with guidelines. When I got an assignment, it always came with a syllabus.
That the subject was so toxic, the instructor. when confronted with an explanation threw the student under the bus.
Never trust a Liberal,, even when the order is in writing.
If it was a black boy the civil rights would be on this case like flies on shit, Where the hell is the protection for the rights of White Americans. This family should sue for 10 million dollars for the disruption to the boy’s life.
Absolutely John however that will be buried under the rug no defense for the white community only “black lives matter” I have news for them ALL LIVES MATTER INCLUDING THE POLICE.
this is an outrage, our constitution is in siege, especially the 2nd amendment and if killary wins say goodbye to ameirca
Instead of falling back, quitting the school, and going for a GED, this young student should SUE! It’s time to attack these leftists, and sue them for every infraction they create. It’s surprising how effective a multi-million dollar lawsuit can be………
This is the kind of crap that the liberal media and Democrats are continuing to push.Everyone in this country needs to wake up and understand the importance of this coming election and it’s importance to civil rights ( 2nd amendment) and free speech.Electing crooked hillary will guarntee our becoming a third world nation.
This all started in the 1960s. The leftist grew from that farmers field let it all pot smoking idiots and like any cancer grew. Generations of these liberals are now driving the main stream media and elitist establishments as well of the Political landscape. This student and the parents should SUE the teacher as well as the school for subjecting him to any mental evaluations. The controllers of this country are a very sick bunch of self serving, lying anti constitution AND anti God, liberals. 1776 is just around the corner again. The silent majority is awake and IS NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.
I agree with the parents. But he may not have to settle for a GED. He can home educate his final months of school at home if his parents are willing to register as a private school or his parents can get him into a Private School Satellite program to home educate. Or he can take the state high school exit exam and graduate early by doing so and awarded his diploma early. If you have questions about this contact the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) and they can answer all your questions regarding the laws in your state.
get a good lawyer, quick
Outrageous and contemptible not to mention unconstitutional Vile Liberal Scum
gone amik. Way past time to hold these communists fully accountable to the Law.
Find a different school.
