A high school senior in New Jersey was suspended from school and ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation after officials discovered he’d completed an anti-gun-control project for a class.
Student Frank Harvey said he completed the project last year after it was assigned by a teacher for a college readiness class.
“It was assigned by the teacher, and I got the topic, which was anti-gun control, approved by the teacher,” he told News 12 New Jersey.

| A definite violation of civil constitutional rights of the 1st and 2nd amendment. The school officials need to be brought to court and fined heavily and jail time would help their thinking. |

| Seems simple enough to verify the students statements. The school's actions and the apparent face-saving denial by the teacher; not so much. IOW, this report was the product of an assignment made by this particular teacher and the student received a grade for it. Surely she - and the school - can produce records, lesson plans, etc ? But this is not the first such incident resulting in a call for "psychiatric evaluation" by NJ educators. Since such actions pose the threat of life-long consequences, I'd suggest the student and/or parents obtain immediate legal counsel to preserve this student's rights and future. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
