I would like to get some advice my 13 year old son who has NEVER been in trouble before at school has just been expelled from Vernon NJ township schools for making a "gun like motion " in math class. In reality he was twirling a pencil near his ear. Another student who sits behind him (who my son had an earlier disagreement with at lunch time) yelled out "he is making gun motions, send him to juvie". At this point the teacher sent my son to the principals office. I was called and went to the school where I was told my son was being evaluated and would need to see a therapist before he could return to school. So in essence he has been expelled. I recorded the 1.5 hour conversation where it became apparent that the school does not believe any gun like motion actually took place but that they were covering their positions by "following procedure".
I feel my sons right to an education is now being denied because of the malicious actions of another student. The recording clearly shows this was a malicious act by another student to cause my son to be sent to the principals office which resulted in his being expelled.
What can we do? Schools are getting so overly sensitive it is ridiculous.
