BobA 1,235 Posted April 11, 2019 As much as I’m happy to see the ACLU pound this school system over this I find it funny how they made it a 1st amendment issue skipping over the 2nd amendment. If these kids posted about daisies there wouldn’t have been an issue. The second applies just as hard in my opinion. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.app.com/amp/3427480002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper 6,372 Posted April 11, 2019 I'm surprised the ACLU is stepping into this, but fair is fair. Those kids were targeted unfairly by the communists in the school system. ..." LACEY, N.J. — The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of two students suspended from Lacey Township High School for posting photos of firearms to social media outside of school. The ACLU-NJ called the suspensions a violation of First Amendment rights. " The ACLU's complaint states that according to the School District, a parent of another student reported the Snapchat pictures March 12, 2018. The parent allegedly said the picture made her child nervous to come to school, according to the ACLU. https://patch.com/new-jersey/lacey/aclu-sues-lacey-district-gun-photo-suspensions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once the ACLU proofs their case the school system will need to get their check books out. The unfortunate part is the settlement will probably insurance money and the anal openings responsible will walk away without consequence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, the payout will probably come from insurance money, but the insurance company's lawyers will contact the BOE and let them know they do not appreciate the schools costing them money. At the end of the day, the insurance company is in it to make money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mreal75 9 Posted April 14, 2019 I think it may have been stronger to bring the case on violation of 1A rights based off past cases/precedent of student speech in schools. I don't think they'd have as much support if they filed the case focusing on the 2A issue, as much as I would've liked to see it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one supressed the kids 2A rights, but when they exercised their 1A right about shooting guns then they were reprimanded Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But clearly it was the subject matter of the pictures that caused the censorship and punishment. If they were fishing in the photos would the reaction be the same? I don’t think so. Their 1A rights were suppressed by trying an end run to suppress their 2A rights. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobA 1,235 Posted April 14, 2019 The ACLU are the hypocrites here. This article is them cowardly defining gun control against civil rights. In it they talk out of both sides of their mouth: https://www.aclu.org/blog/mobilization/aclus-position-gun-control 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
