HS students' suspension over gun range photo ignites uproar, potential lawsuit
A New Jersey school district that allegedly suspended two high school students this week over a gun photo taken during a family visit to a private shooting range is facing community backlash and the threat of a lawsuit over district policies.
The photo of four rifles, magazines and a gun duffel bag was shared by one of the students on the social media app Snapchat with the caption "fun day at the range," according to Lacey Township resident Amanda Buron, a family friend of one of the students.
A screen capture of the image made the rounds among other students and later brought to the attention of Lacey Township High School officials. Buron said the students received a five-day in-school suspension for violating the school's policy on weapons possession.

N.J. district facing backlash over gun photo suspensions changes policy
The Lacey school district quietly changed a policy last week that prohibited students from legally handling a gun off campus after being threatened with a lawsuit by a gun advocacy organization.
Though the district denied it disciplined two students after one posted a photo of firearms at a range, a family friend said the boys received five days of in-school suspension. One of the boys also said in a Facebook post that he and his friend were punished.
The discipline against the students ignited an uproar on social media and could lead to a big turnout at a board education meeting Monday evening at Lacey Township High School.
Before tweaking the language in the high school's student handbook, the policy said "any student who is reported to be in possession of a weapon of any type for any reason or purpose whether on or off school grounds," would be subject to penalties including up to a one-year suspension.
It now omits any mention of possessing a weapon off school grounds and doesn't mention a specific suspension length. It also includes a note on buses.

And before disciplining students, they must show the off-campus speech or behavior is truly disruptive. They can't just say, we got a phone call, and somebody was upset.
Even if these Lacey High kids had been breaking the law - smoking marijuana, say, or drinking underage - their school still doesn't have the right to police them off-campus. "The bottom line is, schools are in charge of kids when they're in school, and not in charge of kids when they're not," Shalom said.
That school district ultimately did the right thing in changing their shithead policy and not discussing disciplinary matters of a minor with the press. But they were also shady AF with the way they did it, in not announcing the change in policy, but just slipping it in like it'd been there the hole tim.
In the end, if the letter from the classmate saying the two in question were suspended is false; or if the suspensions under the shithead original policy were vacated, then it's a nontroversy in the narrow sense of that one particular incident in New Jersey.
However, I'm going to be read my kids' school handbook for anything similar.
