Tomorrow morning at 7:15 [that's today - Oatka] my wife and I have a meeting at Harbor Lights Middle School in Holland with the principal, 2 assistant principals, and 4 members of the "Hazard and Risk Assessment Team".
My 12 year old son has been accused of being a risk because he spoke about the 2nd Amendment in his social studies class.
We have been able to determine that he has their attention because he often speaks of the importance of the 1st as well as the 2nd Amendments - but the comment that triggered this action was when his socialist studies teacher, Mrs.Perkins asked him to participate in a classroom discussion about school shootings and safety.
My son simply stated that his opinion was that he would feel safer if some of the adults at the school were trained and allowed to carry firearms.
As a result, my wife received a phone call at 9:00 PM Tuesday night in which we were informed that West Ottawa Public Schools feels it is necessary to separate my son from the other students and have him enter the "Mentor" program in which he would be put under the watchful eye of an adult to monitor his thought processes.
We were told that this would be in the best interest of my son, and by doing this the school would not have to involve Social Services.
We refused.
At this point I have been in contact with an attorney in Grand Rapids (through the NRA Institute for Legislative Action) and have been told by a counsel at the Rutherford Institute that they will be willing to take on this issue.
Oh, yes. I failed to mention that in January, as a part of Martin Luther King Day, my son refused to sign the "Red Letter" which was written by the principal Jerry Klomparens. In it the students are to take an oath to turn in their friends for suspicious activity, to vow to never defend themselves if attacked, and something to the effect of never to use a gun or other weapons.
But we have been assured that this had little to do with my son being labeled a threat. And the funny thing is that 3 of the "team" members are also my son's teachers - and they claim they did not know there was any situation. Bottom line - the meeting is hours away at this point and I am willing to listen to any advice. Please advise!
Thanks,
Tim Loutzenhiser"

Michiganders, and others, think about joining this organization for $15 a year. I did, and I'm from Nevada! These folks put out an interesting quarterly newsletter and are active in lobbying the legislature. They don't harrass you for contributions, which is another reason I support them.
