I have a solution... take all children from the Department of Children and Families employees. The reasoning is that if they are this paranoid of having a child twirl a pencil then they might be paranoid enough to be unfit parents given the same reasoning.

I wouldn't be surprised if they boarded up their kid's door and set up sandbags along the walls. And if the kid ever says the g-word, they get locked up for the evening.

If a illegal alien fought a child molester, would it be Alien vs Predator?

Trying to take this kid away from his family because of a twirling pencil is child abuse. They've already broken the rule they enforce.

Monmouth is fairly republican, and it's in the Northern half.

Wait, what if the alien and the predator were fighting because the predator's child twirled his pencil and the alien's child reported him to the teacher because he looked like he was gonna shoot someone and pissed off the predator?

Well there of course some exceptions. But keep in mind the North is where the vast majority of the population lives, and therefore voters. But, regardless of that. The state is still stupid.

Because proposed education programs in regards to safe handling and dispelling misinformation is equally ridiculous to the notion that pencil-twirling is the first sign of a mentally disturbed gunman.

It's a good thing he didn't point it vertically towards the sky, because he could have kicked off World War III.
