Chloe Selman, a 14 year old, was expelled from HPA for making a joke. Sure, the joke was a little harsh, but come on. First of all, it was to a friend who was sure to get the joke and not be offended by it. Second of all, she's 14. People at such age are prone to making jokes like the one she made. She never meant any harm with it, only poking fun. And now, she's out of her best shot of learning on this island we live on. Finally, without doing any name calling, the school has let a lot more slide. But they are cracking down on this 14 year old for making, what she though at the time, to be a harmless joke? Honestly, I was enraged when I heard this news. So here I am, trying to defend it. I hope you see my points as well, and sign this petition. Thank you so much for your time.

Chloe is very intelligent and absolutely deserves to come back because HPA needs this incredible student.
I talked to Chloe and she said she already got suspended for this. she's already been punished enough.
That's ridiculous. There's much worse happening in New York schools that children are only getting one day suspension or a referral for. Though it was a little harsh, it was obviously a joke meant to humor a close friend . Calm down HPA. Hawaii needs to chill man
Jokes are simply that- jokes. Yes, they can be offensive, or meaningfully hurtful, but even if they are there is no reason you should be expelled for a joke, especially if you are telling it to a close friend. School is a place where you can learn from mistakes, not be expelled and harshly punished for one. If the joke really was that bad, a short suspension might have been reasonable. However, possibly damaging a young person's life forever (in the area of education, at least) is irresponsible. Bring Chloe back!
The situation should've been handled differently, at the worst she should've been suspended for a few days, expulsion is way over the top.
Really for a joke someone should be expelled?
It was a joke!

The thing about HPA is, they let bigger things than this slide with sometimes just a trip to the office. But oh noooo, somebody makes a joke!
