We welcome our thought police overlords
Finding this article disturbed me, thank you very much. From TFA I read that a "straight-A" student used his imagination and poetic license (yes, I think I would call it that) and got arrested because his teacher was "disturbed" by what he wrote. With out even attempting to discuss this with the student or his parents (well, there was no mention if these efforts were made), the school decided it was better to simply arrest the young man.
Without speaking out of school, here (heh, an ironical joke) I can safely say I would have probably suffered the same fate with some of the stuff I wrote. Even worse for some of the stuff I have written that no one (but me) has ever read.
I'm against a system that can't tolerate free expression. So when they come for me for this blog, you all will know that it's over for us ...
