This story definitely reminds me of when I was in High School, I made a few violent drawings in my math class (we were learning about logic and we were told to illustrate our examples). At the time nobody said anything to me about my violent pictures, everyone just praised my artistic ability. Well, it just so happens that a few weeks later the shootings at Columbine occured and everyone was scared around the country. A different teacher that I never had class with and therefore didn't know me, found my pictures I drew earlier in the year and began to take action. I had just come back from Spring Break when my math teacher hands me photocopies of my pictures and tells me that out of fear the school suggests that I get psychologicaly evaluated. Well I had nothing to hide and I definitely wasn't going to shoot anyone so I agreed. I spoke to the school psychologist once and that was that (I could sense his bordom with me as I was talking to him). Anyway, I just wanted to share that bit of story because I don't think the student who was arrested meant any harm. I know from personal experiance what he might have been thinking when writting such an essay and in no way was it sinister. Oh yeah, and years later when I was in my guidence councelor's office, I took a peak at my file and in it were the original pictures I drew with a note stapled that read in big red letters "SANE"
