Drawing gruesome pictures in school

This is kinda similar to another story about a girl who was suspended out in Colorado for writing a story about killing a teacher.
Granted they are a little more on edge about stuff like that because of Columbine, but her story was meant only as fiction and it was clear that was the case after reading it. She didn't say she was going to kill any specific teacher or anything.
Wsan't that a case where she had written in her journal, then passed that journal to her friend to read... in class? Then when the teacher confiscated it, and read it, the school found out about the story?

Here's a thought: how about she not do distracting shit like pass her journal around in fucking class? She can't argue invasion of privacy if she was exposing her work for public consumption. And as for it being a "work of fiction", what if it inspired her or someone who read it down the road to turn it into reality?

In this day and age when idiot kids always seem "inspired" by the rather fictitious world of movies and video games when they go out and shoot someone, or pull some other lameass stunt (or their parents always blame those sources at the very least), we can no longer say, "oh well it was only harmless fiction, no one should think it has any basis in reality". It may not have been about a specific teacher <i>at that point</i>, but who knows what could happen in the future, when someone who has read the work decides to personalize it to fit their own agenda, then does go about focusing on a specific teacher.

Yes, it's all semantics, but let's be clear about one thing: both instances could have been avoided had the children <i>paid attention in the classroom and actually dedicated themselves to learning, rather than goofing off drawing pictures or writing in their diaries.</i>

Pffft. Like <i>that</i> would ever happen. Rolleyes

&lt;center&gt;Boy the way Glen Miller played,
songs that made the hit parade,
guys like us we had it made,
those were the days,
and you know where you were then,
girls were girls and men were men,
mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again,
didn't need no welfare states
everybody pulled his weight,
gee our old Lasalle ran great,
those were the days!&lt;/center&gt;
