Actually, this is worse than censorship.

It's "thoughtcrime".

Some legal experts said the charge against Allen Lee is troubling because it was over an essay that even police admit contained no direct threats against anyone at the school.

He had the wrong thoughts.  He is now being prosecuted by the law.

I'm not surprised this happened, to be completely honest. However I think the teacher took the wrong course of action. Typically if they feel disturbed by a student's writing, I think they should obviously have an intimate conference with the parents and the student and probably a guidance councelor/social worker, rather than automatically bring the authorities into it assuming that, because of recent events, disturbing creative writer = murderer.

If that's the case, Stephen King and Anne Rice better be incarcerated YESTERDAY.

The funniest assholes in this situation were the cops.

They'd last about 30 seconds in our squadroom.

Straight "A" student, huh?
To pull those grade you need to either be a rote zombie or repressing SOMETHING. 
Emotion was assigned, emotion was recieved.  Akin to being supprised when a dog locked ina  car on a hot day wants fresh air.

Public schools, per my own run, were none to easy on the brain.

(Well, I did generalize and all.  Fire at will, sir.)

Really, dude?  I was a mediocre student, but only because I didn't feel like working for a good mark.

Good grades aren't a bad sign, good behavior is.

I broke a kid's jaw in middle school yet I had a cumulative GPA of 3.7. What does that make me?

I'd be interested in reading the essay.

But regardless of what it states, being arrested for something like this is scary.
I can understand, maybe being pulled aside and talked to by the teacher maybe, but arrested for writing:  :eek:
