Student arrested, threatened with expulsion over bomb essay.
On a State exam (Standards of Learning essay exam, creative writing), a student penned a ficitional story about a fictional student gifing his fictional school with a nuclear bomb. Chris Bullock, 16, was arrested on May 14, 2 months after his essay was written (and pre-Columbine) after test readers grew alarmed at the content. He was charged with threatening to bomb a school. There was no comment from authorities at Tallwood High School (Bullock's school) as they haven't seen the essay.
So its come to this folks. Orwell's thought police are in charge and harassing children for following instructions to be creative on a creative writing exam.
