"An eighth-grade language arts teacher from Maryland has been placed on administrative leave after school officials learned he allegedly authored two books containing questionable content under a pseudonym.
Local network WBOC News reports that the investigation concerns two books published by McLaw under the nom de plume “Dr. K.S. Voltaer,” and one is about a fictional, futuristic school shooting that goes down in history as being the largest ever in the United States.

This is lunacy. School administrators are terrified there will be another Columbine or Sandy Hook and are overreacting, or are they. What could they do to prevent one. Nothing, nil, zero. No need to ask yourself 'why', say thank you to the traitorous NRA , the propaganda arm of the small arms manufacturing industry, for blocking any form of gun control. They have successfully infected the country with The American Disease™ almost unfettered access to weapons of war that kill with brutal efficiency. Sadly there appears to be no cure.

How is this not a thought crime?
Written words are thoughts on paper.
This person is being punished because his thoughts are not in line with what school's admins think is "correct". Same as the teenager in the USA who got arrested for saying he killed his neighbor's pet dinosaur with a gun.
Say something that isn't "correct" and in line with the majority group think and you will be treated as a criminal by the powers that be.
So the real question is what will have to happen to change it?
