"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.

    I doubt there is a single soylenter that saw this "article" and isn't shaking their heads saying "What The Fuck?"

    Close. I thought: "That looks like a hornet's nest. I'll let 'em rant at the top [of the thread] and try seeding it with some reasonable discussion."

    I imagined most of the audience here with bewildered and disappointed looks on their faces, almost exactly like those in the audience after the Pacers-Pistons [youtube.com] brawl.
