"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.

Hi RevGregory. I agree with sibling poster - this is a terribly unfortunate summary for an introduction to SN. Soylent is usually much better than this (and certainly should be much better than this!) Like Slashdot of old, we have our share of biases, crazy and wtf contributors and posters. I hope you'll try SN again sometime in the future and have a better experience. Regardless, this is wakeup call for the editors and community to keep things professional.
