Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School
tanman writes "A student at the Houston-area Clements High School was arrested, sent to an "Alternative Education Center" and banned from graduation after school officials found he created a video game map of his school. School district police arrested the teen and searched his home where they confiscated a hammer as a 'potential weapon'. ' "They decided he was a terroristic threat," said one source close to the district's investigation.' With an upcoming May 12 school board election, this issue has quickly become political, with school board members involved in the appeal accusing each other of pandering to the Chinese community in an attempt to gain votes."
That's rather bizarre, I can't think it's the only reason. Just about everyone did the exact same thing in computer classes at school, the computer club at college and I even recreated our offices with The Sims, although wisely decided not to reveal it to the world, as it hugely insulted some residents.
This is the reason why I want my own island out in the med, means I can set the rules and drop all of this politcal correctness bullshit and kneejerk reactions.
