Creative Writing Essay Results in Arrest

A Chicago High School student was arrested for disorderly conduct based on an essay he wrote for his creative writing class.  The students were instructed not to censor anything and to write about anything they wished.

Adding insult to injury, a second disorderly conduct charge was leveled for scaring his teacher.  Allen Lee, an honors student, was also transferred to an Alternative School.

Chicago is quickly traveling down the road to facsism.  First it was restauranteurs being turned into criminals for selling foie gras, now wiritng fiction for a creative writing class warrants criminal charges.

“The fatal wound was made by a .223 tactical round that was believed to have been fired by an MRT member,” said acting State Police Superintendent Preston Felton.
