This seems too unreal to be true.

A Dorchester County, Maryland, teacher was taken in for an "emergency medical evaluation," suspended from his job, and barred from setting foot on another public school. Authorities searched his school, Mace's Lane Middle School in Cambridge, for weapons. As classes resumed, parents worried that their children were in danger, so police decided to remain on the premises to watch over them.What happened? The teacher, Patrick McLaw, published a fiction novel. Under a pen name. About a made-up school shooting. Set in the year 2902.

He is currently at a location known to law enforcement and does not currently have the ability to travel anywhere.

He's probably being held with the kid who bit his sandwich bread into the shape of a pistol.

Our justice system is getting more and more ridiculous and paranoid as we get older as a country.

we need pen control!

but then again - if we all owned pens, we could all write our own science fiction novel!
