I just finshed reading that article Brian posted about the high school who got arrested on terroist charges and words can not describe how appaulded I am.

For one thing, something like this happened to me, just not as bad as getting arrested. When I was a junior in high school I wrote a poem for the school paper. It was a dark angsty peice about how I had to kill everyone because they became evil, and I didn't like having to do it. It didnt say anything about the school, or did I put peoples names in it. I didn't think it was that good, I mainly wrote it because all the other poems submitted where about pajamas and the love of ones family. Regardless, alot of students at my school liked it, even the faculity.

But then the Administration became "concerned" about me. So they talked to me and my dad about the poem and my well being. They didn't really do anything to me, I guess because they had already published the poem. But I was very angery of the fact that my dad and I had to defend myself and my art.

One of the things that angers me so much about that article was :
Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.

How can he say that and not realize that the law in question is breaking freedom of speech?

So is there anything I can do to help this kid? Is there a fund going up for his defense? Is there anybody from Kentucky here who can give me some more information?

Anything, because if there is one thing I know, its fustrating having to defend your art.
