Writing “I love Alex” on a school gymnasium wall brought a 12-year-old the same punishment as if she had made terrorist threats.
The Katy Independent School District rated the message, written with a baby blue marker by sixth-grader Shelby Sendelbach, as a Level 4 infraction _ the same as for threats, drug possession and assault.
I wonder what they’d do about the Google Wall of Ideas?
