レポートの内容

　弁護士を通じて、高校生の小論文が公開されました。下に全文を引用してあります。2箇所の赤字部分が「問題」とされた箇所です。

　この小論文の宿題は、「心に浮かんだことをなんでも書きなさい。けっして、自分で書く内容を審査judgeしたり検閲censorしたりしないように」というものだったらしく、「検閲については心配する必要ありません」ともいわれたそうです。

　問題となった最初の箇所は、過激なバンドGreen Dayの歌詞からの引用ということです。引用符も付いていますね。ここはおそらく争点にならないでしょう。教育委員会のほうでは、「たんなる暴力やきたない言葉遣いではなかった。それらを超えていた」とまでコメントしていたわけですから、歌詞からの引用だとわかって頭を抱えているかもしれません。

　ただ、検察側が問題視しているのは最後の箇所です。「あんたの文章能力に異論はないけど、でも先生としてはどうかね。初のcg銃撃を触発したって驚くなよ。」　"cg"とは"Cary-Grove高校"のこと。なるほど、コロンバイン高校やバージニア工科大学のような事件を想像させないでもない。いきなり逮捕したのはいきすぎだとしても、軽犯罪法違反の要件は満たすかもしれません。

　それにしても、この高校がどんな学校なのか、気になります。

　小論文の中でおちょくられている英語の先生は、たぶん、ちょっとしたことにハデに驚いて問題視したりする厳格な先生。最優秀のクラスを教えるにはいささか退屈な人。でも母性的な面もあって、生徒たちにお菓子をふるまったりする。しかし、生徒たちはお菓子をあまり喜んでいない。――高校生のコメントを信じるなら、そんなイメージですね。

　レスリング部の選手で、ミリタリーオタクの高校生が、「これぐらいでびっくりすんなよ」といたずらめかして過激な宿題を書いてきた。それを本気に取ってしまうぐらい、普段から生徒との間には距離があったということでしょう。

　そして、その先生のいうことをさらに主任、校長、教育委員会が真に受けて、警察に通報した、と。

　ちなみに、海兵隊はこの事件で高校生の志願を却下しました。訴えが取り下げられれば再申請してもよいとのことですが、高校生はたいへん落胆しているとのこと。

Blood sex and Booze. Drugs Drugs Drugs are fun. Stab, Stab, Stab, S...t...a...b..., poke. "So I had this dream last night where I went into a building, pulled out two P90s and started shooting everyone..., then had sex with the dead bodies. Well, not really, but it would be funny if I did." Umm, yeah, what to wright about...... I'm leaving to join the Marines and I really don't give a (obscenity) about my academics, so why does the only class that's complete Bull Shit, happen to be the only required class...enough said. The model citizen would stay around to vote in new board member to change the 4 years of English policy, but no one really stays around to vote for that kind of local crap, so whoever gets there name on the Ballet with a pretty face gets to do what the (obscenity) ever they want with local ordinance. A person is smart, but people are dumb selfish animals. We can't make rules for ourselves so we vote others to do it for us, but we can't even do that right, I meen seriously, Bush for President? And our other option was John Kerry who claimed to parktake in Vietnam Special Forces missions that haven't been declassified....(obscenity) Bull Shit. So Power Flower Super Mario. Pudge, hook, rot, dismember "Fresh Meat." Mostly new/young teachers are laid back, and cooperative with students as feedback and input into the curriculum and atmosphere. My current English teacher is a control freak intent on setting a gap between herself and her students like a 63 year old white male fortune 500 company CEO, and a illegal immigrant. If CG was a private catholic school, I could understand, but wtf is her problem. And baking brownies and rice crispies does not make up for it, way to try and justify yourself as a good teacher while underhandedly looking for complements on your cooking. No quarrel on you qualifications as a writer, but as a teacher, don't be surprised on inspiring the first cg shooting.

Authors Note: This production of writing is done in the most accurate manner I can depict of the original writing. Grammar and spelling mistakes are included at the best accuracy possible. The first phrase in questions is in fact a Green Day song. The second reference to drugs is in relation to the schools history of drug problems. I am personally clean of all controlled substances. The statement in quotes is done so as a non personal statement as I would have done in reference to a character for a story. The reference to the gun P90 is from a video game, combined with a reference to necrophilia as a comment regarding a seriously messed up situation. A situation such as the rape of villagers during a raid by U.S. troops in Vietnam. I really do not care too much about by continuing academia as in relation to grades. I do however believe on continuing my personal education, and I am actually still working for my classes. My views on the graduation requirements explain themselves. The reference to Mario and Pudge( a DOTA character) are completely random as is this essay. The reference to a person being smart and people being dumb is based on a quote from "Men in Black." I generally do believe the public opinion is best. The rest of the essay is rather self explanatory, the main statement in question I have already released a comment online about. I request that all information I have released is read together, and nothing given separately or as an excerpt as the administration has seen fit to do.

On an additional note, I have completed the MEPS (Military Entry Processing Station) examinations, and yes a psychiatric evaluation is included in the process. If I'm qualified to defend the country, I believe I'm qualified to attend school.
