Told to express emotion for a creative-writing class, high-school senior Allen Lee penned an essay so disturbing to his teacher, school administrators and police that he was charged with disorderly conduct, officials said Wednesday.
Lee, 18, a straight-A student at Cary-Grove High School in Cary, Ill., was arrested Tuesday near his home and charged with the misdemeanor for an essay that police described as violently disturbing but not directed toward any specific person or location.–Jeff Long and Carolyn Starks —Illinois police arrest teen after teacher “disturbed” by essay (Seattle Times)

Like the boy’s father, I can understand the concerns about potential violence.
The contents of the essay are still being withheld, so it’s hard to say whether the teacher’s fear was well-founded or not.
I’ll say this much: listen to the lyrics from popular rap music. There’s plenty of “violently disturbing” writing to be found there.
