Phone Call A Day After Va. Tech Shootings Led To Clements Senior's Removal
May 2, 02:21 pm

A single phone call, made one day after the Virginia Tech murders by a parent whose child had played a computer game that “involved killing” and “took place inside an animated map of Clements High School,” led to the controversial removal of a senior from the school, a police report shows.

Details from the report, released by Fort Bend Independent School District officials on Wednesday, show the complaint by the parent led Clements Principal Kevin Moran and school counselor Alice Ledford to search for and find the 17-year-old boy’s personal web site on the morning of April 17, where a version of the popular Counter-Strike game could be played using a game map the boy created, titled “The Official Clements High School CS Map.”

“Moran stated that he felt this was a ‘threat’ to the safety and security of the school,” FBISD Police Officer J.B. Holmes said in the police report. By the end of the day, the boy had been removed from Clements and reassigned to M.R. Wood Alternative Education Center, and informed he won’t be allowed to participate with classmates in graduation ceremonies.

The boy, whose name was released in the police report, has not been identified on FortBendNow because he has not been charged with any crime. His removal from school sparked concern in the local Chinese community, and about 70 people showed up for an April 23 FBISD Board meeting to show support for the boy’s mother, who talked to board members in executive session about her son’s case.

The controversy took a political turn a week later, when four FBISD board members failed to show up at a special meeting called to apparently discuss mitigating disciplinary measures taken against the boy. About 120 people, who had packed the board room in support of the Clements senior and his family, were told the meeting was canceled.

Overreaction does NOT rectify under-reaction. Funny that they mention that he is Chinese.

Here's the link to the high school: http://www.fortbend.k12.tx.us/campuses/chs/

And here's the principal's email. Let him know what you think. [email protected]

Eh, the kid should get off. Unless they can show somewhere in the school of conduct that states "Thou shall not create computer generated maps for a first person shooter of this school"

 

[Killgore]

That's not the point. He may get off, but he has at the very least a tarnished reputation. Throwing around the word terrorist has replaced calling people communist in the 1950s and a witch in the 1700s.

 

[Darthphere]

I didn't see the word terrorist once in that article.

 

[Killgore]

Not in this one, but in others.

 

[Darthphere]

Then post those.

Oh, please.

There was a CS map of my high school.

I dunno what happened to it though...

 

[Darthphere]

I wish I had a CS map of my high school, mostly because my school's layout was ****ing ******ed.

funny

 

[Apollo]

how do you make your own counter strike maps anyways????

 

[Killgore]

Then post those.

Dude, what's gotten into you? You're usually pretty amiable, well to me at least. Maybe you need the Colbert avitar back.

Would if I could but I'm not at work to check my history. I only posted the original article. The other one had "suspected terrorist" in the headline.

Point is, it's the indicative of the typical bullsheite that follows after a tragedy. One farked up dude goes on a shooting spree and administrators react by jumping at the slightest queef.

 

[Darthphere]

I am being amiable. You're the one that brought up the terrorist thing, I said that was never said in the article, you stated it was in other articles, I asked you to post those articles. Whats the problem?
