From an article in The Atlantic (theatlantic/national/archive/2014/09/in-cambridge-md-a-soviet-style-punishment-for-a-novelist/379431/) A 23-year-old teacher at a Cambridge, Maryland, middle school has been placed on leave and—in the words of a local news report—taken in for an emergency medical evaluation for publishing, under a pseudonym, a novel about a school shooting. The novelist, Patrick McLaw, an eighth-grade language-arts teacher at the Maces Lane Middle School, was placed on leave by the Dorchester County Board of Education, and is being investigated by the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office, according to news reports from Marylands Eastern Shore. The novel, by the way, is set 900 years in the future. Below is a petition. I gotta say I kinda wonder if race contributes to this reaction.
