I don't believe this. My nephew Shaikin was sent home from school yesterday with this note:

Dear Ms. Hans,

We regret to inform you that your son Shaikin has been permanently expelled from our school.

This morning in Shaikin's first-period history class his teacher, Ms. Markie, noticed that he was intently drawing when he should have been paying attention. Curious, Ms. Markie approached his desk. When Shaikin spotted her he hurriedly tried to hide his work, but Ms. Markey intercepted it and was horrified by what she saw.

The paper contained nothing short of a premeditated plan to assassinate Ms. Markie. It included a detailed drawing of the weapon to be used as well as a graphic depiction of Ms. Markie's lifeless body after this heinous crime had taken place.

Following school district policy, the police were immediately notified and Shaikin was questioned at length. After many hours with police psychologists, he was released. While the police contend that your son is harmless, we vehemently disagree. For this reason your son is no longer welcome at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. In fact, if he comes within one thousand yards of school grounds, the police will be called.

We wish your son well in furthering his education. We state unequivocally, though, that it will not be at our school.

Sincerely,
Arthur S. Cleniss
Principal
