While straightening up the house this weekend, I came across this summary from a December issue of the magazine The Week:

Four Indiana high school students have been expelled for making a satirical film in which evil teddy bears attack a teacher. Knightstown High School officials say that because a teacher in the film has the same last name as an actual teacher, they considered the movie a threat, even though the local prosecutor reviewed the film and decided no laws had been broken. “It’s just like a nightmare,” said sophomore filmmaker Issac Imel. “I never expected anything like this.”

The students have been readmitted. What a wacky world we live in, huh?
