On the afternoon of Feb. 20, detectives investigated a report of terroristic threats at the school, where they learned that a student had been completing a math problem that required drawing the square-root sign.

Students in the group began commenting that the symbol, which represents a number that when multiplied by itself equals another number, looked like a gun.

Well it is Lousy-anna... I'm gonna pay for that one.

time to outlaw math....

jfc.....what a collection of morons that are being trained today.....

what's the ol' adage, "....back to the womb"

Guess what. 4th Amendment was just violated, wasn't it?

Jokes on them, this kid and his family are about to become VERY wealthy.

Where is the probable cause here? I cannot see it.

I would think that with the recent school shooting, with the lack of checking up on a percieved problem that all LEOs are being cautious.

Just my theory. Not a lawyer nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

I will say this, if this truly was what it was perpetrated to be and the cops did nothing and a shooting occurred, they'd be slammed in the media.

I think right now it's all knee jerk.

I blame the kids cause they obviously haven't cracked a math book to know what that was. I still do that house for division as well.

Someone probably wrote a dossier on him real quick. That's all that is needed.

There was more to it than just the square root sign that the article didn't cover.

Quote:Sheriff Hebert explained that the online gossip about the Oberlin High student spread so far that the rumor did not accurately depict the truth at all.

Allen Parish School District Superintendent Michael Doucet explained that it was a poorly judged quip between one student to another in a math class.

"The students were working together, and a student made a math symbol of a square root sign, which kind of looks like a pistol. And he was helping a weaker student, and the student says, 'Well, that looks like a pistol!' And he just made a comment [like] 'let's just get to work before I shoot you with a pistol,” said Superintendent Doucet.

Gossip turned it into a rumor about the student plotting to carry out a mass shooting at Oberlin High School. The rumor warranted a search of the student's home for guns.

"He did not commit a crime. He did not commit anything remotely criminal, nothing to remotely suggest any intent to do actual harm,” said Hebert.

In response, the school board set a new policy.

Any student accused of talking about guns or school shootings will be investigated by three entities: the school board, the sheriff's department, and the district attorney's office.

If an incident like this occurs again, Doucet explained the protocol.

"The first thing we're going to do is remove that student from the premises with proper authority. Then, we're going to have a home visit done by detectives of the sheriff's department, and if no charges are filed, we're going to conduct a threat assessment on the student,” Doucet said.

I don't know which is sadder, the fact that these snowflakes were so scared by a mathematical symbol someone DREW they called the police or that the state education has deteriorated to the point where they don't know what a square root looks like.

Stupid should hurt.

Love.

Oh No! Why did I write "ove" with a pistol pointing in the air in front of it? Everybody run!

the dumbing down of American continues...

Lord help them the next time a student dares try division.

I think they changed the article. It originally said that any student that talked about shooting or guns would be investigated by three bodies. Including home search by law enforcement and having a "threat assessment" done.

For talking about a gun.

Then they can go to Civics class and learn about the Bill of Rights and how they have freedom of speech and protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
