Posted April 29, 200421 yr http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/West/04/27/artwork.investigated.ap/index.html PROSSER, Washington (AP) -- Secret Service agents questioned a high school student about anti-war drawings he did for an art class, one of which depicted President Bush's head on a stick. Another pencil-and-ink drawing portrayed Bush as a devil launching a missile, with a caption reading "End the war -- on terrorism." The 15-year-old boy's art teacher at Prosser High School turned the drawings over to school administrators, who notified police, who called the Secret Service. "We involve the police anytime we have a concern," Prosser Superintendent Ray Tolcacher told the Tri-City Herald newspaper. Secret Service agents interviewed the boy last Friday. The student, who was not arrested, has not been identified. The school district disciplined him, but district officials refused to say what the punishment was. Tolcacher said the boy was not suspended. The artwork was apparently part of an assignment to keep a notebook of drawings, according to Kevin Cravens, a friend of the boy's family. The drawing that drew the most notice showed a man in what appeared to be Middle Eastern-style clothing, holding a rifle. He was also holding a stick with an oversize head of the president on it. The student said the head was enlarged because it was intended to be an effigy, Cravens said. The caption called for an end to the war in Iraq. A message left by The Associated Press with an after-hours duty officer with the Secret Service in Washington, D.C., was not immediately returned on Monday. "If this 15-year-old kid in Prosser is perceived as a threat to the president, then we are living in '1984'," Cravens said. Tolcacher insisted it was not a freedom of speech issue, but a concern over the depiction of violence. "From what I saw, [school officials] were right to be concerned," Prosser Police Chief Win Taylor said. ------ Can They even punish him for something like this? I was the kid's dad I would hire a high class layer and make big time money.

In China they block tons of shit on their internet. They make it so you can only view stuff the govt wants you to see and nothing from out of country websites. They check your email etc. They arrest people all the time for getting past their stuff.
April 29, 200421 yr some "freedom of speach" eh actully when you enter a public school in the uniter states you give up some of your rights. like "the right to bare arms ", "freedom of speach", thats why they can have a dress code and your not allowed to bring guns to school

Guess you never heard of NSA's nifty little Echelon , It was intended for use internationally but it has been widely known that it is being used world wide (domestic USA included) Patriot act just gave them more justification
April 29, 200421 yr Guess you never heard of NSA's nifty little Echelon , It was intended for use internationally but it has been widely known that it is being used world wide (domestic USA included) Patriot act just gave them more justification you're right i havent, but then again i havent had my phone tapped, or anybody i knew taken away after they bad mouthed the government :D
April 29, 200421 yr If this 15-year-old kid in Prosser is perceived as a threat to the president, then we are living in '1984' first you bitch and moan cause 9/11 happened, and you hear speeches of "i'm sorry america (sob) we failed you!!!" in the 9/11 commission hearings. now that the govt follows up on reports about terrorism leads you say we're morons? why cause this stupid 15 year old who i bet doesn't even know how to clean his ass right, yet has vast knowledge on the war on terrorism wants the american govt to stop all efforts to thrwart terrorism. thats somebody who has some type of sympathy toward these radical morons. i'm glad they took his ass for questioning, probably pissed off his ultra liberal parents too. thats always a plus. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/football/nfl/04/29/bc.fbn.umass.tillmanfla.ap/index.html another moron. i actually got really mad when i read this.
April 29, 200421 yr Short poll: how many of you have actually read the patriot act? How many of you actually know what the acronym stands for? USA PATRIOT ACT Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Please, someone point out where your rights were "taken away" by this act. And this doesn't mean idiots saying "AS A WHOLE IT TAKES URR IGHTS!1 LOL!!1" No, this means you give me a section and a quote from the act that cannot be interpretted in any way other than taking away YOUR, as a normal American citizen (not a suspected terrorist), rights. And anyone who thinks they have any privacy on the internet since they're in the USA needs to read up about Carnivore and Echelon.
April 29, 200421 yr u guys bitch and moan about freedom of speech and all this bullshit, when you most of you dont even realize how great u have it.
April 29, 200421 yr Guess you never heard of NSA's nifty little Echelon , It was intended for use internationally but it has been widely known that it is being used world wide (domestic USA included) Patriot act just gave them more justification as far as i know internationally and world wide mean the same thing why do all of you spell speech 'speach' anyway the solution is to put the real bush's head on a stick and all your problems will be solved now watch me not get questioned by the RCMP because anti-war == terrorist logic is just moronic
