So now we're into Phillip K. Dick style "pre-crime"...

In Maryland, a Soviet-Style Punishment for a Novelist
Atlantic, 1 Sep 2014

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 Mace's Lane Middle School, was placed on leave by the Dorchester County Board of Education, and is being investigated by the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office, according to news reports from Maryland's Eastern Shore. The novel, by the way, is set 900 years in the future.

So now he wrote a letter over the summer and just recently 'detained' for evaluation....

The main concern here is therapeutic, that he gets the help he needs.

Of course. Thank you for your empathy.

Please ignore the screaming down the hall...
