A student at Weedsport Middle School sues after being suspended for a semester for having an allegedly "threatening" instant-message icon on his home computer.
(Notice the part about it being his HOME COMPUTER).
"Aaron was 15 years old in April 2001, when he created an icon for his home computer's instant-messaging program. (CNET News.com has witheld Aaron's last name because of his age at the time the suit was filed.)
The icon showed a gun pointing to a head, a bullet leaving the gun, and blood splattering from the head. It included the words "Kill Mr. VanderMolen," the name of Aaron's English teacher at Weedsport Middle School."
