The Journal Gazette
(Ft. Wayne) A Carroll High School student defended a friend and classmate Monday who was expelled from school this month for writing a book critical of the school administration.
Jeff Fraser, a 17-year-old senior and founder of the Allen County Teenage Republicans, wrote a book titled Carroll that was modeled after Jon Stewarts book America. The book blasted the administration for its lack of diversity, criticized teachers and their methods and singled out a few students in what was meant to be a satire, said Frasers friend, Sam Wysong, 17.
I understand that the administration feels very offended because the book was written mainly about them, but things must be kept in perspective, Wysong told the Northwest Allen County Schools board Monday night. Expulsion seems like an overreaction to a first-time offender of this nature.

DK note: Schools and the administrators are becoming more and more like dictatorships than taxpayer funded entities in my view.
