So - did the school overreact? Possibly - but that is their choice. Just because this kid was so stupid as to turn in drawings that are filled with hate (no matter who it is directed at), does not absolve the authorities to deal witha situation when reported. The Secret Service had no choice but to follow up as they did, because that is their job. They have to follow up on these reports, no matter the circumstance. Now - again, did the school and police over react? Yes. Could they just have talked to the kid? Yes. Still - could the kid actually take some responsibility for the choice he has made? The kid is an idiot - and I cannot feel sorry for that.
