What is astonishing is that his Art teacher Lloyd Harold, who appears the only sane person at Pooler, helped the boy shade the sketched eyes to make the image look creepier.
Pevey, however, immediately contacted assistant principal Valerie Johnson and Campus Police. I kid you not. Now, that this point one would expect Valeria Johnson to send Pevey out for psychiatric evaluation. Instead, Johnson and Pevey grabbed the kid with the Halloween mask picture. They said that he might not only be a Bloods gang member but each drop of blood may represent a person that he had killed.
The kid was told that unless he passed the test to show that he was not homicidal — he could not come back to school. That would be eight people before he finished the fifth grade. That rate of carnage would put Jeffrey Dahmer to shame.

The school district has two teachers who clearly lack a modicum of judgment or training or, it seems, intellect. Before they are allowed to resume watching over children, isn’t some additional testing and training warranted?
The motto of the school is Super Citizens with Brains in Motion are a Perfect Fit — a curious claim when some members of the teaching staff show little evidence if any cognitive ability at all.
