I'm not sure why everyone who is commenting here seems to think that this story is about the student's essay -- it isn't. It doesn't matter if her essay was right or wrong, well-written or junk; the important part of the story is that she was allegedly harassed out of the school by teachers after writing it. That is just plain wrong! And it is a fact more damning--if true--of our education system than the student's original essay was. (Though I'm guessing that the claim that she was harassed of of the school by teachers is sure to be a controversial and as-yet unproven one.)
