Criminal charges will not be filed against a student after allegedly saying a math symbol looked like a gun.

On Tuesday afternoon, Allen Parish Sheriff's Office deputies investigated an allegation of terrorist threats at Oberlin High School, according to the department's Facebook page. The investigation revealed that a student was completing a math problem and drew the sign for square root. Deputies say another student made a comment that the symbol looked like a gun and several other students made similar comments. According to investigators, the comment made by the student in question "could" sound like a threat when taken out of context.

Detectives also searched the students home and found no evidence that he possessed or had immediate access to any type of firearm. Investigators say there was no evidence that the student had any intent to commit harm to students or faculty.

"The student used extremely poor judgment in making the comment, but in light of the actual circumstances, there was clearly no evidence to support criminal charges," stated on the Allen Parish Sheriff's Office Facebook page.

The matter was turned over to the Allen Parish School Board for determination of disciplinary action.

Wow, how did we ever get to this point as a country? What are they teaching these kids that they should be terrified of anything that remotely resembles a gun?

I remember taking toy guns to school and playing with them on the playground when I was a kid in elementary school. Now we have high school kids freaking out over the sight of a square root symbol? We need an overhaul of our school system (not to mention culture).

That is weapons-grade stupid.

Atheist and their zero tolerance policies get us here.

That’s irrational.

Well if he had put an orange tip on the square root it wouldn't have been a problem.
