Follow-up

[sleigh]

A follow-up: the LA Times is reporting today that the authorities in Maryland are saying that it wasn't his novels that caused Patrick McLaw to be removed from school and sent for "mental evaluation" but some mysterious four-page letter he sent to Dorchester County officials. This doesn't answer the question why this is the first time we're hearing about this letter and why all the initial reports claimed it was the novels that were the concern.

It rather reminds me of the Ferguson authorities changing their story when the initial narrative caused an uproar...

Oops... You're right; I'll make that correction. And yep, I too was wondering why a news outlet on the other coast was doing the follow-up to this and not someone much more local.
