Fourth Grader suspended

Zero Intelligence reported:
Fourth Grader suspended for failing to answer test question
Nine year-old Tyler Stoken, a student in the Aberdeen Public School District, didn't know how to answer an essay question on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning test. As punishment for leaving the question blank his principal suspended him for five days.

Tyler paraphrases the question saying, "You look out one day at school and see your principal flying by a window. In several paragraphs write what happens next." He's asked, "So why didn't you answer that question?" He says, "I couldn't think of what to write the essay without making fun of the principal."

Zero Intelligence is not a proper term for this. It was Negative Intelligence. That question is absoutely stupid, and if he had answered it, he would have been more exposed to suspension because practically any anwer I can think of could be viewed as a treat to the principal. The superintendent wants Tyler immediately re-instated at school. But Tyler doesn't want to go to that school any more and you can't blame him. He was manipulated and then punished because he couldn't answer a test question.
