It's actually a pretty lame story. A friend and I decided that for recess we'd sort of LARP a made up war; he was America, I was France (I don't remember why); I drew a crude sort of propaganda thing of my armed troops (stick figures with guns) marching with tag-line that went along the lines of "tactics to crush American swine". He got caught with his, which lead to them finding mine, the next thing I knew I was called to the principal's office, suspended, and had to endure lecture after lecture which culminated in my mom having me watch a documentary about some kid getting falsely imprisoned for murder because he drew scary pictures or some shit. In retrospect, I believe that my unusual name and racially ambiguous looks coupled with post-9/11 paranoia are what caused the staff to flip the fuck out.
