Students playing the addictive Counter Strike are nothing uncommon today, but things went seriously wrong for Texas teenager when he got suspended from Clements High School for playing Counter Strike in his home computer, on a level which closely resembled his high school.
The whole story came into light a day after Virginia Tech Shooting when a parent called the Clements High School to inform that their child was playing a video game which involved killing and took place inside an animated map of Clements High School. School authorities then found a website which had that map for download, but unfortunately the creator of the map was a student at their school.
Law enforcement authorities were informed and they questioned the teenager. According to the police, the teenager never intended to cause any violence or to kill someone. His locker and computer were searched, but they found nothing illegal.
Whether he was right or wrong, I leave that question to you, but what the school authorities did was seriously wrong. It’s simply a game and millions of kids across the globe play CounterStrike, why hurt his education just because he created a school map for the game?
