Has freedom of expression become a casualty in the post-Columbine world?

Recently a teenage boy was sent to a psychiatric ward after writing a creative story about killing a teacher. There are other cases in Texas where a middle school student was held in juvenile detention for six days in 1999 for a Halloween essay for which he received an 'A'; in Kansas, where an honors student was expelled in 2000 for her poem 'Who Killed My Dog?' about seeking revenge against someone who killed her dog; and in Louisiana, where a student was punished in 2001 for a two-year-old drawing he created at home that pictured his school under attack.
