"Tolkien lore led a Texas boy to suspension after bringing his "one ring" to school.

Kermit Elementary School officials called it a threat when the 9-year-old boy, Aiden, in a playful act of make-believe, told a classmate he could make him disappear with a ring forged in fictional Middle Earth's Mount Doom.

"It sounded unbelievable," the boy's father, Jason Steward, told the Daily News. He assures his son "didn't mean anything by it."

The Stewards had just watched "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies" days earlier, inspiring Aiden's imagination that he had in his possession, the one ring to rule them all.

"Kids act out movies that they see. When I watched Superman as a kid, I went outside and tried to fly," Steward said.

Aiden claimed Thursday he could put a ring over his head and make him invisible like Bobo Baggins, who stole Gollum's precious in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy series "Lord of the Rings."

"I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend's existence," he later wrote in an email. "If he did, I'm sure he'd bring him right back.""

Unbelievable. SMH

Liberalism? Reads more like a conservative school official worried that
a belief in one kind of make believe interfered with another much more
widely accepted kind of make believe, especially in a backwards state
like Texas.

News articles about the boy in question claim he previously was
suspended for bringing to school a one volume encyclopedia that
mentioned pregnancy.

Backwards school?

Only your weird and warped mind would try to turn this story into an anti-religious rant.

Then they're all backwards, as this kind of thing is happening not just all over the US, but in Europe and Australia as well.

There are lots of comments on the make-believe religious aspects of
Tolkien's books and the connection to the make-believe aspects of more
"acceptable" religions.

Oh, I get it...you think "liberal arts graduates" means...*liberals*.
Well, it doesn't. It's just this, from Google:

The liberal arts (Latin: artes liberales) are those subjects or skills
that in classical antiquity were considered essential for a free person
(Latin: liberal, "worthy of a free person")[1] to know in order to take
an active part in civic life, something that (for Ancient Greece)
included participating in public debate, defending oneself in court,
serving on juries, and most importantly, military service. Grammar,
rhetoric, and logic were the core liberal arts, while arithmetic,
geometry, the theory of music, and astronomy also played a (somewhat
lesser) part in education.

Thanks for the giggle. Those pesky, pesky *liberal arts graduates*

Ah, so you didn't know that those very graduates are far more liberal than the general public, in great part to their indoctrination while in college?

You need to start taking an active part in civic life. The best way you
can do that is pay all your back taxes. While you're at it, you should
make restitution to the creditors you cheated out of hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

I am confused. Did he point the ring at someone and say "bang"?

He was branded a terrorist, because he told a friend he could turn him
invisible, like Bilbo Baggins, if he put the "one ring" on his head.

This was in Garnett, KS which was 69% Romney. This couldn't be PC,
because it isn't correct, it is just plain crazy.
