Ah...So That's When It Could Start

According to Peter Zimojic of the Telegraph, an essay written by a student at an Islamic school for a creative writing contest about a fictitous hero who "took his M16 machine gun and threw the bombs, and he showered the Jews," was praised by the two teachers who reviewed it.
"The pupil, who has not been identified, illustrated his creative writing assignment, which was written in Arabic, by drawing a picture of a Star of David in flames next to a machine gun. He also drew a Palestinian flag on top of the Dome of the Rock mosque in Jerusalem, one of Islam's holiest sites. Claims that the essay was put on display in a glass case at the entrance of the school, in Ottawa, are being investigated."
While the article doesn't mention what kind of school this is, other than that it is a private one, it says that the ages of the students go up to 13. Too bad, because I know just the college for this kid.
(I do just want to add that this story is (a) very vague and (b) the only one of it's kind that I've seen recently.)
