The truth is, the case is not that fiction is illegal, but that the people involved failed to recognize fiction because their buttons got pushed.

No, Amos, the truth is that we don't know that it's fiction at all. That's what the kid said, sure. But even before someone above pointed out the other kids' comments and the teacher not having given an assignment to which the story would be a response, I thought it sounded like a fishy self-serving excuse.
