Also, full article (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com.au/news/2010-05-10/death-note-ban-in-albuquerque-high-schools-fails-vote).
I'd like to highlight some key points:
QuoteAt least two of the district's 13 other high schools — Valley High School and Atrisco Heritage Academy — also carry the manga in their libraries.
Quote. . .a student wrote "Death Note" on the upper right corner of the paper, but added that the list did not constitute a crime. Although the police are still investigating, Chief Norbert Micklos told WPXI, "There was nothing that substantiated a threat; just names and a date on it."
So, schools carry the manga, and students are allowed to make Death Notes. Like that Micklos guy says, it's no threat. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE:
Quote. . .a 14-year-old eighth-grade student from Pennsylvania's Avonworth Middle School was suspended after a "Death Note" list was found on a school bus last week. According to a mother of another eighth-grade student at the school, the notebook paper listed the names of several students in the same grade and teenaged Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber.
So, this proves that when Justin Bieber is offended, poop gets serious. Discuss (as usual, discuss anything that is even remotely related to the topic at hand - Justin Bieber, Death Notes, overcautious schools/adults, etc).
Um, who's Justin Bieber? A Twilight actor or something?
...And upon rereading your post, he's a singer. Woohoo.

Yeah, he's the internet's newest enemy. I haven't heard any of his music, though.
Justin Bieber (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2m0Kg7an9A) is the male equivalent of Miley Cyrus.
...or so I heard.

Seriously the fag isn't a intercourse ing male. Miley Cyrus is more of a dude than her. At least she has a deep voice. lol
It's one of those times where you seriously have to ask yourself what the intercourse is wrong with our species and why in gods name are girls mindlessly drawn to intercourse ing effeminate retards that inject estrogen into their bloodstreams so they avoid normal puberty.
Thank god that after high school age most women start acting like they have a brain.
Oh yeah. Same thing happened to Allegretto, except not as serious.
Al: Hey guys, check out this Death Note I bought!
People: Cool!
Security Cop Guy: Death Note? That could be dangerous.
Allegretto: F U!

Apparently his voice cracked in one of his videos, so the puberty train is coming but it is taking its good intercourse ing time to get there.
What's the big deal with Justin. My opinion on him is the following:
1) Stop worshiping him, he won't marry you.
2) He's done nothing wrong. No need to make hate groups and hit-lists. He didn't even do anything like Miley Cyrus giving lap dances to random old dudes.
I lol'd. Seriously. "Someone wrote Death Note on the corner of their paper, but no list was involved. IT IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION."
Are people really so worked up about this? Is writing the words "Note" and "Death" in a certain order really as bad as, say, smoking marijuana on school property? Seems like they're going to treat it that way.
Or is the only reason people are making a big deal about it the fact that Justin Bieber's name was written?
I am going to plant Death Note lists around my school, and see what happens.
I can't respect Bieber as an artist because he is given everything. "Here, we wrote a song for you. Here, Ludacris will 'sing' with you. Here's a record deal. Go look cute so teenage girls will give us money." If he had an amazing voice, then maybe, but he doesn't. He sucks.

Doesn't this happen with every other male (or in this case, questionable gender) teen star?

But no one besides the teenage girl wants to hear about him.
Though you know what is going to happen when he hits puberty, he is going to wonder how women like him can have such deep voices and is wondering why girls don't like him as much anymore. He will become a nobody!

This exactly. If he wrote his music himself, I'd leave him alone. The reason I hate him is well, he gets everything handed to him on a silver platter, and as a result he's one big egomaniac.
Thing is, even I would be a better singer than him. I just wonder how he made it into the celebrity world. :|
Not sure if Magnum mentioned it but two years ago I brought my Cosplay Death note to school to show him and I got suspended for it.
Cops got involved. It was pretty intercourse ed.
My friend has a friend who has a friend who apparently goes to the same school as Justin Bieber, and apparently he gets beaten up a lot.

It was Mrs. Olsen she was like "I think i'll have to report you" Next thing I know Mr. Richie is having me clean out my locker and officer goings is whining me out.
People are stupid.
Needless to say afterwards I wrote all of there names in the Death Note and then they all....well you know the rest.
He, Lelouch, whose your Shinigami? Purely out of curiosity, of course.
