Has anyone informed the relevant authorities, state and lcoal about other dangerous writings & books that even now may be lurking in the school's libraries ?
I'm thinking of such morally dubious tracts as 'Oliver Twist' in which a criminal mastermind grooms vulnerable young runaways in a dubious relationship with overtones of paedophilia and encourages them to take up a life of theft based on pickpocketing, pilfering and burglary.
This book by an author who had suspect extra marital relations and is of foreign extraction, also contains scenes of appalling brutality and animal cruelty.
There is also another work by a morally suspect Eurocommie, called 'the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet' which takes a perverse delight in its inclusion of underage sex, gang warfare, poisoning, murder, suicide, pandering and urban decay. It is also set in that hotbed of licentiousness and debauchery, Italy.
Then of course there are those other degrading and corrupting items, films, such as 'Zero de Conduite' and 'If' , and something which my neighbours assure me is extremely distasteful, even if the title didn't give it away, and sad to say is by an American: 'Moby D!ck'.
Where will this tide of filth end?

I have been to HS, and read fiction that was written there. That's precisely why I'm reserving judgment. All we know about this kid is that he writes stories about killing schools full of zombies, and therefore must be completely innocent, the school is taking this far too seriously, and so on.
I was marked for a Columbiner in HS myself, after I made an injudicious sarcastic reply to a heckler. In Chemistry class, I listed the precise formula for gunpowder, fifteen to three to two. Some kid turned and looked at me, said, "Hmm, I wonder why YOU know all this stuff?"
I replied, rolling my eyes, "Yeah, right, moron, I'm stockpiling black powder. All I need now is a muzzle-loader and I'll be up in the bell-tower blasting all the little ants, maaaaaan!"
I had to have a full-scale, extremely pompous psychological evaluation before they would let me back in school. So I don't rush to assume that teenagers or school administrators will have a great deal of sense.

Thank god I'm not in Amerika .
You see , I take delight in learning chemistry - the "politically incorrect" type . I know at least ten ways of blowing the chem lab up ( with time delays , if necessary ) , three or four poison gas production methods , and two to three explosive mixtures - all from material very easily accessible in the chem lab , and actually for use by students ( and I can do it rethar fast , too ) .
I never have , and most probably never will , have need of this information , yet I like to know it on the principle "better have it and not need it than need it and not have it" . In India , in a private school , I can discuss these and the science behind them with teachers rather freely , without fear of some nutjob hetting his panties in a twist about some psychosis I might have . In the USA , I doubt if I would last a day .
Freedom of speech and expression does have some value , you know . One that seems to be eroding rather fast in the US of A .

Not for youth. If you are young you are on lockdown, and pretty much live in a fascist state.
You used to get full rights at 18, but things are getting delayed further and further now. Especially if you are still in school. Despite being a legal adult, William Poole still was a victim of ageism and anti-youth hysteria.
