Students in Louisiana thought this math symbol looked like a gun. Police were called
Police in Allen Parish, Louisiana, searched a student’s home after a group of high-schoolers discussed how the square-root sign could look like a gun.
Hasnain says:
This whole story is sad.
Additional gem in the article:
> Students in the group began commenting that the symbol, which represents a number that when multiplied by itself equals another number, looked like a gun.
... how does the article writer not know how to explain what a square root is.
