A class discussion between students at a Louisiana high school about a math symbol resulted in a police investigation and a search of one student’s home, the Miami Herald reported citing the Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Detectives were called to Oberlin High School in Oberlin on Feb. 20 to investigate a terroristic threat over comments made after one of the students was completing a math problem involving the square-root sign.
