"Tolkien lore led a Texas boy to suspension after bringing his “one ring” to school.
Kermit Elementary School officials called it a threat when the 9-year-old boy, Aiden, in a playful act of make-believe, told a classmate he could make him disappear with a ring forged in fictional Middle Earth’s Mount Doom."

“I assure you my son lacks the magical powers necessary to threaten his friend’s existence,” he later wrote in an email. "If he did, I'm sure he'd bring him right back."
