Apparently nothing is beyond the purview of the Feds these days. Nothing is off limits – even schoolwork – especially if it calls into question anything related to the US Federal Government. RT America has the story of a teenager whose school project got him a visit from the Feds and a lot of questioning. It certainly seems to show a sense of insecurity on their part to pick on a student in this manner and attempt to use him for their own nefarious purposes.
A 16-year-old high school student’s video report for his American Government class earned him an A+ from his teacher. It also yielded a visit from the FBI.
Justin Hallman says that a project he put together for school that included information on the National Defense Authorization Act, Rep. Ron Paul, Anonymous and the Occupy Wall Street movement was well received in the classroom, but wasn’t exactly praised by others. After agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation saw a copy of Hallman’s finished work on YouTube, they paid a visit to his own home.
The boy’s mother says the FBI showed up at their home one month after the class project was first turned in and told her, “We need to talk to your son.” Once inside, Justin Hallman says he was drilled about his thoughts on an array of issues included in his project.
…Hallman says the meeting wasn’t an informal chat, either, but even involved a proposition. According to the high-schooler, the FBIs attempted to recruit Hallman as an undercover source to scoop up more information on Anonymous and Occupy Wall Street.
Well, given some other things he mentioned, this isn’t surprising…
