PROFESSOR 2 had STUDENT in his summer 1 terrorism class and speaks highly about STUDENT. PROFESSOR 2 told me an interesting story.  Students in the terrorism class were all required to choose a terrorist group to research and write a paper.  STUDENT chose Hamas.  STUDENT got a call from the FBI wanting to know what STUDENT was doing.

PROFESSOR 2 had a good laugh about it but STUDENT was scared to death!  It makes PROFESSOR 1 more than a little upset.

I'm thinking that, as parents and grandparents and teachers, we need to bring up kids aware that Big Brother is watching.  Some of them will defy Big Brother, as those of us who are veterans of the Civil Rights Movement did.  Others will fall into line.

But we owe them the truth.
