Little Red Book Draws Government Attention 1088
narcolepticjim writes "An unnamed Dartmouth student was visited by Homeland Security for requesting a copy of Mao Zedong's Little Red Book for a class project." From the article: "The student, who was completing a research paper on Communism for Professor Pontbriand's class on fascism and totalitarianism, filled out a form for the request, leaving his name, address, phone number and Social Security number. He was later visited at his parents' home in New Bedford by two agents of the Department of Homeland Security, the professors said."

Not yet, but if your plan works the DHS will get increased funding for more agents to investigate the "epidemic of thinking".

"The student told Professor Pontbriand and Dr. Williams that the Homeland Security agents told him the book was on a "watch list." They brought the book with them, but did not leave it with the student, the professors said. "
So the kid still needs a copy to finish his assignment.

I find your questioning of this crusader for justice irresponsible, dangerous, and unpatriotic.
You can expect a visit from the Goonie^H^H^H^H^H^H FBI within the hour.

I won't forget the third-grade class

I wrote that in my head when I had to work at K-Mart the day after the 9/11 attack, telling people constantly that we were out of flags (what, you didn't care about them a week ago?), and hearing patriotic music blaring on the radio.
