Discovery of a spy plan that monitors high school students and gives a teacher an admonishment when it makes criticism against the government

ByEdwin Setiawan

Based on the new guidelines, FBI found that the high school in the U.S. instructed the students to report "students who are critical of government policy and potential to become terrorists in the future". Especially pay attention to children who are in poverty, children of immigrants, children who traveled to countries that are deeply involved with terrorism, and so on.

The guideline called Preventing Violent Extremism in Schools was enacted in January 2016. For the purpose of "Protecting children", they are also targeting children who are politically dangerous speaking or socio-economically isolated, but they are concerned as "to act as a monitor for the Muslim community" Has been received.

According to published materials, "High school is an ideal place to endorse their ideology for extremists and recruit overseas warriors to convey violence to people", young people have inherent risk factors It is said that. In accordance with the guidelines, high school teachers were instructed to give classes from ninth - 12th graders a class calling attention to extremists.

Among the teaching materials made for the students, as a sign that "I am planning to engage in violence", "I am talking about traveling to a suspicious place" "Talk about unusual words or use cryptography "I have studied about specific targets such as government buildings and taking pictures", "I have multiple mobile phones, I use private messaging applications", with illustration It was explained in.

Among the teaching materials, "extremists are thinking that government, law, police etc are unnecessary for society, the central leader is absent and organized gently.Target of violent extremists anarchist is usually , It is a symbol of capitalism thought to have a big influence on society such as large enterprises, government, police, etc. " Calling attention to those who disbelieve against the government and groups that criticize such as "decadent Western countries", as well as "extremist groups on animal rights and the environment" and "supremacist white supremacy It is said that there is a possibility that recruit high school students alongside terrorists as well. And when I saw the actions seen as violent extremists, I asked them to consult with "trusted people" including local law enforcement agencies, police and FBI.

At first glance the FBI guidelines warned high school students of the general 'danger', which does not seem to target Muslim students. However, as you look carefully, FBI always points to the threat of Islam as a name, and you can see that the difference between culture and religion is repeatedly repeated as a factor of "extremist futures in the future".

"The Muslims Are Coming!It is the author of a book called "Arun KundnaniSays, "While this document calls for high school to monitor more students signing extremists, the definition of" extremists "is ambiguous, written as a" extremist model " Things that are on the way are also messed up and there is no description of the difference between expressions of legitimate ideology and violent criticism. " Because Material is ambiguous, Mr. Kundnani may be doubtful even if Muslim students are interested in religion and politics unrelated to terrorism and in the end to monitor Muslim students I am worried that it may function as a guideline.

Although the program called Countering Violent Extremism (CVE / Violent Extremism measures) introduced by President Obama in the past has been argued as "to monitor the Muslim community", it is spreading in Europe and the United States I will. Particularly at UK public high schools that suffered terrorist attacks, they are instructed to report "Students with signs of extremists", but as part of the program, interrogation is conducted for the children without parental consent It is said that there are many cases. There seems to be a case in which the police are calling out the child merely by attaching a badge "Free to Palestine".

Naturally, the Muslim community is opposition to CVE and insists that "the government should stop the programs that condemn our community and isolate it from society", but Preventing Violent Extremism in Schools By introducing the FBI guidelines, the government is seen as trying to expand the scope of CVE.

The history of the act of measuring whether it is a radicalist or not by "religious behavior" and "political criticism" is the act of secretary FBI who oppressed the Vietnam anti-war movement in the United StatesJohn Edgar HooverIt dates back to the era of. Hoover, an acknowledged hero, has been reputed after his death and has now been accused of intelligence, extortion and political persecution. However, since 9.11, the method used by Hoover has been taken by many law enforcement agencies, from New York City Police Department to FBI.

The new guidelines explain that "the authorities are not seeking psychological or demographic profiles and which students tend to run extremists," FBI said, "concerns As the result of guidance conducted according to "actions of concern", the FBI uses guidelines to identify "students who may become terrorists in the future" You can say that.

American Civil Liberties UnionHugh Handeyside of the American Federation of Free Human Rights said, "The inclusion of" violence based on religious reasons "in the definition of violent extremists is nothing more than the fact that FBI is focusing on monitoring the community "Showing concerned actions" means that the FBI is monitoring the students' ideas and trying to predict the future caused by these ideas.
