People that have been writing on this topic have assumed the news report is true. I submit that
the story was fabricated to make waves to assist in the defeat of the Patriot Act renewal. There
are aspects of this story that simply do not ring true for me. Frankly, I find it hard to believe
that Homeland Security has in interest in whether someone reads Mao's Little Red Book or not. Why
would they bring the book to the student to question him? Assuming they did, why not give it to
him once they learned his purpose for requesting the book? Why should faculty members decide not
to offer a course? If the story is true, why should we be fearful of being asked questions? I,
for one, remain skeptical of the veracity of this story as I sense a politcal motivation for its
publication.
