Elementary Student Threatened with Psychiatric Evaluation After Visiting 9/11 Websites
A fifth grader named 'Mark' reported to Alex Jones' Infowars TV show by phone that he had been sent home with a disciplinary report for visiting 9/11 Truth websites such as Infowars.com.

The 10 year-old Steiner Ranch Elementary student-- in Leander I.S.D. near Austin, Texas-- says that he was browsing such sites during his Computer Lab class period when a fellow student informed on him-- as though he were doing something wrong.

"He just ran up to my teacher in front of the whole class, saying 'he's searching terrorist stuff about 9/11'.

His teacher was "all shocked" and said, according to the student, "Mark, you shouldn't have been looking at conspiracy theory websites."

2. Next time it needs to be PORN
I love these overreacting morons in wingerland.

A real teacher would have taken the opportunity to ask him what he thought, to poke a few holes in the really silly stuff, and as a teaching moment for the entire class on the fact that a lot of stuff on the net may not be true.

The 10 year old rat bastard should have been told to mind his own business. In the meantime, he's probably overdue for a lesson in how middle school students feel about tattletales.

The people who belong on a shrink's couch are that witless teacher and the equally witless principal.

3. Next thing you know, the kid'll know Bush was briefed on bin Laden Aug 6, 2001.
But that was only after Condescenda was briefed on bin Laden and hijacked jetliners on July 10, 2001.

And then she shooed away the briefers to Johnny Ashcan and Donald Rumsferatu.
