AP Report on Excessive NYPD Monitoring of Muslim Students

The Associated Press reports the NYPD's monitoring of Muslim students extended far beyond New York City schools and all over the Northeast -- far more widely than previously reported.

Officers from the NYPD's Cyber Intelligence unit visited the websites, blogs and forums of Muslim student associations as a "daily routine."

The universities included Yale; Columbia; the University of Pennsylvania; Syracuse; New York University; Clarkson University; the Newark and New Brunswick campuses of Rutgers; and the State University of New York campuses in Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook and Potsdam, N.Y.; Queens College, Baruch College, Brooklyn College and La Guardia Community College.

One NYPD report describing the daily monitoring is here.

    didn't visit MIT.  I bet the kids at MIT would pose a much bigger threat than the Yalies.  ;-)

    by this as a good liberal with libertarian tendencies.  But I just am not.  There are other things to be upset about right now, like women getting yanked back to the 1950s Etc ...

    Okay, go ahead everyone beat me up for being a bad bad liberal.

    The commenters appear to be making fun of the NYPD over this one, not getting "upset."
