In January, the FBI's Office of Partner Engagement – a liaison between the FBI, other feds, and local and school law enforcement – released an unclassified paper detailing a plan to keep an eye on any latent anti-American activity in high school youths.

As Alternet and a few other outlets have noted, the paper and the matching Countering Violent Extremism website – including a typical to government clueless one for teens, which involves inane "learning" games – carefully makes sure not to appear to be targeting merely Muslim young people, thereby avoiding accusations of racial, religious, or ethnic profiling. The overall picture then ends up being coy, yet terrifyingly broad in terms of what might be a sign of dangerous youth activity or thought.
