DHS/Police Are Paying School Kids To Spy On Classmates

ACLU speaks on NSA surveillance




Apparently DHS’s “If You See Something Say Something” spying program isn’t enough. Now DHS/Police want to turn school kids into spies.
The “Project Safe Campus” (PSC) program is an anonymous CASH rewards program that pays students $100.00 to spy on fellow classmates!
According to a statement from Detroit public schools…
This program incentivizes schools and universities to spy on students. 
Schools and campuses will RECEIVE $3,000 for EVERY actionable tip DHS/Police receive:

This is an incredibly dangerous program, A school or university that has budgetary issues will now receive $3,000 for every student they report to DHS/ Police.
Watch ex- NBA player and PSC spokesman Willie Burton describe their plans to expand to colleges on “Street Beat” a local Detroit television show. (interview starts at approx. 6:30). Fyi, Burton went to high school in Detroit.
The PSC program is funded by “Crime Stoppers” which is run by DHS. A ‘Crime Stoppers and Homeland Security’ search returned 108,000 hits. Crime Stoppers is in EVERY police department in the country and will soon be in every school.
DHS is using a clueless ex-NBA player and former Michigan resident to start a new nationwide student spying program, all in the name of SAFETY.
The DHS student spying program goes by a few of different names:
1.) The Louisiana Safe Schools program pays students $2,500 to spy on their classmates.
2.) The Laredo, Texas’s Campus Crime Stoppers program which pays students $1,000 to spy on their classmates
3.) Michigan’s “Fast Fifty” pays students $50.00 to spy on their classmates.
Isn’t it interesting these spy programs, got their start in areas where unemployment is high and  incomes are low? Why would DHS/Police target low-income areas like LouisianaMichigan andLaredo,Texas?  Unemployed students eager to make some quick cash, now have an incentive to turn in their friends and family for a “fast fifty” or more.
Who in their right mind, thinks it’s a good idea to pay kids and schools to spy on students?  Where does it stop? The ‘Greatest Generation’ fought to stop Nazi Germany which turned their school kids into spies.  After WW2 Americans fought against the USSR which also turned their school kids into spies.
Have we learned nothing?
Who stands to profit from this brazen spy for-profit scheme? If you guessed DHS and private stakeholders (companies) give yourself a gold star:
The U.S. Dept. of Education (USDOE) and the Michigan DOE are also using a Restorative Practices program which claims to reduce crime, improve student behavior, restore relationships etc.
Students everywhere will soon be indoctrinated by our governments’ Office of Special Educationprogram called “Positive Behavior Intervention.”
