Is the United States government kidding me? I feel that it is a joke that the US government is spying on colleges. There is no reason for colleges to have to give out students directories, medical history or complications, and family financials to the government. Also why does it matter to the US what major a student is studying.This is an absolute outrage. The libraries have to give the FBI records of what the individual ask taken out or what they looked up online. So I am guessing if a student is doing research or how easy it was to make a bomb for terrorist, that student becomes a threat to the nation? No, he is just simply doing work for class, but this work may lead for him to geting arrested, especially if he is of Arab or Muslim decent.
It is also an outrage that the Colleges may restrict protest/rallies. They also can restrict what we learn or write about. The government views these aspects as threatening to our nations safety. So lets take away some of our bill of right to protect ourselves, I don't think so. Immigrants even have it worse, if they are Arab or Muslim they are likely to get arrested once they enter the nation. Isn't the nation supposed to be the land of the free.
A student may be in class not knowing that a FBI or CIA operative is in their room destroying personal things inorder to find some evidence of terroism. Are you serious? It is the students property and the government has no right. I believe the public should speak up, but one person can not start this, a group of people have to join together, and hopefully get the whole student body across the nation, to stand up to this nonsense.

Thankkk youuuu I was starting to worry not enough people cared about this! The way I see it, the point is not that you and I probably have nothing to hide. The point is that our liberties are being stomped on. Also, the scary thing is that not enough people (especially students) know the details of the patriot act, which is probably why more protests against it, like you suggest, haven't occurred yet. I'm sure if more people knew, more people would be trying to do something about it.
