The unclassified report “Preventing Violent Extremism in Schools” released in January by the FBI’s Office of Partner Engagement describes high school students as the “ideal targets for violent extremists” and public school educators as essential in “facilitat[ing] intervention activities.” Among the “extremist ideologies” the FBI wants high school educators to be watching out for are “anti-government” sentiments and “constitutionalism.” In other words, you better watch yourself if you’re a libertarian or conservative.
In what InfoWars warns is a dangerous conflation of the concept of “sovereign citizens” and constitutionalists, federal authorities cite some widely-held conservative and libertarian sentiments as threatening and make clear that anti-government extremism is their number one priority, even over Islamic jihadism:
