Talking Politics with Muslims “Dangerous and Irresponsible”

Posted by Eric at 7:52 pm. Filed under: Randomly Interesting

At least according to the AP, that’s what one teacher thinks.

As a junior this year at a Pine Crest School, a prep academy of about 700 students in Fort Lauderdale, Hassan studied writers like John McPhee in the book “The New Journalism,” an introduction to immersion journalism _ a writer who lives the life of his subject in order to better understand it.

Diving headfirst into an assignment, Hassan, whose parents were born in Iraq but have lived in the United States for about 35 years, hung out at a local mosque. The teen, who says he has no religious affiliation, added that he even spent an entire night until 6 a.m. talking politics with a group of Muslim men, a level of “immersion” his teacher characterized as dangerous and irresponsible.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin says “get this kid a blog!”
