If he used district computers to post the message, hope he gets fired.

I hope he kept his political views out the classroom but with this guy's obsession with this group, I rather doubt it.

....“Some other thoughts are to ask people at the rally to sign a petition renouncing socialism. See just how much info you can get from these folks (name address, DOB, Social Security #). The more data we can mine from the Tea Partiers, the more mayhem we can cause with it!!!!” he wrote.

He really has a personal vendetta against law abiding protesters. Is this what being a "Progressive" is all about? Damaging someone personally?

The guy is probably stupid enough to think you need a hard hat to mine data. As someone who mines data professionally with state of the art machine learning techniques, he doesn't have a clue on how it works. You'd need sampling data from the entire country and a much higher dimensionality of data than what he's suggesting. Also, SSN contains practically zero entropy on making that determination.

Jason Lewin, from offense, to defense, in 24 short hours..

The irony of him being investigated on the very day protests that he objected to, isnt lost..
