#YallQaeda





Armed anti-government protesters are dug in for a long stay on the federal land they seized in Oregon this January. The group pledges to remain encamped in a federal building on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge for as long as it takes for the government to give the land "back to the people."

Read the story and then answer these questions on the Google Class:

1) Who are these protesters also known as "#YallQaeda' and what do they want?

2) What 'Constitutional Rights' do they claim to be defending?

3) Are these protesters 'Heroes' or 'Terrorists?' Whats the difference?

4) How would John Adams have treated the Protesters under the 'Alien & Sedition' Acts? Why?

5) How do you think the US Government should treat them now? Explain.
