The UMass Dartmouth student who claimed to have been visited by Homeland Security agents over his request for “The Little Red Book” by Mao Zedong has admitted to making up the entire story. —Aaron Nicodemus —Federal agents’ visit was a hoax (South Coast Today)
This does not come as a surprise to me.
Kudos to Nicodemus for posting a follow-up to the original story, in which he reported on flaws in the story. (See my first post on the Little Red Book hoax.)
