Jason Levin, the "outed" founder of CrashTheTeaParty.com, is facing investigations, Jeff Mapes is reporting in The Oregonian.Jason Levin, the Portland man who caused a ruckus over his plans to "infiltrate" Tea Party protests in an aim to discredit them, teaches in a Beaverton middle school and now faces an investigation by the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission.His employer, the Beaverton School District, is also investigating. It looks like Levin will be dragged in for a show-and-tell or two.
Melody Hanson, the commission's director of professional practices, said Wednesday that the agency opened an investigation because "there was enough concern that there was some neglect of duty" on the part of Levin.
Levin teaches in the media lab at Conestoga Middle School, although he described himself in an interview earlier this week with Talking Points Memo as a technology consultant.
Levin started a web site called "Crash the Tea Party" that he said was aimed at encouraging people to pose as Tea Party protesters while acting in outlandish ways in hopes of discrediting the movement.
A year ago the liberals were laughing about our movement. Now they're getting scared.
