This reminds me of the time that my school sent the police round my house because they thought I was going to, and I quote: "Shoot everyone at my school and then kill my parents.". This wasn't due to me being profiled as far as I know, more due to a running joke that some malicious people decided to tell seriously to a substitute science teacher.
Annoyingly the police apparently didn't believe me when I told them that I wasn't going to shoot everyone (and after they had searched my room for guns), nor did they believe me when I was taken out of a geography lesson some time later to talk about it. I was later told that I came across as "cold". At this point my school was trying to get me a psychological assessment, which I didn't really want to get involved with, so I had to write a letter explaining everything to both the school and the police in the hope that they would see sense for once. I eventually sorted the whole thing out when, some months later, I told the local anti-terrorist/extremist type officer they had at the police that what I had actually said at the start of all this was that I was going to blow up the world, not shoot everyone, and that other people had added and changed details until it matched what caused the issue, and I had merely agreed with the new iterations in my usual flippant way.
That was a strange few months...
Back on topic, it does seem weird, but I suppose that they have got to do something to identify possible threats to the school. The sort of profiling they're using seems pretty limited, presumptuous and unreliable though. That said, anything that gets staff to act nicer to you has to be something of a good thing, right?
