White-supremacist signs posted at George Washington University

Source: Washington Post

March 13 at 9:10 PM

Signs promoting America as “a white nation” were posted on the campus of George Washington University, shocking and upsetting some students.

The signs mirrored those found on many other campuses in recent weeks. Groups that the Anti-Defamation League, which seeks to document and prevent bigotry, identifies as white supremacist have been pushing to spread their message on campuses and recruit college students, according to a recent analysis by the ADL. The report said the groups have been emboldened by current politics, and called it an unprecedented outreach to American college students. The ADL says more than 100 such incidents have happened this academic year, with more than half of them since January.

Corey Garelick, a law student, said he and his friends had seen the signs all over campus. “I cannot believe this is taking place today in the U.S., let alone on a college campus in a liberal city like D.C.,” he said. Garelick said other students are outraged, and many, including a friend who is an immigrant and a Muslim, are scared.

Leaders of Vanguard America, a group whose name appears on the signs, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. On its website, the group writes, “America is, by right and history, a White nation. It deserves to stay that way, and it deserves a political system that realizes and preserves the essence of its unique people in all forms.”
