TRUMP’S AMERICA: White Supremacist Group Posts Recruitment Signs At Multiple DC-Area Universities

The Washington Post reports:



Signs promoting America as “a white nation” were reported Sunday 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.

At George Washington, signs depicted white people with slogans about uniting. A notice “to all white Americans” urges them to report undocumented people to federal authorities. “THEY ARE CRIMINALS. AMERICA IS A WHITE NATION,” the sign reads. Corey Garlick, a law student, said he and his friends had seen the signs all over campus.

Vanguard America, a group whose name appears on the signs, responded to a request for comment with an email: “We hope to raise awareness amongst college students regarding the problems facing the world today, and to advocate for a National Socialist solution to these problems.” They targeted other schools in the area at the same time, the spokesman wrote. Signs were also found at the University of Maryland on Monday.
