Nebraska students say university is ignoring warnings about an active white nationalist on campus
Source: Think Progress
Students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln say the university has not taken action against an active white nationalist on campus, despite repeated warnings, local media reported Tuesday.
A spokesperson for the university said in a statement Tuesday that the school is aware of the student, Daniel J. Kleve, a junior at the school. Kleave calls himself the most active white nationalist in the Nebraska area, and the university said school officials are taking the matter very seriously, though they have not taken action against him.
Students told the Lincoln Journal-Star that the university has largely ignored their concerns about Kleve, who was the subject of a video that circulated at the school Monday. The video, made by Anti-Fascist Action Nebraska, reportedly documents Kleve gathering with other white supremacists and Neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia last year. One woman, Heather Heyer, was killed at the event by a man who drove his car into the group of counter-protesters with whom Heyer had gathered.

(33,408 posts)So far there doesn't appear to be anything the University or law can do. Kleve talks, but the answer to objectionable speech is more speech.
On Wednesday, some students have decided to hold a rally, hoping to shed light on Kleves racism and how he and others spread it through YouTube and social media.
That's the way to handle his kind until they actually break a law.
Unfortunately, Kleve isnt an alone as far as avowed white supremacists on college campuses go. According to a new ADL study released last week, white supremacist groups are increasingly targeting college campuses in the wake of President Trumps election. The ADL tracked a three-fold increase in propaganda efforts by white supremacist groups on campuses since January 2016.

(5,801 posts)kook brothers, through back channels? Other crackpot billionaires? Are the loony mercers chipping in to support their pet cause of racism? Someone's paying to go after college students. And we all know the radical billionaires who have taken over the puke party are avowed haters of enlightenment-style academia.
So, are they uniting their hatred of "liberal" professors with their love of divisive extremists by funding these groups that go on campuses?
