Right-Wing College Group Riles Students on Campuses Nationwide

A student group that bills itself as "America's right wing youth movement" focused on countering radical multiculturism, socialism and mass immigration is causing a stir on a growing number of college campuses across the country.

The conservative political group Youth for Western Civilization is currently organized on at least seven university campuses. According to its Web site, the group hopes to inspire Western youth on the "basis of pride in their American and Western heritage," counter and ultimately defeat "leftism on campus" and create a social movement in which a right-wing subculture is an alternative to what it calls a "poisonous and bigoted" campus climate.

"A great part of college is definitely meeting people of different backgrounds, but a multicultural ideology teaches that we should appreciate things just because they're different from our culture with no regards to the quality of the culture and that all cultures are inherently equal," said Trevor Williams, president of YWC's Vanderbilt chapter. "I absolutely disagree."

But of course, the left, being sooo tolerant wil have no problem with this and would never play the race card...right?

But students who lean left are not welcoming their new neighbor. Those opposed to YWC say its message teeters on hate speech and has no place at institutions of higher learning.

"'Western' is a veiled term that means 'white,'" University of North Carolina graduate student Tyler Oakley wrote in an e-mail to FOXNews.com. "I believe that our democracy is strong enough to allow extreme forms of speech, but YWC's message is essentially a negative one, an assault on not being white or non-Western, and is therefore hateful, if not blatant hate speech."

 

Jones said he's also disturbed by the group's call to restore a "curriculum that focuses on Western history, not political correctness," according to its Web site.

"They want to change the curriculum to emphasize 'classical learning' and get rid of 'trendy multiculturalism,'" Jones continued. "In practice this means firing professors with the wrong views and hiring those with the 'right' views.

They've been doing that for many decades, kid.

So, basically the leftist groups are complaining that this new right leaning group wants to do what they (the left) have been doing all along?

Amazing. Liberal groups present any message they want such as, but not limited to:

Rethugs (fundies, Christians, conservatives, etc.) need to be wiped out.
Rethugs (fundies, Christians, conservatives, etc.) are evil.
I hate rethugs (fundies, Christians, conservatives, etc.)

and the list goes on and on and on. Yet none of that is considered hate speech. As far as they're concerned it doesn't even teeter on being hate speech.

Let someone promote pride in American and Western heritage, however, and it teeters on hate speech.

Generally, in a situation like that I'd just say "kiss my ass", but considering the number of fruitloops on the left they'd probably view that as a come-on and invitation.

Officials at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which identifies and tracks hate groups in the U.S., told FOXNews.com that the YWC is not currently on its list, but some of the group's views are "suspect," including the notion that Western civilization is somehow superior.

It IS superior, DUmba$$.  Don't think so?  Take your little organization to Iran and see how that works out for ya.

Idiot.

[Ptarmigan]

Western Civilization is superior. I mean it has lasted a long time. It ROCKS! 

That's successful for ya! I am glad that a right-wing group is coming to college. Tired of all that PC garbage.

I went and trolled around that...............ahhh............site of shit. Talk about a bastion of Commie crap.

Yep.  A hate-group can be anything from a group of skinheads that actually attack other people...to a group that warns parents about the brainwashing done in public schools.  To look at that site, you'd think it was more hateful to protect your children from inappropriate sexual knowledge than to beat up a minority person, or burn a cross. 

Strangely enough, if you read through the list of "hate crimes," there are an awful lot that concern churches being vandalized.  You don't suppose the hate speech contained on the Southern Poverty Law Center site might be causing impressionable youth to hate Christians, do you?
