White Student Union Facebook Pages Spread Nationwide
Source: USA Today
An anonymous Facebook page created early in the week at the University of Illinois may have been among the first White Student Union pages to pop up, but its hardly been the last.
Appearing at Illinois after black students held a rally Wednesday, the page reportedly characterized the Black Lives Matter movement as an act of terrorism and called for themonitoring of African-American students who attended the protest, leaving many feeling unsafe at the Urbana-Champaign campus.
Now, as unconfirmed reports including an anonymous report from Medium blame the postings on either a white supremacist group or 4Chan users, more than 30 white student union Facebook pages, claiming to represent real college organizations, have been posted. Some schools are quickly distancing themselves and petitioning Facebook to take them down.
Schools affected include George Washington University, Pennsylvania State University, Stanford University, Swarthmore College, the University of Mississippi, Ohio State University, New York University and the University of Texas Austin.

(1,134 posts)cry about hypocrisy. If they are just ignored then they will fade away after they realize their attempts didn't work. That's really the only real way to defeat them. Getting them shutdown would be viewed as a victory to them.
