White nationalist Richard Spencer’s ex-classmates decry him — by raising money for refugees

The St. Mark’s School of Texas takes pride in its enviable facilities, low student-teacher ratio and number of successful alumni, including actor Tommy Lee Jones, former presidential candidate H. Ross Perot and NFL wide receiver Ty Montgomery. ... But it wants nothing to do with one of its graduates, who lately has been attracting attention to the North Dallas private school for the wrong reasons.
Last week, members of the St. Mark’s class of 1997 started an online fundraiser with a single mission: to repudiate Richard Spencer, a prominent leader of the white nationalist movement who coined the term “alt-right,” a small, far-right movement that seeks a whites-only state.
....
It is unclear who exactly started the fundraiser to disavow Spencer: A disclaimer on the “ST. MARK’S UNITED AGAINST RICHARD B. SPENCER” Crowdrise page says “this campaign is led by concerned alumni from the Class of 1997. It is not sponsored, managed, or initiated by St. Mark’s School of Texas.” ... But the campaign’s message minced no words. ... “We are of different political parties and views, but unite in recognizing that these values are under attack by our white supremacist classmate Richard B. Spencer ’97,” the fundraiser description reads. “Spencer’s views are un-American and a threat to civil society. We reject them and urge everyone to join us in condemning him and his agenda.”
According to the Crowdrise page, proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the International Rescue Committee, a refugee resettlement nonprofit with an office in Dallas. The organization’s efforts to welcome and integrate refugees “whose lives have been wrecked by unimaginable tragedies” are in direct conflict with Spencer’s vision for an all-white America, the fundraising campaign noted.

A matter of millimeters, maybe. 
Both need to be excised like a cancer.
