Gustavus Adolphus College diversity council sparks outrage with white supremacist flyers | The Sacramento Bee

“A notice to all white Americans: It is your civic duty to report any and all illegal aliens to U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. They are criminals. America is a white nation.”Flyers with the above message were only briefly posted Monday at Gustavus Adolphus College, a small, liberal arts college in Minnesota. According to media reports, people ripped them down within five minutes.
All the same, they’ve created a firestorm of controversy, leading some students to fear for their classmates and raising tensions among the student body of less than 2,500 people.
“I have friends of color who were very afraid,” one sophomore told KMSP.
“With those posters being put up yesterday in the manner that they were, to me just made my fears come to life and had me believing that if someone could be that vocal about their feelings about immigrants … who knows what else they would do,” another student told Southern Minnesota News.
But as it turns out, the people posting the flyers didn’t actually agree with their message. Instead, they were conducting a social experiment aimed at educating students on issues of bias and racism.
Gustavus’s Diversity Leadership Council, which represents nearly two dozen student groups on campus, admitted to posting the flyers Monday after images of them circulated on social media.

Because that's helpful. :roll:

This is FAR from the first racial hoax on a college campus, but it may possibly be the most stupid.

+1 "hate crime incident" for the Southern Poverty Law Center statistics.

Well, that was a pretty stupid thing to do.

One unanswered question is: Who put them up, and why?

I'm long past taking things at face value when it comes to politics.

This appears to be a Sacramento story concerning an alleged incident at a small college in Minnesota.

It says it in the article. Gustavus’s Diversity Leadership Council were the ones that put them up, in order to start a conversation about race.

In short, it was a pretty dumb idea.

It's not unanswered. They were put up by the "Diversity Leadership Council," as I noted in the OP, and per my post immediately above, under the supervision of the campus administration.
 
Leave it to a school with the name Adolph in it to post White Power stuff... :lol:
