Professor seeks to ban KKK from campus
[url]http://cnnfyi.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=CNN.com+-+Professor+seeks+to+ban+KKK+from+campus+-+May+21%2C+2004&expire=&urlID=10319852&fb=Y&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2004%2FEDUCATION%2F05%2F21%2Funiversity.klan.ap%2F&partnerID=2020[/url]
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) -- University of Louisville professor Ede Warner has a unique plan to keep the Ku Klux Klan off his campus: He wants the school to ban the group, then argue in court that it's a terrorist organization.
"Nobody has ever done that," Warner said.
Klan members started posting fliers on campus early in the spring semester to protest diversity programs sponsored by the school. That stirred debate among faculty and administrators that has taken place on campuses around the country: how far the university can go to keep some groups off campus and how to best deal with unpopular ideas in the academic setting.
What makes the Louisville situation so unusual is the presence of the KKK, said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama, which tracks the Klan and other hate groups.
"I cannot think of another situation when the Klan has appeared on campus," Potok said. "The Klan is quite small, even within the contemporary radical right."
Having the Klan banned as a terrorist organization based on its past would be legally difficult, especially given the Klan's inaction in recent years, and probably unnecessary, said Potok, whose organization has beat the Klan in court over other issues.
"You would run into issues of free speech," he said.
University officials banned two members of the KKK from campus this month, saying they violated university policy about where fliers can be posted.
That could give Warner his fight, if the Klan challenges the school over access to a public university and its students. Jim Kennedy, the self-described point man for the KKK in the Louisville area, said the Klan is preparing to contest the ban in court.
"They don't like us too much over there," Kennedy told The Associated Press. "They're trying to get around that freedom of speech any way they can."
Divergent views The Klan started appearing on campus in the fall after black activist and rapper Sister Souljah gave a speech that some students said was derogatory to whites and received $11,000 for the talk. Others said the main theme was black empowerment.
Afterward, Kennedy demanded that the Klan be given equal time and compensation or the school end the diversity program, which he considers racist.
The appearance by the KKK prompted protests on and off campus. A state representative has asked the FBI to investigate the Klan.
University spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said the school is cooperating with the FBI, which was tapped after Klan members accused the university of violating their civil rights. The FBI would not confirm a complaint being filed.
Dave King, one of the banned Klansmen, said he's not a terrorist and that the ban is an attempt by the school to shut down an unpopular point of view.
"They don't like what I'm saying, so they're trying to make it so I can't speak," King said.
Goldsmith said the Klan can still distribute fliers and appear on campus in one of two designated "free speech zones," but to speak at a campus function, it would need sponsorship from a campus organization.
Student sentiment Around the 21,400 student campus, with 77 percent white students, 12 percent black students and 11 percent other minorities, reaction to the Klan and Warner's proposal is mixed.
"We shouldn't keep them away," said Raul Zamora, a 24-year-old junior. "We should give other ideas besides theirs."
But, Maymon "Mona" Nageye, a 21-year-old sophomore, said the Klan shouldn't be allowed on campus.
"If we wanted to learn to hate, we could just learn from the streets and not come to school for it," Nageye said.
Some schools, such as the University of Texas in Austin, bar all non-campus groups from making presentations on campus unless they are invited and sponsored by a campus organization. At Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where former Klan grand wizard David Duke makes the occasional on-campus appearance, anyone may speak as long as they do not disrupt classes or university business, said LSU spokeswoman Kristine Calogne.
Raul Sanchez, director of human rights and diversity at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, countered a presentation by a minister calling slavery Biblically correct with one of his own featuring the history of slavery and its legacy.
"We were interested in offering a healthy dose of an alternative message," Sanchez said.
Kennedy said he just wants to present an alternative to the school-sponsored diversity program.
"Diversity means two sides, one on one side, one on the other discussing the problem," he said. "I just want equal time."

KKK or any pro-White association is next on list for "terrorist" appellation. Since that grievous designation clicks a lever inside the "Patriot Act", the system will jail White people without charges inside internment camps.

New "Tolerance" Law Forbids Suppression Of White Nationalist Groups
by I. M. Theenking Pahsitivlee
[B]Daily Bugle[/B] Staff Writer
INDEPENDENCE, May 21, 2050--For more than fifty years, White Nationalist organizations who wanted to speak on college and university campuses were forbidden from doing so. In many cases, these organizations were tried in the courts for being terrorist organizations by heads of academia as to not to disrupt or counter Diversity, America's state religion. Many White Nationalist organizations filed lawsuits against academic heads but they were automatically thrown out.
The Duke Party, in its first year of office, has now made it illegal to suppress White Nationalist groups at America's colleges and universities. The Academic Tolerance of Eurocentricism Act, also known as ATE, forbids heads of colleges and universities, as well as non-White campus groups, from preventing White Nationalist speakers from appearing at their facilities. It was signed into law yesterday afternoon in front of the White House.
In 2027, Whites became a minority in the United States, constituting 32 percent of the population. Mestizos, the largest racial group, make up 45 percent. Blacks, whose numbers have been decreasing since 2008, make up 7 percent. Mixed-race peoples are now at 10 percent; their numbers remaining stagnant for the third straight year. Asians, who make up 5 percent, are the second largest racial group in California, with 22 percent of the population (Mestizos are the largest racial group; at 63 percent). Whites make up less than 5 percent of the population; their exodus which began in the 1990s has continued to this day). Mixed-race peoples round out the remaining percentage, around 10 percent.
Despite a White minority, they are the most unified racial group in America today. In the aftermath of the Bush years, they formed their own communities and homelands and developed a Eurocentric identity. Not since the European immigrants came to America in the 1800s-mid 1900s have Americans embraced their European roots and identity. Their influence in politics was defined last year when the Duke Party won the election despite across-the-board protests, including the arrests of key members of the Diversity, Inclusionist, Neoconservative and Marxist parties for attempting to rig the voting machines to prevent a Duke Party victory (Whites were the majority of voters last year, while voter turnout amongst Mestizos, Blacks and Mixed-Race ranged from erratic to mediocre).
Many of America's colleges and universities spent a large amount of money last year creating anti-Duke Party advertisements in newspapers and running anti-Duke Party rallies, which were partly funded by the federal government. When the organization 100 White Men appeared at Martin Luther King University (Martin Luther King City) unannounced to speak at Freedom Square, more than 800 students were arrested; surprisingly Blacks were the only a small percentage of those who were arrested. Jews, Mixed-Race peoples, and Whites who were affiliated with the Neoconservative party made up the majority of those arrested.
"This is going to put the academic heads in their place," a spokesman for the Duke Party said yesterday at the signing. "When an academic head forbids a White Nationalist group from appearing at a college or university, he will be charged with violating the Tolerance Act. He will be expelled at once."
"Forever, it seems that Whites were forbidden from speaking their minds," said a young White male who is in support of the new law. "Now we are protected under law; that we can say what we feel is right and protect our people and identity without being suppressed. That is important."
More than 1500 people have been imprisoned in America for openly or privately defying the tenets of Diversity since 2006 when America made it a crime for anyone to make politically incorrect statements about race.

They will throw us in with black criminals in the hopes that we will be murdered, raped or preferably both. The zog is very nasty to it's dissidents. Compare how the English treated Irish patriots, they actually confined them together in facilities seperated from the criminal elements.
