I’m hesitant to post this, because I’m sure it will draw the attention of Killgore Trout, Junior Field Representative of the Southern Poverty Law Center. But it’s too interesting to ignore.

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.

“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.”

Of course, this is automatically racist:

“‘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.”

Don’t worry, the SPLC is on the case:

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.

Actually, I was on the YWC’s side until I got to this part:

Jesse Jones, a freshman at Vanderbilt, where YWC hosted former U.S. Treasurer Bay Buchanan last month, acknowledged the group’s right to organize and share its views.

Sister of — you guessed it — Pat Buchanan. These guys have got to get their heads out of their butts before they manage to destroy conservatism for the next generation, too.
