NEW YORK (AP) — A Jewish civil rights group is reporting a sharp increase in propaganda campaigns by white supremacist groups on U.S. college campuses.
The Anti-Defamation League said Thursday that it documented 292 cases of white supremacist fliers and other racist, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic material found on campuses from last September through May. That's a 77 percent increase over the previous academic year, when the group recorded 165 such incidents.
The ADL has counted a total of 478 cases since Sept. 1, 2016, on 287 campuses in 47 states and the District of Columbia. It says one group, Identity Evropa, was responsible for nearly half of those incidents. Colleges in Texas and California collectively were targeted in more than a quarter of the cases.

School administrators need to be made aware of what is going on! They will do nothing if we don't keep hammering them about what they are up to. They cannot get away with this! 
Yeah I know it gets into the whole free speech debate, but when you start throwing babies in cages and letting people in Puerto Rico die, and taking away our civil rights and workplace rights, I'm not going to play nice anymore. I'm fighting back. Fuck racism, Nazism, and white supremacy.
White supremacist groups seek to reach not only the mainstream but also younger audiences

White supremacist groups are increasingly targeting college campuses to distribute propaganda, according to a new report by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
In the past academic year, 292 incidents were reported of stickers, banners, and other physical materials that featured racist and anti-Semitic messages that targeted non-whites, Muslims and LGBTQ people being placed on college campuses across the United States. This was a 77 per cent increase from the previous academic year, which had 165 cases reported.
This tactic is not entirely new. White supremacists have increasingly targeted US college campuses since January 2016 the ADL says, but saw a spike following the election of Donald Trump to the US presidency. Since then, according to the ADL, propaganda efforts have steadily increased with 478 incidents reported since September 1, 2016 on 278 college campuses in 47 states and the District of Columbia.
