2nd White Supremacist Poster Found at Rutgers

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ - A second poster from the same white supremacist group has popped up on Rutgers University's main campus in New Brunswick, Patch has learned.

This poster was found Wednesday morning outside the school's Center for Latino Arts and Culture. It said something to the effect of "we deserve the right to exist," and again was posted by American Vanguard, a white nationalist group.

On Monday night, students found an anti-Muslim poster taped to the Paul Robeson Cultural Center, a building frequently used by Muslim students for daily prayers and cultural events. The poster featured the World Trade Center Twin Towers with the words "Imagine a Muslim-Free America." It was posted by American Vanguard.

Both flyers have prompted Rutgers to increase police patrols near the cultural centers.

"Several members of the Rutgers University-New Brunswick community reported this week that they were offended and threatened by flyers from American Vanguard that were posted at the Paul Robeson Cultural Center, which serves as a prayer space on campus for our Muslim students, and at the Center for Latino Arts and Culture," said Rutgers spokesman Zach Hosseini. "The flyers were discovered on Monday and this morning, respectively. Following our standard protocol, the Rutgers University Police Department responded and both flyers were removed. Details of the incidents were immediately referred to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office for review."

"The contents of the flyers, which were also posted elsewhere nationwide, violate the values and ideals for which Rutgers stands," he added. "We strongly condemn this kind of speech and are appalled that our community has been targeted in this way."
