Supremacist Group Posts, Tweets About Flyers At WCC

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — Flyers from a white supremacist group were found this week on bulletin boards across the Westchester Community College Campus. The group tweeted about the flyers on Sunday.

The postings apparently were part of an organized effort taking place across the country. The group tweeted out photos to scores of colleges and universities.

The backlash was rapid.

Westchester Community College officials issued a statement:

As an educational institution promoting a safe and supportive environment, Westchester Community College has zero tolerance for hate groups and violence. The posters are in violation of college policy and have been removed. Our Security Department is investigating this issue and remaining diligent in monitoring the campus.
