Youth for Western Civilization brings Tom Tancredo to UNC
Tancredo, a fringe presidential candidate in 2008, boycotted a Spanish-language Republican debate during the campaign, saying the event "pandered" to Spanish speakers and encouraged the "balkanization" of the U.S.
His speech on Tuesday--to be held at 6:30 p.m. in Room 103 of Bingham Hall--is hosted by the UNC-Chapel Hill chapter of Youth for Western Civilization, a self-styled "right-wing youth movement" founded in 2008 to "create a subculture that will promote the survival of Western Civilization and pride in Western heritage" on college campuses
Read the Today's News story, and an interview with Youth for Western Civilization's UNC chapter president Riley Matheson, at indyweek.com.
Update: Also see Sam Wardle's coverage of the Tancredo speech, which was cut short by protesters.
