Rally held at West Conn in response to racist flyers, vandalism

100 West Conn students, faculty members and staff gathered in front of the Midtown Student Center yesterday to stand in solidarity against hate and bias. In addition to flyers that some interpreted as racist and sexist West Conn officials say there was also  a racial slur painted on university property and an alt-right flag posted on campus last week. The flyers said “It’s OK to be white” and “Islam is right about women.” The flag design is based roughly on a Nazi battle flag.  Student leaders called the rally yesterday to express concerns, and allowed open mic time for anyone who wanted to ask a question or make a statement.  West Conn President John Clark acknowledged the diverse crowd and vowed to make the university a safe and bias-free second home for students.
