Late last week, on the campus of Arizona State University in Tempe, a
hooded individual distributed fliers and hung posters declaring a war
on immigration. Using the most recent covers of Charlie Hebdo as a
backdrop, the flier was intended to be a call to action and an ominous
warning: “America is ours, and we are tomorrow.”
The group behind the campaign, the National Youth Front, was no secret. It’s the newly formed youth wing of the white nationalist American Freedom Party, and it is only the latest in a growing number of racist organizations targeting youth on college campuses.
In recent years, groups like Youth for Western Civilization, formed by Kevin DeAnna, and the Traditionalist Youth Network, which emerged from a chapter of YWC founded on Towson University’s campus by Matthew Heimbach, have dominated the campus extremism landscape.
