WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY CANCELS CLASSES OVER HATE SPEECH

SEATTLE (AP) -- Western Washington University canceled classes on Tuesday because of threats over the weekend against minorities posted on YikYak, an anonymous social media platform populated by college students.

The university sent out an alert and an email to students just after 6 a.m. from President Bruce Shepard. It is unknown if the people who posted the threats are students at the state university in Bellingham, but the posts were made from a phone located within 10 miles of campus, Shepard said.

"I need to be very clear here: we are not talking the merely insulting, rude, offensive commentary that trolls and various other lowlifes seem free to spew, willy nilly, although there has been plenty of that, too. No, this was hate speech," Shepard wrote in an email posted on the university website.

The posts mentioned almost every ethnic group, including blacks, Muslims, Jews and American Indians, and talked about an effort on campus to debate changing the university's mascot, a Viking. The threats came days after some student leaders suggested that the mascot is racist.

The source of the hate speech came from Tysen Campbell. He is a student from another small town in the state of Washington. The college was shut down as result of his racial comment.

Seeing how this is directly in my neck of the woods, my guess is that if these claims are accurate that Whidbey Island was a conclave for rabble rousers. Recently, passed through and asked about said anarchists. Maybe these reports are imported on guise of students. Listening to some of these students are not so much enlightened about diversity, it is a main stream educational institute.
