Towson YWC End of Semester After Action Report

The Youth for Western Civilization chapter at Towson University, made more than a few waves during our first semester. From the day of our chapter’s inception, the spectrum of the radical left-wing elements at Towson University (the coalition of the pro illegal immigration groups, terrorist front organizations like the Muslim Student Association, ferociously angry gay groups of “tolerance” like the Queer Student Union, and the disease ridden degenerates also known as Occupy Towson) all came together to attempt to intimidate and suppress our budding organization.

However despite their aggressive attacks, within the first week of classes over a dozen YWC members were sporting our distinctive Hammer of Charles Martel insignias on stickers, t-shirts, and patches. The campus Left took offense to the sight of an organized resistance to their progressive agenda and began a series of attempts to silence YWC members before our SGA affiliation hearing which was to occur the following week. By having SGA affiliation would be allowed the dues and tuition paying students who comprised YWC to meet on campus and hold events. This apparently was unacceptable to members of the campus community who prided themselves on “tolerance” and “acceptance”. Students decided that threatening a freshmen girl with rape for wearing a YWC shirt and other members with violence was the “accepting” way to show displeasure at our organization. Since the declaration of these threats, I, the chapter president and my vice-president, John Donovan, approached the administrators to resolve these series of threats and bullying tactics of the campus Marxists.

Members of YWC who attended the Student Involvement Fair to recruit members and tell the campus about our new group, were met with harassment by a multitude of left-wing Stalinists, whose sole desire was to threaten and intimidate the opposition into non-existence. This was our first interaction with official leadership of the rabid multicultural organization on campus known as the Center for Student Diversity. Towson prides itself on the fact it is a diverse campus; albeit only when it comes to sexual orientation, creed, and skin color. Dissenters need not apply.

One of the administrators in charge of the Center for Student Diversity Mr. SantiagoSolis is in charge of  leading the “Asian Pacific Islander and Hispanic/Latino Student Development Program, African American Student Development in the African American Cultural Center, the LGBT Student Development Program, the Student Success Programs (SAGE & CEEP) and implementing policies and procedures to ensure that all students succeed at Towson.” Of course he also teaches the indispensable class “Teaching and Learning in a Diverse Society.” His devotion to diversity explains how when YWC members brought to him descriptions of those who had threatened them, contact information for members, and thorough accounts of the events he promised to take all of the information and forward it with the utmost haste to campus police. In a move that bears the stench of a conspiracy that besmirches the name of Towson University, remarkably the information never made it to the authorities.

Towson YWC made its debut on the activist scene during the midst of these cowardly assaults. Alisa Rogers, John Donovan, myself, and several other activists helped the Towson College Republicans set up nearly 3,000 American flags to honor the fallen on 9/11. Somehow this show of patriotism further enraged the campus Left to organize an official protest of YWC at the SGA affiliation hearing two days later.

You can read about the SGA affiliation hearing in articles written by myselfand JohnDonovanin which nearly two hundred supporters and protesters gathered to start a battle that would rage through the campus throughout the semester. “Y.ou W.ill C.ease” and other opposition groups formed to try and drive Youth for Western Civilization off campus while still claiming to support diversity of opinion.

Undeterred by the frequent appearance of slurs, vandalism against property, and intimidation tactics used by the Left, Towson YWC held our first official event only days after the affiliation hearing. While working with the David Horowitz Freedom Center, Towson YWC erected the Palestinian Wall of Truth in Freedom Square. In the middle of campus YWC activists were able to distribute pamphlets detailing the truth about Israel and the radical jihadist agenda to destroy the Jewish people. Proudly displaying Israeli flags and holding signs in solidarity with the nation of Israel, Towson YWC stood against members of the Muslim Student Association who while passing by the display made derogatory remarks about not only Israel but the Jewish people. Close to a dozen Jewish students stopped by the display to thank various YWC members for taking a stand for Israel and shared stories of time they had spent in the country.

Anthony Troup (the founder of Y.ou W.ill C.ease, head of Democracy Matters at Towson, and one of the lead agitators against Youth for Western Civilization) even admitted following the event to the campus newspaper that YWC members are “not anti-Semitic or white supremacist”. Everything went well until staff of the University approached members who were using a flip cam to record the event and told us that we would need to not only stop filming, but delete all of our video or face our event being closed down. To allow the event to continue and avoid confrontation, our members complied with this unconstitutional request. In the center of Freedom Square (the supposed “free speech zone” of the public university) once again the rights of Towson YWC were trampled on by administrators.

Two weeks following the Palestinian Wall of Truth the Towson chapter hosted Ms. BayBuchananand YWC national President Kevin DeAnna to speak on a series of issues. This event was a huge success both in turnout and the boost to the spirits of our members. Despite the increased verbal attacks on YWC we held two successful events within our first month of being SGA affiliated. Most student groups on campus had yet to hold their first event, let alone two.

On a weekly basis following our meetings, Towson YWC would head to campus and distribute literature on a variety of issues and chalk political messages throughout campus. A variety of hot button issues were touched upon with our prominent chalkings throughout campus from illegal immigration “Secure the Border”, to pro Christian messages “We are a Christian nation”, and traditional marriage slogans “Marriage = 1 man + 1 woman”. Our fliers that were posted in accordance with SGA rules were often torn down within hours and our chalk messages defaced. The “We are a Christian nation” chalk message in which a large cross was drawn underneath was defaced overnight. “Christian” and the cross were defaced leaving the word “diverse” and the Islamic star and crescent in their place. The tension between the Muslim Brotherhood front organization the Muslim Student Association and YWC would only increase as the radical Muslims realized that YWC was illuminating some ugly truths about the so called “religion of peace.”

Several of the members of Towson YWC attended the MSA’s first event to gauge the opposition. The usual sanitized politically correct version of Islam was trotted before the crowd and the event which was advertised as having a question and answer period turned out differently than was expected. Instead of an open dialogue where students could ask questions to the panel, students had to write questions on pieces of paper to be evaluated by staff members before they could be asked. Needless to say the questions about MSA National, the Muslim Brotherhood, historical examples of Islamic brutality, and radical Islamic extremists were not asked to the panel of speakers. This prompted YWC to decide to picket outside of the upcoming MSA event to bring awareness of stealth jihad and the danger it plays in America.

The protest of the MSA event was held outside the university union. Half a dozen university police were dispatched to protect our demonstration due to the continued fear that Leftists or radical Muslims may attempt to assault members of Youth for Western Civilization. Students unaffiliated with YWC, YWC members, Towson College Republicans, and members of the public all came to hold signs, display Western nations’ flags, pass out literature, and bring awareness to the true nature of the Muslim Student Association. A fact sheet that included both historical evidence and quotes from the Koran and the Hadith supported our message and received a rousing amount of support from interested students. Being able to see clearly the quotes in front of them left many students enlightened to our message. YWC stood in support of our brothers in arms fighting against the Islamization of the Western world by displaying English, German, Swedish, and Dutch flags with signs proudly proclaiming messages such as “I stand with the English Defense League”. Our taking on so called “politically incorrect” subjects continued to garner support from the student body and drive the opposition into fits. Several Muslim students had to be escorted by the police away from our event after they began to shout at several of our members. Luckily the event was able to proceed and continue the streak of effective activism events done by our chapter.

Fun events held just for our chapter helped boost morale and continue building an effective chapter. Viewings of timeless classic Red Dawn and the epic story 300, going out to dinner, and attending worship services together helped solidify the bonds between our members and encourage us to continue doing frequent activist events on campus. For Halloween we posted nearly a hundred and fifty YWC fliers titled “We’re a Culture, Not a Costume” while interviewing students thoughts on the question of when costumes crossed the line into being inappropriate. Overwhelmingly and unsurprisingly the students said it was acceptable to dress up like a sexy nun, mock European heritage, and denigrate Ancient Greece while dressing up like a rapper or an Islamic terrorist is offensive. This was able to demonstrate the double standard of Western peoples such as Catholics and the Greeks to be acceptable targets for ridicule versus so called “protected” groups. Our activism once again showed the anti Western bias of the university system and the indoctrination of our youth to hate their own people and heritage.

Several Towson YWC members joined hundreds of fellow college aged conservative activists in a flurry of events outside of school during November. The MDCAN conference, the Americans for Prosperity American Dream Summit, and meetings with conservative Tea Party groups helped build networks between Towson YWC and the local conservative movements. This inspired our chapter to finish off the semester with two final events, one of which may go down in Towson history in infamy.

Straight Pride day from its inception caused waves in the very vocal and radical elements of the LGBTQA students on campus. In August myarticle published on the Homosexual Agenda to undermine American families and values quickly went viral with the Leftists at Towson University. Before I had even stepped foot on Towson as a student my strong personal convictions in regards to the sanctity of marriage were put under a microscope. When YWC became SGA affiliated we told the campus of the various events we planned to hold. The event that got the most heat however was our Straight Pride Day. A small list of the events and programs that Towson hosts to promote the homosexual lifestyle includes gaypridemonth, dragshows, agaymentorprogram, transgenderawarenessdays, frequentprohomosexualspeakers, LGBTQAroomswithspecialaccommodations, internshipsonlyforgaystudents, and the SafeSpaceprogram for gay students. YWC thought it was a shame that in our diverse campus environment, the viewpoint of Straight Pride and heterosexual marriage was not represented. Thus we took it upon ourselves to increase diversity and hold a Straight Pride Day so all heterosexual students (and our allies) could bask in the pride of knowing we are proud of who we are and of our ability to make sure the human race continues. The plan was to sell and give away Straight Pride t shirts, write pro heterosexual chalk messaging (just as the gay students do for their lifestyle), and have a speaker come to talk with YWC members about the importance of traditional marriage. This simple plan however went awry when the bigots of Towson decided that it was in the best interests of diversity to attempt to destroy Straight Pride Day. As soon as the event went on Facebook so called progressive students decided that appropriate dialogue would be to mock the Crucifixion of Jesus, threaten those who held dissenting viewpoints, talk about a so called utopia when Christianity would be wiped off the planet, and how every member of YWC needed to be silenced. Pro traditional marriage slogans chalked in accordance with university policy were defaced or outright destroyed the night before Straight Pride Day.

YWC members who sold Straight Pride t shirts in front of the University Union were verbally harassed, picketed, and in one instance even spit on in full view of the campus community. Sadly this treatment was not new for the various students who fill the ranks of the Towson Youth for Western Civilization chapter. Not only was the t shirt sale still successful as a fundraiser for our chapter, dozens of students stopped by the YWC table to give words of encouragement and support. This further proved the truth behind the belief that we truly speak for the majority of campus students. The radical fringe organizations may make the most noise in trying to silence the common sense Christian viewpoints, but they are far from the majority. Due to YWC however, the weapon of choice for the homosexual advocacy groups the hecklers veto is no longer effective. Following the end of the allotted time for the t shirts sale, documented threats were taken to the University Police who filed police reports to investigate the latest batch of criminal activity done by the student body to attempt to silence YWC.

Later in the evening a local conservative Christian activist was supposed to describe to fellow conservative Christians the importance of traditional values. Campus police assured YWC that not only would multiple officers be on site, but K-9 units would be available if things got out of hand at the evenings event.

As is common with Baltimore traffic, movement on roads surrounding Towson were at a standstill that evening due to a series of severe accidents. Our original speaker called an hour before the event to tell me that he likely would miss at least half of the evening due to the horrible congestion in Baltimore city. At the last minute local award winning journalist Mr. Bill Thomas agreed to fill in for our previous speaker and talk on a variety of issues relating to the upcoming gay marriage bill being pushed by Governor Martin O’Malley and various Maryland political issues. A 200 person sit in by the Queer Student Union and Genderblur members prevented supporters and YWC members from entering the main entrance of the University Union.

Towson YWC Vice President John Donovan and Chaplain Kyle Benoit were carrying stereo equipment through a back entrance of the union when in the stairwell they came upon anti YWC thugs making plans to set an ambush. Thankfully after catching the conspirators in the middle of making plans, the leftists stood dumbfounded and soon fled. When I entered the room with Mr. Thomas I did not see a peaceful crowd of traditional marriage supporters. Instead I saw an unruly mob of homosexual advocates holding signs that declared “You are a bigot” and a variety of pro homosexual marriage slogans. An opening prayer by Chaplain Benoit resulted in only YWC members and supporters bowing their heads according to a journalist who was present. The opposition decided that during a moment of solemn prayer that scoffing and disruption was the proper etiquette. A discussion by Chaplain Benoit in regards to the Biblical meaning of love resulted in unrest within the crowd. To their dismay this was not the Westboro Baptist Church event they had hoped to disrupt. When Mr. Thomas took to the microphone and began discussing Maryland politics this was the last straw for the various provocateurs in the audience. Within minutes they began openly heckling, insulting, and disrupting the event. Administrators and police stood looking on while the trouble makers hijacked the event and spewed hate and disrespect at not only YWC but our speaker. In a heated exchange Mr. Thomas was able to shut down the illogical assertions of several protesters but in the end myself and the YWC leadership was forced to end the speech. I openly confronted the so called “tolerant” crowd with the fact they proudly hid criminals and thugs who threatened and intimidated their fellow students over the course of several months. The response was jeers and holding up of anti traditional marriage signs. Finally a sense of order was restored after administrators stepped in to silence the crowd. What followed was a semi orderly question and answer session between YWC leadership and the more reasonable members of the crowd. The protesters deciding they had scored a victory through their savage and uncivilized behavior and left to rejoin the sit in mob on the floor below. A true dialogue and exchange of ideas was able to flow between the remaining supporters of traditional marriage and those pushing for legalization of homosexual marriage. At the end of the night a large circle of people on both sides of the issue sat down together and began building bridges with discussion.

The night ended with the two rational factions shaking hands and even some group hugs. This was a stark contrast from the foaming radicals who decided to pervert the event only an hour before. The school paper heavily reportedon the YWC event making it one of the leading stories of the next issue. Various members of YWC reported slurs used to denigrate sexual orientation such as “breeder” being hurled at them over the following days. Unfortunately as the semester was coming to a close, the Left had yet to rise above the petty tactics of name calling.

The concerns for YWC members safety finally got the attention of the school administration who began to take our concerns seriously after seeing the near riot that erupted led by the membership of the Queer Student Union. A frank discussion was held with administrators, campus police, and YWC members to address concerns and stop the brushing under the rug of months of death threats, acts of vandalism, and intimidation against our membership.

In the aftermath of the Lefts campus wide temper tantrum and mob at Straight Pride Day, Towson YWC held a unanimous vote to do one final event before the dreaded Finals Week began. In honor of the constant war on Christianity and Christmas that the Left wages every year, we decided to host the ACLUSolsticeBarn in the University Union. The barn was described the campus newspaper as having “The three wise men featured the faces of Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, and Karl Marx; Nancy Pelosi’s face was pasted over that of the Angel Gabriel; a suicide bomber wore sheppard’s robes and carried a sheep on his back; and two men, Gary and Joseph, watched over a baby with President Barack Obama’s face.” The hand out we distributed to students, staff, and visitors detailed the American Civil Liberties Union worst crimes such as suing private displays of a cross and claiming that violent child pornography is protected 1st Amendment Speech. Our final event of the semester had a multitude of members come out to man the barn and answer interested students questions. Only one rabid Leftist decided to use profanity and throw things at our membership at this event, which we considered a success. More importantly however was the two new members that were signed up to join us in our struggle starting in the new year.

Towson YWC truly has been a roller coaster over its first semester. We have been triumphant on a deeper level than most of the founding members could have imagined in such a short time. We have weathered the storms of threats, destruction of our property, Professors singling us out in class, and a hostile campus environment. We were by far the most active political group at Towson University by holding weekly flier distributions and meetings while holding multiple major events a month. We took strong uncompromising stands on important issues like immigration, abortion, radical multiculturalism, Islam, and traditional marriage which resonated with the silent majority of Towson students. As we face the upcoming semester against an opposition that is better funded, more established, has control of the administration, and is the darling child of the media I feel that Towson YWC is strategically placed to deliver crippling blows to the establishment of our liberal university. We will not be silent to the cancer that is rotting not only our university, but our nation. We will bravely stand against the forces of darkness with a devotion to faith, family, and the flag. No longer will the homosexual, Muslim, and black supremacist groups be allowed to hijack our campus. No longer will the administrations double standards be allowed to remain unexposed, and no longer will conservatives have to fear sharing their viewpoints due to potential Leftist backlash. Youth for Western Civilization is preparing to take our campus back, all we need is the help of people like you to make it happen.

General George S Patton  famously said “Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.” The men and women of the Towson chapter of Youth for Western Civilization can guarantee one thing to the disgusting degenerates that make up our opposition, we always be on the attack.
