A Mississippi State University journalism ethics instructor seemed to suggest that a conservative student group, Young Americans for Freedom, was kind of similar to the KKK.
“Hey the White Male Student Caucus holding a gathering,†stated the lecturer, Ryan Phillips, in a March 20 tweet commenting on a photo of one of the group’s events, which featured a “Build The Wall†display.
“Hoods and burning crosses optional,†he continued, followed by an emoji face with glasses.
Phillips’s account is locked — only approved followers have access to his tweets — but a screenshot of the tweet in question was obtained by Campus Reform.
