Controversial Towson U Student Attempts to Create White Student Union

Inthecapitol

After garnering over 300 comments on his school’s student newspaper website and a great amount of negative attention from many on campus, Towson University student Matthew Heimbach’s wish to create a White Student Union has not been received as well as he may have thought it would be.

Relaying that the purpose of the White Student Union is solely to act like any other student union, standing as a support network for other white students on campus and praising the illustrious white figures of the past, Heimbach’s intentions are clear. “We’d also want to create a safe space for members who have filed hate/bias reports and who have had anti-white language used against them,” he explained further. “Especially the female members who have heard ‘cracker’ and ‘honkie,’ and nothing has ever come of it. It’s a support network for a campus that is hostile toward white students.” Heimbach’s assertion is that Towson’s campus is prejudiced against whites, an idea many with connections to the university find to be untrue.
