But with official recognition it gets to do​ stuff on campuses like affirmative action bake sales and other racist and misogynist and homophobic crap. Without recognition it might be harder for them to do.
I get that their hearts are in the right place and all, but this is a dumb letter and a dumb request. The CRs would have a strong 1A case against such a move at a public university, and I'm sure WSU people know this.
Whether it's this or right wing crackpots freaking out over condoms and sex and nudity or whatever, legislators really need to resist the impulse to throw their weight around and meddle in the minutiae of student affairs.
Original Andrew @5: Abso-fuckin-lutely! Ever since the GOP 'Southern Strategy' to suck in uneducated, racist, swamp-dwelling white trash, Republicans have stood for, condoned & magnified hate & Wall Street greed. Now Trump has encouraged white trash losers like James Allsup—not to mention Nazis in downtown Seattle—to come out of the woodwork to spew their racist, misogynist & homophobic bile. These tiny-dicked twits richly deserve a mega-dose of karma directed back at their warped personas.
To all the people whining about slippery slope:
If the there was a formal white supremacist group on WSU's campus it would be appropriate to cut off any institutional support. Their very existence as a sanctioned group on campus has a chilling effect to every non-white person (as well as most women, LGBTQ, Jewish people, etc.).
Here we have a situation where a WSU group is nominally not a hate group but active involvement with hate groups and distribution of hate speech were seen as assets, not a liability, reflected in the fact they made James Allsup their leader.
So even if they are self identifying as a hate group, they have effectively become one, and WSU should remove any institutional support the group receives.
