Michigan State University to host controversial British leader

By Todd A. Heywood | 02.11.10 | 8:10 am

The controversial leader of the British National Party is coming back to Michigan State University.

Nick Griffin, who appeared on the campus in October of 2007, will speak there again on Feb. 18, according to a press release on the American Renaissance web page.

The newly established and registered student organization at Michigan State University, the Sons of Liberty, will host Nick Griffin as a speaker from noon to 1:30 p.m. on February 18, 2010, to discuss how the fraud of man-made global warming is used by liberals to attack the sovereignty of nation-states. Griffin is the chairman of the British National Party—the fourth largest and fastest growing political party in the United Kingdom—and he is an elected parliamentarian of the European Parliament and current candidate for the U.K. Parliament.

Griffin’s appearance in 2007 was the focus of intense protests. Griffin is a virulent racist who has demanded that all non-whites and non-Europeans be expelled from England. He has also made statements denying the holocaust.
