University of Houston student says 'neo-Nazi propaganda' posters found on campus

A student found and took down posters supporting white supremacists on the University of Houston main campus Wednesday.

Micheal Leone called the posters "neo-Nazi propaganda" that came from Vanguard America, a white supremacist group, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

"I will do everything in my ability to stand up for my self and peers targeted by this terrorist group and will be demanding in person that our schools administrators do the same," Leone wrote in a Wednesday Facebook post. "We can't allow this to be a new normal. We cannot let our school get a reputation as a safe recruiting ground for neo-Nazis."

Leone told Chron.com that he took down approximately 30 posters.

"I'm not going to let U of H, one of the most diverse campuses in America, get a reputation as a safe space for Nazis and fascists to come and recruit people," he said. "This group is a very dangerous threat that students should take seriously."
