Wednesday afternoon, white extremist group Patriot Front canvased campus with spray paint cans and stickers promoting their organization.
Some stickers read “reject poison” and had a needle in response to the COVID-19 vaccine while others have different messages. The rock in Boothe village was also spraypainted with the logo of the organization. University Housing had covered the logos when our reporter got to the scene.
Several students and organizations took to Twitter and Instagram to share their reactions to the group.

@nkuedu @nku_sga What do you plan to do about the rise in neonazi messaging being found on campus? Surely this should be dealt with rather than ignored. pic.twitter.com/Z0T4BlVKQT

As an African American student on NKU’s campus… this does not make me feel unsafe. This makes me angry. This makes me disgusted with our campus’ negligence to enforce their “free speech policy” on and around our campus. Lol Norse Up https://t.co/bt50njcGj6
