Sign promoting white nationalist group found at Manchester middle school

MANCHESTER, NH — A sign from a white nationalist group was discovered on a fence outside of Manchester middle school and now school officials are investigating.

The sign read "diversity is a code word for white genocide," and according to the Superintendent of Manchester Schools Bolgen Vargas, the sign is part of the larger campaign "White Genocide Project."

According to whitegenocideproject.com, the group believes that "diversity" is a coordinated campaign of genocide against white people. The group has active members in the U.S., Australia, Sweden, Great Britain and France.

On the website, there are free posters and fliers available for anyone to download, with phrases like "Africa for the Africans".

The Superintendent of Manchester Schools Bolgen Vargas sent a letter to Parkside Middle School parents explaining the "racially charged" situation Monday evening, reports NH1.

The sign was removed as soon as it was discovered, and an investigation is ongoing, according to the letter.

"The Manchester School District finds this act of bias deplorable and we denounce it," Vargas wrote. "And, we believe that incidents such as this one are isolated and limited to the few, while the majority of our great city celebrates our uniqueness and diversity in many ways."

Lt. O'Keefe of the Manchester Police Department said police are looking into the incident, but had no further information.
