Towson community frustrated with negative attention over racial issues - baltimoresun.com: Hundreds of students, alumni and professors at Towson University gathered Tuesday to declare that the school stands for tolerance and diversity, and that a student who has attracted international news coverage for advocating racial segregation does not represent them.
Some of those attending the student-planned rally said they were deeply frustrated and angry with news media attention to student Matthew Heimbach's White Student Union and the nighttime patrols that he said are aimed at fighting crime.
As they marched through Towson's campus, they sought to portray an image of inclusion and tolerance — one they say is far more representative of the majority of the university.
