Separatist on Bozeman ballot - billingsgazette.com

A member of a white separatist group who believes public schools are ignoring whites and promoting homosexuality is stirring up the Bozeman school board election. Kevin McGuire, 23, shocked many this spring when he gathered enough signatures to run for one of three open spots on the seven-member board. The California native had just moved to the community last fall and was vilified by some after the group he belongs to, the National Alliance, claimed responsibility for racist literature distributed in town. The group also showed up to oppose a Martin Luther King Jr. rally that drew more than 1,000 people. (...) McGuire, who prefers to be known as a European-American activist rather than a neo-Nazi and white supremacist, shrugs off the criticism as ignorance and said he's committed to reforming Bozeman schools. He says white students are ignored in a system that promotes other cultures and puts George Washington and other founding fathers on the back burner. Public schools also teach and promote homosexuality and strip parents of control over their children, he said. "White children are often installed with guilt and a feeling of being ashamed because of the way that whites have dealt with minorities in the past, such as black slavery and the killing of Indians," McGuire said in a telephone interview. "Past discrimination should not result in present-day reverse discrimination against white kids." The National Alliance Web site calls for the preservation of the white race and lists among its primary goals a "white living space" and an "Aryan society." Membership has dropped severely since the 2002 death of leader William Pierce, and some human rights groups say the organization is falling apart. siehe auch: White supremacist running for school board in Bozeman.
