Rep: Texas A&M cancels Sept. 11 White Lives Matter event

Here is some good news http://www.chron.com/local/education/campus-chronicles/article/Rep-Texas-A-M-cancels-Sept-11-White-Lives-11818626.php?ipid=ntk

Rep. John Raney said Monday on the House floor that a white supremacist rally on Texas A&M University's campus has been cancelled. A university spokeswoman confirmed the news later Monday, citing safety concerns.

Texas A&M administrators consulted with law enforcement, system leaders and regents before cancelling the rally, spokeswoman Amy Smith said.

Preston Wiginton, a former Texas A&M student, had announced on Saturday that he would host a White Lives Matter event in College Station on Sept. 11. He planned to host a White Lives Matter representative from Houston and Richard Spencer, a white nationalist who espoused racist views on that campus in December.
