By Lauren Sieben A new report from the Anti-Defamation League raises concerns about a conservative student group, which it says has ties to white supremacists and a plan to expand at universities across the country. The student group—Youth for Western Civilization—says it's not a racist organization. Its stated mission is "to organize, educate, and train activists dedicated to the revival of Western Civilization." But the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish advocacy organization, says in its report that the student group uses "Western civilization" as a euphemism for "white culture." Youth for Western Civilization was founded in 2006 by Kevin DeAnna, a recent graduate of American University's School of International Service, and the organization will host its first conference in June, in Washington, D.C. More: ...an Israeli lawyer has filed a class-action lawsuit against former President Jimmy Carter, seeking $5 million in damages because his book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" allegedly defamed Israel.
