W. Kent Fuchs is the current president of the University of Florida. He has been the leader of the university since January 1, 2015. Today, he has the displeasure of hosting white supremacist Richard Spencer who as part of his BS [belief system) promotes the ideology that America “belongs to white men.” Spencer favors white privilege and chose the University of Florida as his platform to deliver his bias views on Thursday afternoon, October 19, 2017. It’s his first visit to a college campus since he and others participated in the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, this past August. Not surprisingly there are more of these to come.
On Monday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency for Alachua County, (Gainesville) Florida. “I find that the threat of a potential emergency is imminent,” he states in an executive order.
Leaving my @WUFTNews shift I walked through Turlington and heard the Negro National Anthem playing from the clock. Thank you for that @UF pic.twitter.com/B9SeW17zLi

In his social media message, Fuchs expresses his disdain and shares that Spencer, who is the president of the National Policy Institute, and his BS views are not welcome.
