Swastika projected on University of Wisconsin-Whitewater dorm by group 'chanting racist words'

The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is currently investigating after a group of people projected a swastika on a residence hall and chanted "racist words," according to university personnel.

On Sunday, Jan. 21, around 5:40 p.m., UW-Whitewater police received reports of four people outside a residence hall chanting racist words and lighting what appeared to be road flares and displaying antisemitic symbols, according to a statement from university chancellor Corey A. King.

Police quickly responded to the scene, but the group had already taken off. The incident was confirmed by surveillance video.

"The actions of the group last night are abhorrent and go against our core values. At UW-Whitewater, we strive to create a safe community where everyone feels a sense of belonging. We take pride in our Warhawk family. We reject hate in all its forms," King stated.

King said the actions of the individuals are consistent with a group that has been visiting other campuses, and has no affiliation with UW-Whitewater whatsoever. Out of an abundance of caution, the university increased police patrols on campus.

"For those who seek to tell us ‘don’t believe your lying eyes,' while professing that we have moved beyond racism, here is yet another example of the work that remains to be done, in this state and nation, on issues of race, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)," Taylor stated.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact University Police at police@uww.edu or 262-472-4660.

Artemis II vs Apollo: Why this mission loops the moon but doesn't land

More than half a century after NASA’s final Apollo mission, astronauts prepared Wednesday to return to the moon, but this time, they will not land. Instead, four crew members aboard Artemis II will fly past the moon on a 10-day mission, traveling farther into space than any humans since the Apollo era. The mission is designed as a crewed lunar flyby, a critical test of NASA’s deep-space systems before attempting future landings, according to NASA. Launched aboard the Space Launch System rocket, the Orion spacecraft will first enter Earth's orbit before following a precise path known as a "free-return" trajectory. NASA BEGINS INFRASTRUCTURE OVERHAUL UNDER ISAACMAN AS TRUMP PUSHES AMBITIOUS SPACE EXPLORATION GOALS Scientists said the route uses the combined gravitational forces of Earth and the moon to carry the spacecraft around the far side of the moon and safely back home without requiring major course corrections. Artemis II will mark the first time astronauts ...
