(U.S.) Vermont: Professor linked to white pride
— “Civil rights group says Griffin is a neo-Nazi; others disagree”
— “For more than 30 years, Robert S. Griffin has taught education courses at the University of Vermont.”
— “But when he is not in the classroom, Griffin is a prolific writer on the topic of white pride — and his books and essays are extremely popular among the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements in the United States.”
— “Griffin, a tenured professor at the Burlington university, is the writer of a fawning biography of William Pierce, the late leader of the pro-white National Alliance movement, whose book, “The Turner Diaries,” an apocalyptic race war novel, inspired Timothy McVeigh.”
— “Griffin could not be reached for comment this week, by phone and e-mail, although he has defended his views to media outlets in the past. Nine years ago he told the Village Voice that he did not agree with Pierce and was simply a ‘conduit’ for his views.”
— But others take a far different perspective. ‘Dr. Griffin is a neo-Nazi,’ said Heidi Beirich, the director of research at the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that also tracks hate groups across the country. ‘Because of his writings, he’s a major player in the white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements.'”
