Anti-Tancredo protester's grant on the line

Looks like denying free speech and disorderly conduct may endanger the prestigious scholarship of one the students who disrupted Tom Tancredo's speech at the University of North Carolina. According to the Raleigh News and Observer, the Morehead-Cain foundation is still investigating Haley Koch's actions. Good.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice if this globalist bully lost her $140,000 scholarship and had to compete with illegal aliens for menial jobs to pay for tuition?

(Of course, that isn't going to happen, since the article indicates her parents are well-educated and well-to-do. Typical, isn't it, how multiculturalism is the pet project of the affluent?)

But what caught my eye was this little aside in the News and Observer article:

On the day of her arrest, Haley Koch received the 2009 Undergraduate Excellence Award from the APPLES Service-Learning program for her work organizing United with the Northside Community Now. UNC-NOW works to preserve the identity of the historically black neighborhood north of downtown Chapel Hill.

So -- Koch thinks it's a good thing for historically black communities to want to preserve their identity. And just how does her group go about doing that?

As I always endeavor to do, I'll let the other side speak for themselves. Here's the UNC-NOW mission statement:

United with the Northside Community Now (UNC-NOW) is a community-university organization made up of a wide range of community members who are committed to confronting the economic and social trends of gentrification and displacement in the historically African-American neighborhoods of Chapel Hill/Carrboro ...

Yeah, when upper middle-class whites refurbish and move into homes in black neighborhoods, they're displacing the traditional black residents. That's why many blacks -- and guilty whites -- see gentrification as a threat to black culture.

Also interesting is how UNC-NOW's program for preserving and promoting traditionally black neighborhoods echoes the League of the South's program for promoting Southern farms and small businesses. Again, from the UNC-NOW web site:

3. Train and employ local youth and community members
4. Support local businesses in their efforts to sustain a vital economic life.
5. Spearhead property tax relief in traditionally low wealth neighborhoods
6. Require strict adherence to the application review process for new developments in or near the Northside, Pine Knolls, Rogers-Eubanks and Ridgefield communities.

Does UNC-NOW have the right to pursue such an agenda? If so, does the League have the same right?
