this leaves the flyers and hanging propaganda posters up, that caters directly to students.
On the Tirsdalens School in Randers kept a member even a megaphone-speak, while others from the movement stood around him and were holding a banner. The speech was subsequently posted on the movement’s website.

About the incident on Tirsdalens School tells skolechef Jesper Kousholt, that the school took the matter very seriously and contacted the police as soon as they discovered what was going on.
– And then made sure the staff, all the pupils were inside the school, he says to Ekstra Bladet.
the Extra Leaf has been in contact with several schools who have recently received the visit of The Nordic Resistance movement, also called the Nordfront.
One of them is Østervangsskolen in Randers, if the students goes to 0. to 6. class. Here, the resistance of a weekend, hung up posters.
I came in early Monday morning and saw the posters, and then I moved them down. Later in the day came the police and took them, says school principal Peter Nellemann for the Extra Magazine.
He stresses that the school takes the focus distance to the movement.
– they think They can get at a school where the students go in the 0. to 6. class, and recruit members. I’m tongue-tied, he says.
In Sweden the movement has several hundred active members. It is not known to the public, where many danes are active in the movement.
last week was a leading member of the Danish department charged with vandalism against jewish graves.
In this context called an anthropologist and researcher of extremism at Aarhus University Tina Wilchen Christensen, the movement for an organization, ‘which stands for racism and unmitigated anti-semitism’. The movement calls himself a ‘revolutionary nationalsocialistisk kamporganisation’.
According to the same expert, there is a clear tactics behind The Nordic Resistance presence in schools around the country.
– It is an expression of a conscious strategy, where you try to recruit young people, says Tina Wilchen Christensen for the Extra Magazine.
Young people do not have quite the same view and perspective on things, which you build through life. They see the world very black and white, and it may be easier for groups such as Nordfront to talk into it, she says.
– Therefore, the message will most likely slide easier down among young people. They are more vulnerable to recruitment.

May seem exciting
According to Tina Wilchen Christensen, an organization which Nordfront attract young people, not already are racists or nazis.
– It may seem exciting and fun to be with in something semi-illegal and secret, and so the group may charge some of the young people, because it offers a camaraderie and a community, she says.
– So even if the young people do not necessarily went into the movement because of ideology, comes thereby to learn to perceive the world in a certain way. I’ve even interviewed young people from The Swedish Resistance movement only with the benefit of hindsight discovered that they had been nazis.
According to the researcher, may radicalisation happen for children and young people in all parts of society.
– To feel socially vulnerable or lacking in a community can contribute to seek out groups like The Nordic Resistance movement. Conversely, there are also people that do not fit in the categories, but which, nevertheless, become radicalised, ” she says.

Tina Wilchen Christensen believes that it is important that schools articulate it, if The Nordic Resistance movement leaves the propaganda in their areas.
– It is, after all, an attempt at manipulation, and schools should definitely italesætte it over to the students. However, it is important that they do not do it with a lifted index finger, as there’s a risk that contribute to the excitement that can omgærde group.
– You should inform the students about what it is for a group, and what methods they use. Students need to understand that Nordfront will offer companionship and community. But what follows is not so much fun, she says.
the Principal of the Østervangsskolen Peter Nellemann says that the school does not have italesat the posters that were hung up.
– There were not any children who came to see them, and we have therefore chosen not to make a big thing out of it, says Peter Nellemann.
– Will italesætte it, if it happens again?
– If we begin to experience more of this kind of cases, so we will of course take it away, he says.
Skolechef Jesper Kousholt says also, that at the schools where the material has been taken down early, they have chosen not to communicate it to the parents.
– But in the event of Tirsdalens School we spoke it out to parents and students, he says.
Ekstra Bladet has tried to get a comment from The Nordic Resistance movement. They have not returned to our request before deadline.
