The hateful materials were reported in areas including Clintonville, Upper Arlington, and Worthington. In Clintonville, resident Simon Buehrer found the flyers and business cards scattered near World Language Middle School and an elementary school. He immediately began collecting them, stating, “I’m not letting kids come to school, parents come to school, and see these things. This is not representative of who we are as a community here.”

Another Clintonville resident, Lesley, described the discovery as “disgusting” and “disappointing,” noting that neighbors quickly removed the materials. One flyer reportedly read, “No need for Flock when were on the block.”

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther condemned the incident, stating, “This vile and hateful intrusion in our neighborhoods goes against everything that the City of Columbus stands for. It is despicable behavior, and I am angry and saddened that children, families and all residents get exposed to this garbage.” Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin also issued a statement denouncing the flyers.

Similar incidents were reported in Upper Arlington, where flyers were found on several streets. Worthington Schools’ superintendent and school board also released a statement after “ugly” flyers were found near schools in their community. Their statement emphasized, “In Worthington, we welcome ALL. What we won’t accept are people who spread their hate under the cover of darkness. And we won’t tolerate this. We’re disgusted. We’re outraged. And we’re sad.”

Residents like Simon Buehrer highlighted the community’s quick response in cleaning up the flyers, which he believes reaffirms the welcoming nature of the neighborhoods despite the hateful act.

Warqado Nacayb ah oo Ku Klux Klan ah oo Laga Helay Xaafado ku Yaalla Franklin County oo Cadho Dhaliyay

Xaafado dhowr ah oo ku yaalla bartamaha gobolka Ohio ayaa Talaadadii subaxnimadii laga helay warqado nacayb ah oo ay ku qoran yihiin sawirrada iyo farriimaha kooxda Ku Klux Klan. Dhacdadan ayaa sababtay cambaarayn ballaaran oo ka timid dadka deegaanka, hoggaamiyeyaasha magaalada, iyo mas’uuliyiinta dugsiyada.

Simon Buehrer, oo ah qof degan Clintonville, ayaa sheegay inuu baaskiilkiisa waday Talaadadii subaxnimadii hore markii uu arkay warqado iyo kaarar ganacsi oo ku daadsan waddada agagaarka Dugsiga Dhexe ee Luqadaha Adduunka. Markii uu ogaaday in ay yihiin warqado iyo kaarar ay ku qoran yihiin sawirrada iyo farriimaha Ku Klux Klan, wuxuu bilaabay inuu ururiyo. Wuxuu yiri, “Ma ogolaanayo in carruurta iyo waalidiintu ay dugsiga yimaadaan oo ay arkaan waxyaalahan. Tani ma matalayso cidda aan nahay bulsho ahaan halkan.”

Warqadaha ayaa sidoo kale laga helay agagaarka dugsi hoose oo ku yaalla xaafadda Clintonville, sida ay sheegtay Columbus City Schools. Mid ka mid ah warqadahaas ayaa lagu qoray, “Looma baahna Flock marka aan joogno xaafadda.” Warqadaha ayaa sidoo kale laga helay waddooyin kale oo ku yaalla aagga, halkaas oo dadka deegaanka ay gacan ka geysteen nadiifintooda.

Lesley, oo ah qof degan Clintonville, ayaa tilmaantay in warqadaha si degdeg ah loo qaaday. Waxay tiri, “Waa wax karaahiyo ah, aad bay u niyad jab tahay in weli ay jiraan waxyaalahan, dhammaanteen waxaan jeclaan lahayn inaan u malaynno inaan ka gudubnay xilligaas taariikhdeena.” Simon Buehrer ayaa sidoo kale sheegay in jawaabta degdegga ah ee deriska ay xaqiijinayso in xaafaddu tahay meel gaar ah oo cajiib ah.

Duqa magaalada Columbus, Andrew Ginther, ayaa bayaan uu soo saaray ku cambaareeyay dhacdadan, isagoo yiri, “Ficilkan xun iyo midka nacaybka leh ee lagu soo farageliyay xaafadaheena wuxuu ka hor imaanayaa wax kasta oo ay u taagan tahay magaalada Columbus. Waa dabeecad xun, waxaana iga xanaajisay oo iga murugaysay in carruurta, qoysaska iyo dhammaan dadka deegaanka ay la kulmaan qashinkan.” Guddoomiyaha Golaha Magaalada, Shannon Hardin, ayaa sidoo kale soo saaray bayaan uu ku cambaareynayo dhacdada.

Warqado la mid ah ayaa laga helay waddooyin dhowr ah oo ku yaalla Upper Arlington. Maamulka dugsiyada Worthington Schools iyo guddiga dugsiyada ayaa sidoo kale soo saaray bayaan ka dib markii warqado “fool xun” laga helay bulshadooda, oo ay ku jiraan agagaarka dugsiyada. Bayaankooda ayaa lagu yiri, “Worthington, waxaan soo dhaweynaa DHAMMAAN. Waxa aanan aqbali doonin waa dadka faafiya nacaybkooda mugdiga hoostiisa. Mana dulqaadan doono tan. Waan ka xunnahay. Waan ka cadhoonay. Waana murugaysannahay.”

Simon Buehrer wuxuu carrabka ku adkeeyay in jawaabta degdegga ah ee bulshada ee ah in la nadiifiyo warqadaha ay xaqiijinayso dabeecadda soo dhaweynta leh ee xaafadaha inkastoo ay jirto ficilkan nacaybka ah.
