GW’s Young American Foundation plans to protest former President Jimmy Carter Sept. 29 when he will be on campus reading from his new memoir, “White House Diary.”

YAF hopes the protest show that “[Carter’s] policies are just as bad now as they were when he was in the White House,” their website says.

“GWYAF members oppose many of President Carter’s past and present policies, specifically his stances on Israel, his hypocrisy regarding human rights, and his anti-American view of the fall of the Berlin Wall,” a news release from the group said.

In the past, Carter has drawn fire over his comparison between Israel and the racist South African regime that oppressed Africans during Apartheid.

President Carter joins a list of high-profile political speakers at GW in the past year, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, first lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, former Vice President Al Gore and former first lady Laura Bush.
