After receiving his
Associate of Arts at Montgomery in 2011, Heimbach transferred to Towson University in 2011.[SUP]
[13][/SUP] By September, the new student was already making headlines in
The Towerlight, Towson's student newspaper, as he sought to establish a chapter of
Youth for Western Civilization on campus.[SUP]

John Donovan, whom Heimbach had known since high school,[SUP]
[15][/SUP] helped out and became the group's Vice President.[SUP]
[16][/SUP] Opposition came from liberals parroting
Southern Poverty Law Center reports as well as from the Black Student Union and other non-White racial organizations. Initially, Heimbach took a very conciliatory approach, stating in a
Towerlight video interview that he aimed to "revitalize the political atmosphere in universities that seems to have been lost," and introduced himself to the leaders of the
Progressive Democrats, and to the heads of Latino and sexual degenerate groups at a club fair shortly after transferring as a show of friendship, hoping "to promote good, positive debate, and create that sort of culture, where, even if we disagree, hopefully at the end of the day we can still go out for pizza together." When asked to define
Western Civilization, he did so in purely cultural terms.[SUP]

The group's first event was commemoration of the
September 11 attacks at a 9/11 memorial held jointly with the
College Republicans. Other events focused on protesting a Maryland Heritage Day with emphasis on
Frederick Douglass, and a Zionist propaganda handout with materials from the
David Horowitz Foundation (which was poorly attended),[SUP]
[18][/SUP] along with populist opposition to
gay "marriage" and
illegal immigration.[SUP]
[19][/SUP] Even these gestures and the impartial treatment by
The Towerlight were barely enough; on September 14 the group gained official approval in a 10-5 Student Government Association vote, with the student senators largely overriding a hostile crowd of over 150 students and administrators that attended the SGA meeting.[SUP]

In its year of activity, the YWC chapter invited conservative activist and campaign manager
Bay Buchanan to speak at the school,[SUP]
[21][/SUP] held a Straight Pride Day (the event was constantly disrupted by a camp of degenerates sitting on the floor and spouting sound bites in protest),[SUP]
[22][/SUP] an anti-communist
Nativity scene,[SUP]

Sharia protest outside an event sponsored by the campus
