A WHITE supremacist group has plastered racist posters across two elite Melbourne high schools.

Private school Melbourne Grammar and select-entry public school, Melbourne High, were targeted over the weekend.

Posters were emblazoned with “keep Australia white”, “stop the hordes” and even called for the killing of Jewish people to be legalised.

They also encouraged supporters to “join your local Nazi group”.

RACIST POSTERS TARGET CHINESE UNI STUDENTS

Education Minister James Merlino condemned the posters.

“This is incredibly concerning for our school communities,” he said.

A copy of the flyer posted at Melbourne High and Melbourne Grammar.

“These sort of vile and disgusting comments and posters are not acceptable in the community and those individuals that placed them should be ashamed of themselves.”

Victoria Police confirmed it was investigating.

The Herald Sun understands Melbourne Grammar will refer CCTV footage to police.

“Every Victorian has the right to feel safe and secure in the community and Victoria Police will not tolerate any attempts to incite hatred or violence,” a police statement said.

“We ask anyone who witnesses, or is subject to discrimination or victimisation on the basis of ethnicity or religious beliefs to inform police immediately.”

Self-described Nazi group, Antipodean Resistance, claimed responsibility for the posters on Twitter.

“These high schools are overrun by nonwhites, which is encouraged by our traitorous government,” it said.

The group — that claims to be a youth organisation for people in their teens and early 20s — has previously “postered” popular Melbourne universities because of their high number of foreign students.

It last month plastered flyers written in Mandarin that claimed Chinese students would likely be deported if they entered certain areas at Melbourne and Monash universities.

The group plastered racist posters around Melbourne University last year and warned “we’re not going anywhere”.

Melbourne Grammar headmaster described the posters as offensive.

“Melbourne Grammar School strongly values inclusiveness and diversity,” he said.

“Any form of racism is offensive, unacceptable and has no place whatsoever in any School or in our society.”
