How Students Are Reacting To Milo Yiannopoulos' Visit To Clemson

Milo Yiannopoulos is making an appearance on Clemson's campus this October and democratic students are far from happy about his upcoming visit.

Yiannopoulos is British journalist known for his conservative news reports and opinions. Recent news has revealed that left-leaning students, including the Students For a Democratic Society organization, have now formed an "Anti-Milo Event Committee." This organization on campus is composed of Clemson students and Todd May, a philosophy professor. They have also joined with communications professor, Chenjerai Kumanyika, to form this new Milo rebellion.

Riots and destruction will be taking a part in making sure that Yiannopoulos knows he is not welcome here in Tiger Town. Undercover audio from the organization's meeting reveals the SDS president stating Yiannopolous is "someone I want to punch in the throat" and that she is "going to throw paint all over" flyers promoting the event. It has also been revealed that SDS students have made previous threats toward Yiannopolous on Twitter. One tweet read,"If somebody put a bullet in Milo's head I would donate to that person's bail fund." Not only did these students use their meeting to express their personal hatred for Yiannopoulos, but the SDS also mocked our First Amendment by referring to is as 'freeze peach.'

Campus Reform contacted the SDS president and also professor Kumanyika for their comments on the released audio. Only Dawn Lifsey, the SDS president, responded to the request declining to giver her comments.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
