The KKK is Recruiting on Clemson's Campus

When will the hate stop?

The KKK is Recruiting on Clemson's Campus

This week has already started off on a good note here at Clemson University with news of even more racial discrimination. The school seems to constantly be battling racial issues on campus and recent reports confirm this assumption.

This past week, there have already been three separate reports of inappropriate conduct and racial slurs directed at students on campus. Names and rude comments were claimed to have been yelled out of a moving vehicle and directed at students of color as they were walking around campus.

If this continuation of hate seems to surprise you then the next announcement of unsettling news is sure to leave you baffled.

Ziplock bags containing flyers for a new organization on campus were found lying on the grounds of the university this past week. What was picked up out of curiosity by many students, was also immediately thrown back down out of utter and complete surprise.

Apparently the Ku Klux Klan has made its way to Clemson University and seems to be recruiting. The image below is a picture of one of the flyers that was found lying around the university. Bags of these flyers were also found in Oconee County the same night.


The campus police reached out to federal law enforcement after these flyers were found and have since then increased their patrol on campus.

Of the three incidents reported this past week officers have identified the people involved in two of these cases and have said that those responsible are not affiliated with the university.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
