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.
