Update: Clemson University has issued a statement saying the ban was the result of one rogue employee and that students are free to publicly display Harambe at their dorms.
Correction: the original article said the ban was the result of an “administrator” but in fact it was from a lone staff member with an official sounding title.
The famed neuroscientist David Eagleman once said: “There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.”
It seems that social justice warriors are demanding this third death for the sweet, gentle giant Harambe, the gorilla who was tragically shot at the Cincinnati Zoo in May.
A housing staff member at Clemson University is banning students from publicly displaying references to Harambe, saying he promotes racism and rape culture, Campus Reform reported.
Following Harambe’s death, the internet came together to immortalize Harambe in meme form, with timeless mottos like “dicks out for Harambe” and “Harambe did 9/11.” But it seems these cries of solidarity with the slain gorilla are misunderstood by certain colleges. A few weeks ago RAs at U Mass threatened Title IX investigations toward students using Harambe memes.
At Clemson, the ban was the result of an “incident” the staff member refused to elaborate on, involving offensive use of a Harambe. They too are threatening Title IX inquisitions over gorilla-inspired hate speech.
Sure, Harambe can be used for both good and evil, but the soul of the Western lowland gorilla will always remain pure. Students across the country must rise up and stop this Harambe censorship before it’s too late. Before the memory of the beautiful creature is lost forever.
There is a poll at the site. I think I am the only one who has voted.
In my S and E Atlanta, Based on t-sirts, signs, etc.
Harambe for President has the most support.
Johnson is second.
Bernie 3d
I have yet to see a Trump or Clinton sign, bumper sticker except when I go to N Atlanta or far burbs.
Read the story and:

Who shot Harambe?
Bush
LBJ
A second gunman on the grassy knoll
Cincinnati Zoo officials
Gamergate
Who, What, Where, When, Why and How, first sentence.
Who should I vote for? I’m having such a difficult time choosing the right answer. Does anyone have the Cliffnotes for the answer?
Next debate, Trump needs to seriously consider looking right at Hillary and asking her “Did you have Harambe killed?”
Millennial collegians would go for Trump so hard it would make Rachel Maddows head spin like the chick in the exorcist...
Lord, Lord, they shot Harambe down.

Hillary Clinton did not proclaim that the gorilla shot in a Cincinnati zoo was a victim of “racism.”

That is a great and well made meme!
