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.

OK.
Harambe lives matter!
My mind just doesn’t want to believe the Bill Cosby stories. I guess he just seemed like such a nice & positive person.
There's nothing to understand.
The leftist pea brains running or coercing the
universities and colleges make it up day by day according
to what leftist/liberal/Democrat Party
social cause is currently in vogue at the time.
The programs are dropped as soon as they are no longer
useful at intimidating others or gaining more power
for the leftist barbarians running the school.
Michelle and Hillary, on the same page!
You made me LOL.
“My mind just doesn’t want to believe the Bill Cosby stories. I guess he just seemed like such a nice & positive person.”
I believe it, but he could have tranquilized Harambe just as he tranquilized those women! Unfortunately, no one consulted him.
As long as I’ve been alive, universities and colleges have been a hotbed for leftist insanity.
omg lol
