Clemson Bans References to Dead Gorilla Harambe due to PC Concerns

Share this article

Apparently, the popular internet sensation Harambe (the gorilla killed at a zoo after a child fell into its enclosure) is offending Clemson University administrators:

A Clemson administrator sent an email to Resident Advisors (RAs) Friday instructing them to demand that freshman remove all Harambe references from dorm hallways and windows.

The administrator claimed Harambe’s death has been used to “add to rape culture” and can be “form of racism.” An RA further added that any student who disobeys these instructions will be “in trouble.”
