A Clemson University professor and multiple far-left students and student organizations have formed the ‘Anti-Milo Event Committee’ and are planning a protest for Milo Yiannopoulos’ Oct. 18 speaking event.
The Clemson chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) is the primary planner of the ‘Anti-Milo’ committee, headed by club president Dawn Lifsey and philosophy professor Todd May. According to undercover audio evidence, SDS is also working with Clemson professor Chenjerai Kumanyika and the leader of the university’s Black Lives Matter affiliate ‘See The Stripes,’ A.D. Carson. Other student organizations that were interested in or contacted to join the protest include the university’s feminist club and LGBT club.
“We’re going to have an event planning committee that’s just going to organize around the Milo thing … so we can work together with Fem Club, Chen [Kumanyika], and A.D. [Carson],” said Clemson SDS president Lifsey, according to audio evidence of a Sept. 29 chapter meeting.
During this chapter meeting, Lifsey can be heard referring to Yiannopoulos as “someone I want to punch in the throat” and a Nazi. Lifsey also claims that she plans on vandalizing some of the flyers around campus. “I’m gonna’ throw paint all over [the event flyer] or something,”she said.
The Clemson SDS president even went so far as to publicly threaten Yiannopoulos, tweeting, “If somebody put a bullet in Milo’s head I would donate to that person’s bail fund.”
Throughout the audio recording, SDS members can be heard mocking free speech by calling it “freeze peach” and claiming Clemson only cares about “freeze peaches.”
Kumanyika, the Clemson professor helping with the protest plans, is an outspoken Black Lives Matter advocate and has been part of campus controversies before.
Red Alert Politics reached out to Kumanyika for comment, but the professor did not respond.
