Clemson University CRs Fight Back Against School Discrimination, Draw National Attention!

On Saturday, April 6th, the Clemson CRA chapter were targeted by false accusations of “soliciting” at a sporting event, while trying to promote their endorsed candidate for U.S Congress, Stewart Jones. 

According to the group's page on X, the club was “ told by university officials and the athletic department that we were violating their "soliciting" policy and were ordered to take down our Stewart Jones signs and flyers. However, this is not our first rodeo, so we challenged them on this asinine attack on our protected First Amendment right. After explaining that we were not "soliciting" several times, the officer in the video decided to report our chairman and secretary to the Office of Community and Ethical Standards (OCES) at Clemson University” (@Clemsoncrs, X). 

Very shortly following the posting of this video, a major show of support took place online for the Clemson College Republicans, from not only fellow CRA chapters, but from very well-known and important members of Congress as well, including Adam Morgan and Matt Gaetz. Gaetz reposted the video on X, with a quote saying… “BRAVO to the students who knew their rights and stood their ground. What consequences are these boneheaded administrators facing for trying to bully people based on their own flawed read on the law?” (Matt Gaetz, X) Adam Morgan also took to X to say… “These students stood up for their 1st Amendment rights even in the face of threats from University officials and law enforcement.  The future is bright with young patriots like these in SC! The @SCFreedomCaucus has your back.” (Adam Morgan, X)
