MIZZOU STUDENTS HALLUCINATE KKK ON CAMPUS: Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater, call your office!

Late Tuesday night, Twitter began to explode with students and others claiming that KKK members had been spotted walking around MU’s flagship Columbia campus. The rumors appear to have been given major life after MU’s student body president, Payton Head, made a Facebook post declaring that the KKK sighting had been confirmed and that he was actively working with police and even the National Guard on the matter.
Read the whole thing. Perhaps they’re looking for the campus Klan in the all the wrong places, though. (And not just in Berkeley.) That’s the Robert C. Byrd Biotechnology Science Center at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia:
