Controversy at Ole Miss’ over the song “From Dixie with Love” has gotten the attention of the state’s Ku Klux Klan. They aren’t happy that Ole Miss’ has demanded students stop shouting “the South will rise again” during the song at games.

According to the Daily Reveille, the KKK will rally on the campus of Ole Miss’ tomorrow to take a stand for their “Christian, southern heritage and culture.”

They’ll be the ones in the white hoods, most likely.

Shane Tate, the North Mississippi great titan for the Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, confirmed via e-mail the KKK will rally on Ole Miss’ campus in protest of the Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones’ decision to remove “From Dixie with Love” from the Ole Miss band’s song selection.

“We are coming to Ole Miss to say enough is enough on attacking our Christian, southern heritage and culture, and it’s time for every person to have a right to freedom of speech,” Tate said.

Lago confirmed Ole Miss has been contacted by the KKK and said the group has the right to voice its opinions as long as it doesn’t interfere with university activity or the personal rights of others.

“We aren’t coming there to cause problems or cause trouble,” Tate said. “Trouble has already been caused by a handful at Ole Miss, including the black student body president, who wants to shape Ole Miss into yet another liberal sodomite college.”
