Pro-ISIS Messages Found on Youngstown State University’s Campus
“We are coming” was painted on an iconic rock on Youngstown’s campus.

YSU students meeting now to repaint iconic rock
Youngstown State University students are working now to repaint the rock outside of Kilcawley Center with the American flag.
YSU senior Jordan Wolfe organized the Facebook page to repaint the rock with an American flag after discovering the rock had been defaced overnight with pro-ISIS messages.
Wolfe, a Boardman native and political science major, said the effort is to show what YSU is really about rather than the messages from this morning.
He also said he spoke to an international student who said the Arabic written this morning was misspelled.
“We are coming,” “France Deserves Destruction” and “YSU supports ISIS” were painted on the rock between Sunday night and this morning.
University crews painted over the messages this morning with white paint shortly after discovering it.
