CSULA Leftists Complain Ben Shapiro Lecture Will Damage Their Mental Health

CSULA Leftists Complain Ben Shapiro Lecture Will Damage Their Mental Health

Campus leftists aren’t too happy about Ben Shapiro’s upcoming lecture at California State University Los Angeles. The event, part of the Young America’s Foundation Fred R. Allen Lecture Series, takes place on February 25th at 2 pm in the Student Union on CSULA’s campus. Shapiro’s presentation, entitled “When Diversity Becomes a Problem,” will discuss “trigger warnings, diversity, and microaggressions.” Such as was the case at the University ofMissouri in November, conservative firebrand Ben Shapiro will be tackling leftists narratives and discussing how many campus liberals need to “toughen up.” At CSULA, leftists are up in arms. They’ve taken over the event’s Facebook page, calling CSUYAF and Ben Shapiro “intolerant,” “racists,” and “white supremacists.” One student even claimed that this event will “damage her mental health.” Another claimed that the lecture is a “threat to campus safety.” Check out some of the screenshots below. Despite the backlash, CSULA YAF is standing strong and fervently preparing for the February 25th lecture. Said CSULA YAF chairman Mark Kahanding, “The left believes by censoring Ben Shapiro, that they are doing the right thing. In reality, they’re destroying freedom of speech for the sake of political correctness. We look forward to hosting Ben on campus and encourage people of all opinions to attend and participate in an open discussion.” In the words of Ben Shapiro, “toughen up spoiled children” and get ready for another exciting campus lecture.
