Quote:Not to be outdone by Williams College—a private institution that recently prohibited students from bringing a controversial conservative to campus—California State University in Los Angeles has taken the brazen step of forbidding its students from hosting conservative journalist Ben Shapiro.

Shapiro was invited by the campus's Young Americans for Freedom chapter, but Cal State administrators have delayed his appearance—so they can find a liberal speaker to debate him, they claim.

CSULA President William Covino justified the decision on the grounds that he was actually honoring the university's "dedication to the free exchange of ideas"

It's getting ridiculous.

So was this supposed to be a debate or did the Young Americans just wanted to have someone do a speech?

The second of those two.

I heard this today on his podcast. He's going anyway.

He said the CSULA administration green-lighted his event not once, but TWICE, and at the last minute bowed to the threats of the SJW radical leftists on campus. They've "rescheduled" it with no new date and no proposed new date.

Should be very interesting, and make for yet another great example (I'm sure he'll have people there to record the event in it's entirety) of the hypocrisy of "tolerant" radical left.

He should sue the system for breach of contract.

Here's another. He rips to shreds the left's talking points on income inequality, social justice, socialism, etc., and as a bonus, triggers the teacher/administrator (very well could be FitBud) at 27:58.

you do realize that 99% of those feeding trees don't have a clue, right?

another filed under the 'who gives a fk' category....

A conservative school group should invite the most liberal person available just to show these protesters how stupid they look.

Liberty has already had Sanders. He got respect and even polite applause on some topics.

Alright, they want some intellectual diversity, fine. So that means they'll now make sure their professors are split evenly along the ideological spectrum?

The want nothing to do with intellectual diversity. They are hypocrites of the highest level.

Sure enough, it went down today at Ben's speech. The tolerant left on full display.
