Conservative writer Ben Shapiro is set to give a speech at California State University on Thursday, and liberals are rolling out their progressive red carpet — greeting him with protests and threats of physical violence.
Young America’s Foundation reported that both students and professors are in an uproar over Shapiro’s speech topic “When Diversity Becomes a Problem.”
CSULA Professor Melina Abdullah, a leading activist behind the #AbolishThePolice movement, posted on her Facebook wall that students on campus should protest the conservative writer.
“You’re reading right… ‘When Diversity Becomes a Problem’ has been scheduled for 2/25 at California State University, Los Angeles, a campus that’s 90% students of color, and during #BlackHistoryMonth,” Abdullah wrote. “I say this event is a problem… What are we gonna do y’all?!?!”
The professor also spread a rumor that conservatives were planning on bringing guns to the event, a myth that the event’s host has dispelled.
Threats to the safety of the events attendees have come entirely from progressive professors and students.
Professor Robert Donald Weide challenged conservative students to a wrestling match, telling one of the commenters on the event’s Facebook page “I lift bro.”
Another Facebook page comment from a student activist threatened Shapiro saying “(he) won’t be talking or lookin so nice no more” after the event.
Social Justice Warriors on campus will be holding a counter rally “for diversity”on campus at the same time as Shapiro’s speech. They’ll be advocating for diversity of everything except for opinion, that’s strictly taboo.
