CSULA Canceled Shapiro After Leftists Compared Him To KKK. Hundreds of Protesters Ripped University In Response.

According to Heat Street, after administrators at Cal State LA canceled a speech by Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro scheduled for late February, they were deluged with phone calls and emails from students, parents and alumni angry that the University was limiting free speech.

Two months before the scheduled speech, which was titled “When Diversity Becomes A Problem,” members of the administration acknowledged that Shapiro’s well-known criticisms of the tactics of the Left could engender an explosive reaction from furious leftists. Ironically, Shapiro’s speech was championing the value of diversity of thought and free speech.
