The University of Utah’s Students for a Democratic Society — an organization that is anything but democratic — papered the campus with creepy fliers calling on students to “Shut Down Ben Shapiro” at the Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief’s planned speech on Wednesday.

The fliers, which bear the SDS logo, claim Shapiro trades in “hate speech,” that Shapiro is at the head of “a growing right-wing bigoted movement,” and that he “works actively to spread racial and anti-LGBTQ+ vitriol throughout the country,” At the bottom, the flier features a Shepard Fairey-like caricature of a scowling Shapiro, clearly commanding the University of Utah student body to obey him or else.
