Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine held a demonstration at UCLA on Monday 21 October, the day that Young America's Foundation brought Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro to give an evening speech to the campus community.

KABC TV News reports that there were several tents set up near Powell Library, and there were also banners with slogans that read "Stop arming Israel" and "Resistance is Justified." Campus police say that in addition to the unauthorized structures, the group was also using loud speakers- which is against campus policy.

The demonstration brings out concerns about the potential for biased narratives surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict. Such protests often simplify complex geopolitical issues and overlook the role of Islamic militant groups in perpetuating violence. The emphasis on solidarity with Palestine can be seen as one-sided, potentially alienating students who support Israel and diminishing the call for balanced discourse on campus. 

Additionally, the protest is as an example of how academic institutions may prioritize activism over rigorous scholarship, raising questions about the impact on campus culture and the pursuit of objective truth.

UCLA alumnus, Ben Shapiro, addressed a packed audience under high-security, necessitated by the IslaMarxist activists who impeded a scheduled Y.A.F. talk last semester by conservative writer, Robert Spencer.

Mr. Shapiro, when asked by a student what UCLA administration ought do with the Sukkah-pretense encampers, instantly replied to expel them.

Here is the video from inside the auditorium- livestreamed by Young America's Foundation (without captions). The security apparatus to enter was more stringent as a sporting event.

Audience members lined-up for a chance at challenging Mr. Shapiro on camera and mic (hosted on Facebook):

Cal State L.A. students block ticket-holders from Ben Shapiro extending "diversity" to political viewpoints- with officials' complicity

Leftist-students and faculty protestors prevented school and community members from entering a public lecture by author, Ben Shapiro, at Calif State Univ at Los Angeles on Thursday, February 25th. 

Organized by club Y.A.F. (Young America's Foundation/ Young Americans for Freedom) Mr. Shapiro's speech was cancelled by College President William Covino, but then begrudgingly permitted at the last minute. Students, accompanied by faculty, assaulted individuals who came to attend the lecture, and protested so violently that the police locked themselves in the auditorium, leaving people on the waiting line to the whims of the aggressive mob. 

Campus police declined to get involved and control the mob to protect attendees from harrassment and assault at both the front and rear entrances.

College's actions validate author, Ben Shapiro's premise about liberal intolerance silencing diverse viewpoints

In this 7-minute story, we show what took place among the protestors and attendees outside the locked-out lecture. Mr. Shapiro is the author of (among several books),"Bullies: How the Left's Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences Americans." Inadvertently, the protesters confirmed his premise.

Ticket-holder, John Minter, attempts to inquire why one of the protesters assaulted him in the theater lobby- and on camera, he confronts both Mr. Minter and the cameraman. When we approached the group of police gathered down the stairs, they refuse to intercede between the aggressors and the attendees that the students harrassed. Amy Lutz of Young America Foundation explains her understanding that the police's directions came from the college President's office.
