Ohio State offers ‘safe space’ for students scared of Ben Shapiro’s ‘rhetoric’

Gotta watch the video on the website. Exactly what some of us have been saying.

https://www.nbc4i.com/news/local-new...medium=twitter

Excerpt:

Controversial conservative commentator Ben Shapiro is scheduled to speak at Ohio State University Tuesday evening. The former editor at Breitbart was invited to appear by the OSU Chapter of Young Americans for Freedom.

Shapiro’s appearances at some other college campuses have prompted protests. There are fliers posted around campus calling for protests at OSU but the university “does not anticipate a substantial risk to public safety or broad disruption of the university’s business,” according to a statement issued by a university spokesman.

Elle Lamb, president of the group hosting the event, says the goal of Shapiro’s appearance is to allow students to hear a side of conservative thought that they are not normally exposed to.

“You have a lot of liberal and leftists students out there who like to believe in just very surface thought...and he prods them to go deeper into what they believe and that makes them uncomfortable and they don’t like that,” Lamb said. “We want students to debate and talk and bringing Ben Shapiro is a great way to get people on campus to start talking about, what are the different viewpoints and what conservative ideas are.”
