(VIDEO) UW-Madison Lets Protesters Shout Throughout Shapiro Speech

In 2016, UW-Madison YAF hosted Ben Shapiro, but the school often failed to stop protesters from shouting throughout his speech.  According to the student newspaper, “Shouts escalated on both sides throughout the evening, with protesters repeatedly interrupting Shapiro’s speech yelling the words ‘shame’ and ‘safety,’ and some non-protesting audience members countering with ‘decency’ or yelling at the protesters to ‘shut up’ and ‘get out’. Tensions came to a head when protesters formed a line in front of the stage, with UW Police Department officers standing nearby, and repeated their ‘safety’ chant.”
