Ben Shapiro to Kick Off YAF Campus Lecture Tour at Yale on October 7

With campuses still smoldering from the spring’s unrest and leftists scrambling to indoctrinate the rising generation as students return for the fall semester, Young America’s Foundation’s (YAF) largest-in-the-nation campus lecture program is ready to break up the left’s monopoly on ideas and bring truth and sanity back to American colleges and universities.

This semester, YAF has again partnered with Ben Shapiro to bring a dose of facts and reality to four campuses in desperate need of true intellectual diversity. On October 7 — the anniversary of Hamas barbarians’ attack on Israel — Shapiro will speak at Yale University. Shapiro will then head to UCLA for a lecture on October 21, Cornell University on October 28, and Vanderbilt University on November 13. Additional information on ticketing for each Shapiro lecture will be provided as it is confirmed at YAF.org/events.

As the exclusive organizer of Ben Shapiro’s campus lectures, YAF has ensured his conservative messages have been heard by students at more than 60 schools nationwide.

“The Left is obsessed with diversity unless it’s intellectual diversity and claims to support all kinds of ‘freedoms,’ except for the freedom of speech,” noted YAF Chief Communications Officer Spencer Brown. “With Ben Shapiro and YAF, students this fall will watch as the Left’s ideas are artfully dismantled and their sacred cows are sacrificed on the altar of objective truth. YAF is thrilled to continue its years-long partnership with Ben Shapiro and looks forward to ensuring students on these campuses finally have the chance to hear conservative ideas.”

In addition to Ben Shapiro’s fall campus lecture tour, Young America’s Foundation is bringing Michael Knowles to the University of California, Berkeley, Ian Haworth to the University of Iowa, Liz Wheeler to the University of Florida, Elisha Krauss to North Carolina State University, and YAF President Gov. Scott Walker to the University of Dallas in the coming weeks. A growing list of fall semester campus lectures is available at YAF.org/events.
