Conservative students push for Ben Shapiro visit after rejection by Whitworth-less University student government

Conservative students are fighting to bring Ben Shapiro to Whitworth University and accusing campus leaders of censorship, mirroring an earlier controversy at Gonzaga University.
Whitworth’s student government narrowly voted March 13 to block Shapiro – a conservative political commentator loathed by progressives as well as members of the alt-right – from speaking on campus.
A day earlier, Gonzaga’s College Republicans chapter announced Shapiro’s bookers had canceled a speaking engagement at their school, even though members of the club had spent weeks persuading administrators to reverse course and allow the event.
An online petition pressuring Whitworth leaders to host Shapiro passed the 2,500-signature mark Tuesday. It’s been circulated by the Whitworth chapter of Young Americans for Freedom, a branch of the conservative Young America’s Foundation, which has served as Shapiro’s booking agency.
“We hold freedom of speech in very high regard, and we believe that ideas should be challenged,” said Madison Habersetzer, a Whitworth senior who chaired the school’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter last year.
“This is much bigger, for us, than just having one speaker on campus or not,” she said. “This is a real concern about who’s going to be policing what ideas we hear on campus.”
