Ben Shapiro Slams UCLA As ‘A Woke Trash Heap’ Ahead Of Campus Speech

Before taking the stage to speak on campus at the University of California Los Angeles, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro blasted his alma mater on Monday, writing that it “has forgotten what it’s supposed to be.”

Shapiro will speak at a Young America’s Foundation event at UCLA on Monday night, a speech that has already generated controversy on campus and among the UCLA administration. In a thread posted to X on Monday, Shapiro slammed UCLA and its “scandals of plagiarism, DEI, riots, furries, BDSM, womxn, and ‘monsterf***ers.”

Tonight, I’ll take the stage at UCLA. Before I do, let’s review how my once-elite undergraduate alma mater became a woke trash heap drowning in scandals of plagiarism, DEI, riots, furries, BDSM, womxn, and “monsterf*ckers.” ????

“Back in March, I exposed the state of the formerly prestigious UCLA medical school, which now mandates your future surgeons learn about ‘Indigenous resistance,’ ‘white supremacy,’ ‘two-spirits,’ and whatever ‘womxn’ are,” Shapiro wrote. He added that shortly after he exposed the university’s focus on woke concepts for medical students, Daily Wire reporter Luke Rosiak revealed that UCLA Medical School’s head of diversity, equity, and inclusion “only published a single paper — her Ph.D. dissertation on how colleges should create larger DEI programs — and it was plagiarized.”

“You might think this is why nearly 50% of UCLA medical students are failing basic competency tests, but it’s not. Sources blame Jennifer Lucero, the dean of admissions, and her racist, anti-white and anti-Asian affirmative action policies,” Shapiro continued. “Not only did UCLA seemingly allow the dean of admissions to discriminate, an accounting professor named Gordon Klein was suspended because he wouldn’t. Klein rejected demands by students to show ‘leniency with black students’ in grading and had to subsequently sue the school.”

The Daily Wire host wrote that “walking across campus” at UCLA as a Jew was “impossible” just months ago as anti-Israel student protesters were allowed to block Jewish students from walking to their classes.

“These anti-American, anti-Western, anti-Jewish Hamas apologists were allowed to occupy main centers of campus, vandalize, and attack their peers and police for weeks while normal students saw their education go up in smoke as tuition prices skyrocket,” Shapiro added.

Meanwhile, a UCLA student magazine is upset “about the lack of acceptance towards the ‘furry’ community” and obsessed with “kink.”

“If you’re willing to pay $42,000 to $76,000 a year for you or your child to attend UCLA, they, too, can dose up on ‘freak fuel,’ become a ‘monsterf***er,’ and change their pronouns to ‘xey/xem’ while they ‘transmutate’ themselves. Money well spent,” Shapiro wrote.

“In the days leading up to my @YAF speech tonight, the Administration paid to properly educate these ‘freaks’ has instead spent their time trying to derail my speech. They shut down ticketing, disrupted security plans, and left attendance open to agitator sabotage,” he added. “Sad as it is to see what UCLA has become, I’m looking forward to seeing the men and women of LA tonight at my speech. In accordance with our Q&A policy, those who disagree with me may cut to the front of the Q&A line. So, perhaps we’ll see some womxn and furries, too.”
