Shapiro is arguably the reigning champion of melting snowflakes. Concordia College formally disinvited him from speaking in 2017. He also confronted violent protests – as if Iran’s Supreme Leader was speaking – at Marquette University, the University of Minnesota, the University of Connecticut, and the University of Utah. After Shapiro was invited by a student group to speak at the University of California, Berkeley, administrators first told students they could not rent the venue, before finally being pressured to spend $600,000 on security.
