On the plus side, Ben Shapiro wasn’t banned from speaking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison like he was at DePaul University, where multiple security guards were posted to ensure he didn’t step on campus and pose a danger to the fragile creatures preserved inside.
Security was a little lighter at UW-Michigan, despite advance notice that several groups would be protesting his defense of free speech.
Apparently I'm being protested tonight at UW-Madison by one white supremacist group and two Black Lives Matters groups. Sounds about right.

The intrepid administrators at UW-Madison have assigned 3 officers — yes, 3 — for a crowd of over 500, including 3 protest groups.

Maybe they should borrow some manpower from Chicago – didn't they have 30 unnecessary officers yesterday?

The show did go on, but people filing in to the auditorium were greeted by this NSFW chant. Maybe it’s reflexive naiveté on our part, but would it hurt to tone down the obscenities, at least around the sleepy looking kids who don’t seem to have any idea why they’re there?
Leftist snowflakes melting down at @UWMadison, using their free speech to protest, ironically, a lecture on free speech. @YAF @BenShapiro pic.twitter.com/Kt106SqUSh

Slim chance that child was able to nap inside. By the looks of this next photo, mom brought the kids along to help take over the stage from the invited speaker. Nice.
Leftists attempt to wrest control of the podium from @benshapiro, he writes his response on the chalkboard. #onlyatYAF pic.twitter.com/r3rM9G4DrK

Shame on @UWMadison security for not removing these riot level protestors. They would be GONE had a liberal been speaking. #ShameOnUW https://t.co/pNEnJweIwg
