On March 20, Ben Shapiro came to Susquehanna University.
Ben Shapiro was supposed to be speaking about Free Speech, the funny thing is, he didn't.
Instead he spoke about how Trans-men and Trans-women are mentally unstable. (They aren't)
Instead he spoke about how women of color don't face any form of discrimination (They do)
Ben Shapiro spoke about topics he has NO idea what he is talking about.
On March 20, we are silent.
WE OUT is a movement created by the Black Student Union, peacefully and silently protesting the hateful words of Ben Shapiro
I am silent because no person should have to defend their skin color.
I am silent because no person should have to defend their gender.
I am silent because no person should have to defend their sexuality.
I am silent because no person should have to defend themselves for who they are
We are silent because we are tired of screaming.
We will not let some racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic bigot onto our campus and tell us who we are, what we are, and how we should feel.
Anna, a GSA member and one of the most Kind-hearted people I have ever met, spoke to me about her experience. She said "It was almost disappointing the amount of people who didn't participate. I expected more people to get involved because "WE OUT" is such a great movement. It was comforting however, the people who reached out to me who wanted to get involved."
