UC Berkeley will be offering counseling to students and faculty who get traumatized by Ben Shapiro’s upcoming speech.
I’m not making that up.
This is the webpage where UC Berkeley mentions the counseling:
http://news.berkeley.edu/campus-update-on-ben-shapiro-event/
And this is the internet archive of that webpage, in case the original ever gets taken down:
It says:
Ben Shapiro visit: Campus details logistics and resources
Thursday, Sept. 7, 2017
In advance of talk show host Ben Shapiro’s appearance next Thursday, Sept. 14, at UC Berkeley…
Support and counseling services for students, staff and faculty
We are deeply concerned about the impact some speakers may have on individuals’ sense of safety and belonging. No one should be made to feel threatened or harassed simply because of who they are or for what they believe. For that reason, the following support services are being offered and encouraged:
Student support services
Employee (faculty and staff) support services
In case you’re wondering what all the hoopla is about, here is a recent speech that Shapiro gave at UC Santa Barbara. Skip to 8:22 for the beginning of his speech:

I don’t know if that speech is typical of what Shapiro talks about, but it was the first one that showed up when I did this search at YouTube, where many of his other speeches can be viewed:

I think this should only be made available to those who actually *attend* the speech for its entire duration, not to those supposedly “traumatized” that he is allowed to speak at all.
what did he say ???
“While youre here in college, why don’t you study and take exams/tests” ???
Post Traumatic Ben Shapiro..?
I think they need to be institutionalized.
Poor little communist snowflakes. No clue.
oh the poor little fairy wimps!
they get “traumatized” just from hearing a speaker discuss the US Constitution a little bit
?????????????????????
my, my ... how the commie-IslamoNazi Leftists have indoctrinated....and sissified our youth
no wonder the kiddies mostly take Ancient Lesbian Dancing Appreciation...........................and then move back into their Mama’s basements after “graduating” these expensive kindergartens
I see a business opportunity selling T-Shirts saying, “I survived the Ben Shapiro Lecture”
A shame those claiming to be traumatized that Ben Shapiro is allowed to speak at all can't be summarily expelled.
PTBS? Great screening attribute for job interviews.
Whenever you hear that a university is short of funds or needing to raise tuition fees, remember that they spend money on crap like this.
What a bunch of babies.
Because NOTHING is more terrifying than a 5’ 4” Jew with a nasally voice
No. I don't suppose you would know.
Shapiro talks about things like how Abortion is wrong.
And how faggot marriage is wrong.
And how Universal Health Care is wrong.
And how recreational drug use is wrong.
If true, those people should not be in college. They should return to kindergarten and start over.
Okay, not sure what happened there with that image. Perhaps it was too big or something.
Poor little tender college kids did the mean old Ben Sahpiro trigger bed wetting or panty soiling?
Before you all get carried away remember
I will never vote for Donald Trump

People saying nice things about Ben may find themselves in violation of FR PC.
