Additionally, the Twitter account for UNCG’s Physics Department limited who can see their tweets after our reporter questioned them about Merritt.Īfter boasting about his award, Merritt told Shapiro he “you sound like a Bozo, bro,” and then made a vulgar attack on the sex life of Shapiro and his wife which drew loud boos from the audience. North State Journal reached out to UNCG for comment but did not receive a response by publication time. The fellowship, which NSF says is the “oldest graduate fellowship of its kind,” spans five years, including three years of an annual stipend of $34,000 and a “cost of education allowance” of $12,000 paid to the institution.Ī search of the awardee list located four UNCG students but only one individual, Quentin Hosea Merritt, matched the questioner’s description and received an award in “Physics and Astronomy – Quantum Information Science” for 2022. One UNCG student who got to ask a question boasted about being a “mathematician” and “physicist” and recently winning a prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship award. Shapiro laughed and retorted that “F**k you is not an argument” and “no thanks, I’m not interested.” One or two hecklers shouted out during Shapiro’s remarks, with one person shouting “F**k you!” several times before being escorted out. He also took aim at President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court Justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson who had failed to answer the basic question of what a woman is, instead claiming she couldn’t define the term because she was not “a biologist.” “This Cartesian idea that you can be a woman in a man’s body because your gender is separate from your sex is, again, not supportable at any level,” Shapiro said. YAF says Daniels pushed back on “Celebrating Queer” a “counter event,” and instead called it “alternative programming.”ĭuring his remarks, Shapiro went on to tackle the issue of what is biological sex, the definition of sex, gender identity, and the idea gender is a social construct.

“So never say I’ve never done anything for the LGBTQIA plus, minus, divided by sign, percentage sign, ampersand, tilde community.”Īccording to YAF, Assistant Dean of Students Brian Daniels confirmed his office’s participation.

“Frankly, I think I deserve a lot of credit for getting free food and a live DJ for these folks,” said Shapiro, referring to the “Celebrating Queer” event. Information related to the event said its main co-hosts were the school’s Dean of Students Office, Campus Activities and Programs, and Office of Intercultural Engagement. Men who believe they are women are not real women.” Following the posting, some students at UNCG began a petition in an unsuccessful attempt to force the school to disband the YAF chapter.Īfter being introduced by Jadidi, Shapiro started by acknowledging the reaction to the statement “men cannot become women” and that officials at UNCG were holding a “comfort event” at the same time as his lecture called “Celebrating Queer.”Īfter YAF announced the Shapiro event, administrators at UNCG scheduled “Celebrating Queer” at a venue just blocks away. “A huge thank you to the leftists, who despite their efforts to kick us off campus, gave us free publicity and helped bring Ben Shapiro to UNCG,” Jadidi said in her remarks, referencing an incident in February of this year when UNCG’s YAF chapter came under attack for posting a photo of Shapiro with a quote.

UNCG YAF chapter founder and Chair Negar Jadidi gave some opening remarks, including noting their chapter was founded in the “fall of 2020 at the peak of COVID.” The 38-year-old Shapiro is currently the editor emeritus at The Daily Wire, which he co-founded with friend Jeremy Boreing, and has worked exclusively with YAF to give lectures on almost 60 college campuses to date. The event was hosted by UNC Greensboro’s (UNCG) chapter of the Young America’s Foundation (YAF) and is part of the organization’s Fred and Lynda Allen Lecture Series. GREENSBORO - Officials at UNC Greensboro estimated around 2,000 people lined up on April 11 to see conservative firebrand Ben Shapiro give a talk titled “Men Cannot Become Women” in his trademark “facts, not feelings” style. Ben Shapiro speaks at the UNC Greensboro YAF event on Monday, April 11, 2022.
