(16,410 posts)I was introduced to him when a certain hard-core Libertarian relative enthusiastically gave my 17-year-old daughter a copy of Ben's then-new first book, Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth, for her birthday. She wasn't particularly interested, thank goodness, but I wanted to see what Shapiro's premise was and why this relative was so enamoured of him.
After reading the first 20 pages or so, I closed the book and went to my girl's room. I told her about what I'd read, and she made a face and said "donate it." I couldn't bring myself to spread his poison, though, so I tore each page out and put it in the shredder, where it belonged.
Ben and I lasted only as long as it took me to read those 20 pages (and I'm not sure how I got that far before gagging). It was one of the happiest breakups of my life.

I love how miserable these aholes get by this movie. Makes my experience even better when I eventually watch it.
