Ben Shapiro was born in 1984, in Burbank, Calif. Brought up in the home of two Reagan Republicans, he quickly developed into a reasoned political thinker and a powerful writer.  

He entered UCLA at the age of 16 and is majoring in political science.

His controversial columns in the UCLA Daily Bruin have been reprinted on many major web sites, and he has been a guest on The Larry Elder Show, The Al Rantel Show and the TV program Judicial Watch.
As a staunch conservative on the modern politically correct campus, Shapiro faces the political liberals head-on. From exposing the leftist tilt of the professors on campuses to addressing the conflict in the Middle East, Shapiro's approach always draws a hailstorm of response.
