Last October, this blog reported on Dennis Prager and Adam
Carolla’s documentary No Safe Spaces. BookwormRoom blogged her review a couple of days ago:
. . .every American ought to see
this movie. The reality is that only conservatives who are already worried
about the death of free speech in America will attend it. On the Left, they’re
smugly happy with their increasing ability, both on campuses and in corporate
America, to shout down and censor anything they don’t like. And in the vast
middle, the Americans who need to start to care, people probably aren’t even
aware that the movie is playing.
. . .
Carolla and Prager are the two
pillars anchoring the No Safe Spaces. Carolla presents himself as a
working class yob and comic (and also America’s most popular podcaster) who has
a visceral belief that we are destroying our youth by mentally coddling them
and that the answer is free speech for them and for everyone. Prager is the
Jewish intellectual, the college educated man who spent time in the Soviet
Union during the heyday of its totalitarianism. Prager too is a free speech
fanatic. Both men are agreed (rightly) that free speech — true free speech, not
the European or Canadian simulacrums — is a uniquely American attribute and
that its destruction is the first step on the road to totalitarianism.
