No Safe Spaces proposes that The First Amendment and the very idea of free speech are under attack in America today. A growing number of Americans don't believe you have the right to speak your mind if what you have to say might offend someone, somewhere. They advocate for "safe spaces" in which people won't be offended by ideas they may find troubling. But is that what America is about?Â
In No Safe Spaces, comedian and podcast king Adam Carolla and radio talk show host Dennis Prager travel the country, talking to experts and advocates on the left and right, tour college campuses and examine their own upbringings to try to understand what is happening in America today and what free speech in this country should look (and sound) like.
Dennis Prager is a New York Times bestselling author (most recently of "The Rational Bible: Genesis") a syndicated columnist and a nationally syndicated radio talk show host heard on more than 130 stations in America and internationally on the internet. He has lectured on all seven continents.
