Safe Spaces for Me But Not for Thee

The battleground where this spectacle plays out is the angry young ladies' "Safe space." In a way that only the leftist mind can rationalize, that safe space is no safe space for someone of differing views.

If you don't submit to the new orthodoxy, you're not permitted a safe space.

Trigger warnings, microaggression, snowflakes, and, above all, safe spaces, which this film defines as "A place intended to be free of bias, conflict, criticism or potentially threatening actions, ideas, or conversations."

That's a theme of No Safe Spaces: You have the right to remain SILENT. Like Adam, Dennis recalls a formative moment from his youth.

No Safe Spaces captures marvelously the climate of left-wing prejudice and fanaticism.

The two most riveting cases profiled in No Safe Spaces are outright chilling: Lindsay Shepherd of Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada, who ran afoul of her university's totalitarian codes, and Bret Weinstein of Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, who disobeyed an edict by campus racists banning whites one particularly surreal day.

Better, create a safe space to show it at the campus near you.
