Adam Carolla and Dennis Prager Join Forces to Make Film About College Campus Craziness and Free Speech

The duo will travel to college campuses nationwide to expose the 'hysteria and lunacy' taking place there.

Comedian Adam Carolla (from The Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel) and Dennis Prager (Prager University founder and author) are teaming up to make a film that “exposes the hysteria and lunacy taking place at universities.” Carolla and Prager are from completely different backgrounds, but on one issue they agree: There’s an attack on excellence at college campuses nationwide — and it’s coming from the Left.

The crowd-funded film No Safe Spaces will follow Carolla and Prager as they travel to universities and take questions from students about free speech and other ideas. On their website, No Safe Spaces, Carolla and Prager describe a road trip that “will include trigger warnings, real social justice warriors, and maybe even some tailgating.” Hollywood won’t make the film, they said, so they’re asking for help and giving out some prizes in return — like Carolla or Prager following donors on Twitter, a digital download of the film, time spent with one of them or even screen credit.

In an interview with The Stream, Prager said the problem on campuses in a nutshell is that universities have gone from liberal to leftist. Liberal universities, he explained, knew that Shakespeare was the greatest playwright in the English language. They were open-minded and embraced Western ideals like striving for the best. But the University of Pennsylvania’s English department removed Shakespeare’s picture. Prager surmised that it was because he was a “dead white guy.”

In its place, the college hung a picture of a relatively-unknown black woman. “There are separate graduations for black students and separate housing for black students,” said Prager. “Now they only see black, white, male, female.”

College campuses are also places for infantilization. “It’s unbelievable. If you don’t agree with a speaker on campus, you can retreat to a safe space with Play-Doh, stuffed animals, hot chocolate and pacifiers,” said Prager. “That’s not an exaggeration.”

The change from liberalism is rooted in the Left. “It’s an anti-liberal leftism. It’s emotion. They substitute emotion for intellect. It’s all based on ‘How do you feel?’” Prager described it as a “feeling-spaced universe.” “Instead of saying ‘Grow up,’ the Left’s answer is ‘Here, have some hot chocolate.’” This creates narcissism, said Prager, where “how I feel is all that matters.”

Prager hopes they reach everyone — liberal and conservative — with the film. “People are unaware – the great majority of people are not aware of the moral, intellectual crisis on campuses,” he said. “This is a tremendous opportunity [to warn young people] of how they’re being manipulated.” Prager said of those who have seen Prager University videos explaining some of these very issues, the most common response is, “Why didn’t anybody ever tell me this?”
