Safe spaces aren't so safe ft. Christina Hoff Sommers

Safe spaces aren’t so safe ft. Christina Hoff Sommers

College campuses today have become hostile environments for the very ideas on which they were founded: reason, free expression, logic, and the open exchange of ideas.

Why? Because of safe spaces.

Don’t be fooled—safe spaces aren’t about protecting people. The safe space culture is simply a new way for those in power to exert control and enforce conformity of thought.

Instead of relying on debate and reason to persuade others, the radical Left now uses safe spaces to bully and intimidate those with different ideas.

It turns out safe spaces aren’t so safe after all. In fact, they’re quite dangerous.
