for their planned event on political correctness on college campuses. The content of their event caused concern among the school's bigwigs.

This is part comical, part scary.

quote:

A funny thing happened to some right-leaning filmmakers trying to make their case that conservatives aren’t welcome on college campuses: They weren’t allowed on a college campus.

At least that’s according to a letter that their lawyers fired off to California State University, Northridge in southern California.

Comedian Adam Carolla and radio host Dennis Prager are touring the nation’s universities while making their documentary film, No Safe Spaces, and their first stop, scheduled at CSUN, was canceled, according to lawyers, because the content of a talk they were to give was deemed politically incorrect.

The presentation was supposed to consist of Carolla interviewing Prager at the Campus Theater on Dec. 1. The topic was rather vague, but it invariably was to focus on the duo’s assertion that the political left has a stranglehold on most colleges, and it was to be filmed so that some portions would have presumably ended up in No Safe Spaces.

But while negotiating for the use of the venue, the filmmakers, Justin Folk and R.J. Moeller, say they were informed that “people higher up the food chain” at CSUN weren’t happy about the “content” of the planned presentation, and their lawyers say laws may have been broken

Prager came on and they discussed it at length on one of the podcasts last week.

Just par for the course these days at bastions of liberalism otherwise known as colleges.

Read Carolla's In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks.

It's a great read on the john, and very clearly lays out the left's concerted war on masculinity. I think it came out during Barry's first term, but it's pretty prescient, and rather funny.

They've toured together before and have some talks available on iTunes. They have more in common than you'd think.

The topic of Prager's speech was something to the effect of questioning the American university's purpose and vitality in the future. Not surprised that a university would ax a speech about how useless it is.

frick em. Prager is the shite.

Prager is known as one of the best "thinkers" that we have.

He might be a comedian, but Adam Carolla is one of the smartest people in pop culture and routinely has very logical and well thought out opinions on the society we live in while mixing in dick jokes.

Just another routine example of "tolerance" by liberal progressives.

I agree. His "President Me" is a also a hoot.

Oh I know, I just meant they have shockingly different styles and personalities. Prager is Jewish, very professional and an academic. Carolla is an outspoken atheist and comic with dick jokes

Kind of, Carolla is a comedian first but he is very pragmatic.

Not really. They hang out all the time and Prager is on his podcast every other month. They agree 95% of the time. Adam Carolla openly loves the Jews and finds their company preferable.
