Book excerpt: WHAT MAKES A LIFELONG ACTIVIST, who has promoted diversity and social justice since childhood, contend that politically correct culture undermines inclusion and hurts the people it is intended to protect? In This book is NOT a safe space, Corinna Fales tells you-in a punchy, funny, personal way-how she realized that PC is a booby-trap. Corinna, whose parents' families were murdered by the Nazis, grew up at the first Historically Black College/University before desegregation. She visited migrant camps as a girl, went to jail for civil rights, and slept in her bathtub to avoid the National Guard's bullets when Newark exploded in 1967. In 1968, she protested the Vietnam War, was thrown into Cook County Jail, and became an unindicted co-conspirator of the Chicago Seven. To find out why this still active #MeToo woman thinks that PC is perilous, and discover what she proposes as a way forward, read between these covers.
