University Apologizes For Sex Week Lectures

University Apologizes for Sex Week Lectures

"Sex Weeks" are not uncommon at colleges and universities, but the first-annual Sex Week at the University of New Mexico raised some eyebrows with its...shall we say "interesting" lecture topics. Topics included "How to be a Gentlemen AND Get Laid," and "Negotiating Successful Threesomes." Needless to say, not all students were okay with their activity fees going to such events.

While the Women's Resource Center at UNM defended the lectures, yesterday, university officials released a statement apologizing for the event, noting that some of the topics were "sensational and controversial."

The Women’s Resource Center and the Graduate and Professional Students Association were well intended in creating the workshops billed as “Sex Week.” However, the initiative did not have clear oversight or close enough supervision to prevent the inclusion of topics that are sensational and controversial. For that UNM apologizes.

While the university administration believes that it is important to offer opportunities for sex education to college students, it should be done in a careful and respectful manner. We will do a better job in the future of vetting and selecting programs offered through campus groups.

Sex education is important, especially on college campuses. Avoiding diseases and pregnancies are laudable actions. Sex promotion, on the other hand, is not the same thing and definitely should not be a featured event on campus. Kudos to UNM officials for recognizing that one is appropriate and one is not.

My comments: The godless have NO SHAME.
