U of Colorado Student: Sleazy Sociology 101
Student says schools should not sanction their degradation.
One university recently promoted an event at which students were recruit to make porn.
A graduate student recently derided the Bacchanalia that his school’s “Sex Week” had come.
Now, University of Colorado – Denver student Susannah Williams shares her thoughts about the psychic degradation that occurred in her sociology class.
Through a computer snafu, I was dropped from classes that I originally wanted to take for my Sociology major, and ending up stuck with classes that were still open. The class in question was called Sociology of Human Sexuality. The title should have been the first clue. But encased in University setting in a department that prides itself in empirical research, I just didn’t pick up on it.
Our textbook for the class is a title called “Constructing Sexualities,” by Suzanne LaFont. The very first part of the very first sentence on the first page of the very first chapter of the textbook went something like this: “The vibrator, one of the first electrical appliances, was developed in the 1880’s ….”
That was my very first inkling I was in trouble.
As the course went on, the content got worse. The textbook began questioning if people had true gender identities (p. 223- 226); equated our sex lives to that of animals with erotic descriptions of mounting techniques (p. 41-65); postulated children having sex naturally as young as five years old in ethnographies that border on kiddie-porn (p. 72-81); and proposed thought on external homosexual relationships within a marriage setting (p. 96-102).
…Call me old fashioned. Call me intolerant. But my experience in college this semester felt like a dirty, grimy secret…one that was slowly pulling me down, suffocating me in this dark, immoral ooze. I decided I could not, in good conscience, stay quiet about it. I had to speak up.
Rather than offering students an intelligent, empirical study of human sexuality, my class seemed designed to indoctrinate students—endorsing politically correct ideas about gender, tearing down traditional morals, and giving a stamp of approval to harmful sexual behavior.
If academic leaders continually insist that we change and think in such subhuman terms, then I must insist that we fight back. After all, exposing a college’s dirty little secret is the only thing that will bring it into the light, and force colleges to stop offering “Pornography 101” in the classroom.
The problem with these types of academically enforced sexual agendas is that they can confuse and damage unsuspecting young people. The rightful charge of an academic institution is to watch over young students, not sanction their degradation.

The inmates are absolutely running the asylum in CO. And more than likely she paid several hundred dollars per credit hour for this “course”.
