Why even bother calling this a Catholic school?

Jesuit university students work for abortion group as part of ‘catcalling’ course

Escorts for people who get ‘harassed as they go in’ for abortions

A new course at Saint Louis University will teach students about efforts to make catcalling a crime and how public streets are shaped by white privilege, feminism, imperialism and intersectionality.

As part of the urban Catholic university’s required volunteer program, two students in the seven-student course are helping women walk into abortion clinics because it’s related to concepts in the course, known as “Politics of the Street.”

The syllabus for the Women’s and Gender Studies course says the streets are a violent place shaped by societal factors, which are often not seen by those with “privilege.”

“As walkers and users of public urban space, it is easy to overlook the shaping influence of the street, especially if we hold a place of privilege within society,” it reads. “Yet, the streets are not innocent: they disseminate—if quietly—the values of our culture, the laws of our institutions, and the perceptions and beliefs of individual users.”

In an interview with The College Fix, course instructor Candis Bond said its topic came out of her own research and experiences living in different cities and seeing how street interactions differed in each.

“Basically, the idea is that the streets are public space [and] are not neutral. So, they are political constructs in the sense that there are different institutions or social structures that influence the physical shape of our streets,” she said.

The first eight weeks of the course, as the syllabus outlines, examines societal influences on public streets and how they shape identity. The next four weeks are dedicating to catcalling, which Bond defined as “whistling or saying something unwanted” toward a woman on the street. The final four weeks are dedicated to urban policing and riots.
