What Do You Get for $42K?

For the bargain price of $42,000 a year, you can have classes for a college degree, room, board, and various activities, including how to masturbate.

Whoops.  Sorry.  Didn't mean to catch you off guard there.  Then again, I imagine that some folks at the Ford Memorial Chapel at Allegheny College would have been caught off guard had they wandered in to find a woman offering options for masturbation other than the awkward, claw-like motion a woman must use to get her fingers inside her vagina.

Friends, you can't make this stuff up.  Read the full story here.

I have to be honest.  I have not been blogging much lately because of an avalanche of other activities, responsibilities, and writing projects.  I am not sure why I am posting on this topic.  I supposed it is because a Christian colleague shared it with me, and I went up in flames.

Forty-two thousand dollars a year!  Even if I were not a Christian, I would yank my child out of that school so fast while demanding a refund it would make the bursar's head spin.  I am all for academic freedom when it comes to research, but give me a break.  Someone who is in the process of obtaining an undergraduate degree needs to spend fees on being taught how to masturbate?  How shall I rant?  Let me count the ways.

And then there is the fact that this event was held in the school's chapel.  In addition to selling inside the chapel hats, t-shirts, and buttons with the program's name, "I Heart the Female Orgasm," the chaplain said that, "she saw nothing wrong with the event, and hoped students would feel comfortable attending a religious service there later."

My question is why keep up any pretense?  What a bunch of wimps.  They should have the courage to say, "F-Christians and the God they worship," dip them in wax, and light their dinner parties with human torches, Nero-style.  That would at least be more honest.

Then again, I am the reactionary.  I am the one making mountains out of mole hills.  I am the conspiracy theorist who says that such a godforsaken, hedonistic, travesty of an academic activity could have been predicted given the ever more open embrace and teaching of perversion in our secondary schools.  I am the nut job to question how a parent could in good conscience bless a child's academic pursuits at such a place.

Yeah, right.
