Senator wonders if university’s $18k “Sex Week” is for porn careers
We should be teaching these children what is important to learn so they can get jobs….
I don’t know what jobs they plan on getting if they’re having seminars on oral sex and bondage. I don’t see how that will help someone in their professional career – unless they plan on becoming a porn star….
They’ve been trying to say it’s about safety and birth control…. These kids are supposed to be some of the smartest kids out there – and they don’t know where to buy condoms?…
The university always cries poor-mouth, that they don’t have any money and yet they seem to have plenty of money to do this kind of stuff….
They say it’s all about diversity….
Well, perversity does not make diversity just because it’s at the university.
~ Tennessee State Sen. Stacey Campfield (pictured), reacting to the news that the University of Tennessee would hold a “Sex Week” in April, complete with seminars on “getting laid” and workshops on oral sex, to the tune of over $18,000, as quoted by Todd Starnes, Fox News Radio, March 20
The U of T has since pulled funding, forcing the “student-led event… to find $11,145 in additional funding. The university will continue to let the group use $6,700 in student fees.”

“Perversity’? What ‘perversity?
This homophobic clown doesn’t want events being conducted where ‘…the idea is to promote sexual health (there’s free HIV testing), to increase awareness of sexual assault on campus and to discuss sexual identity and gender roles.’
Can’t have well educated young adults having anything to do with that sex stuff now can we.
I am all for events that aim to reduce STDs and unplanned pregnancy among the student body.
“How to get laid” is not such an event.
What passes for education is a joke. The Senator’s comments were not only instructive but entertaining as well.
Reality, how did you come to the conclusion that this Senator is homophobic. It could not be from these comments.
The way to reduce STDs and unplanned pregnancy is to practice abstinence until marriage. Furthermore, these students have paid good money to go to university – they should concentrate on their studies, not learning how they can distract their classmates.
How to get Abortion Clients 101
Huh?
Reality, do you really need a class to figure this stuff out? Besides, people have vastly different tastes when it comes to those things. Those classes are not about teaching people to have more fulfilling sex lives like engineering classes are about teaching people to build better machines, you and I can put aside rhetoric, we both know it’s about tearing down standards and reinforcing a different cultural norm.
Kelsey,
Agreed.
Also the drinking goes hand in hand with all of that behavior. Wondering when that study will come out.
Stay classy, University of Tennessee.
Sex week is for education? Really?
(Raises hand respectfully) “Mr. Jackson? Can you explain again what it is I’m supposed to put in my mouth for this oral sex to work properly? I’m a little confused.”
LOL!
Education. Yeah, right. Nope, no trolling for future Planned Parenthood clients there, no sir.
Reality, HIV testing and sexual health is one thing, but “how to get laid” and seminars on oral sex are not education. A lesbian bondage expert on the discussion panel? Please, tell me how this will help anyone’s future career. It’s just ridiculous, childish behavior aimed at getting attention and titillating the frat boys.
One these kids graduate into the real world they’ll realize that college is better spent actually preparing for a career than getting laid and learning about bondage.
“Reality, how did you come to the conclusion that this Senator is homophobic. It could not be from these comments.”
It almost certainly had nothing to do with these comments, he probably just looked up the Senator’s Wikipedia page after seeing this quote.

I believe the senators primary objection is to the appropriateness of state funded Universities using tax dollars to teach semen-arse on how to perform oral and anal sex.

Feds Spend $1.5 Million to Study Why Female Homosexuals Are Obese
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/feds-spend-15-million-study-why-lesbians-are-fat
(CNSNews.com) – The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $1.5 million to study biological and social factors for why “three-quarters” of female homosexuals are obese and why homosexual males are not, calling it an issue of “high public-health significance.”
“It is now well-established that women of minority sexual orientation [female homosexuals] are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic.”
[‘obesity epidemic’?!?! Are the researchers suggesting that ’swine flu’ causes obesity?]
[Question: Why do sumo wrestler shave their legs? Answer: They do not want people to think they are lesbians? {think Chas Bono}]
“In stark contrast, among men, heterosexual males have nearly double the risk of obesity compared to homosexual males.”
[Question: Why do some many feministas try so hard to look like fat heterosexual males? Answer: 1. They do not want people to confuse them with male homosexuals. 2. They want to provide shade to their partners in the summer and warmth in the winter.]
How does a sub-culture, which makes up less than 3% of the population, being obese constitute a ‘high public health significance’?
Addressing the problem of obseity in heterosexual males would would be a wiser of investment of federal tax dollars. Determining why homosexual males have double the probability to be the ideal weight for their height’ might provide some usefull data. Mabye it’s a result of all those enemas.
Most people, regardless of their gender or their sexual preference, are obese because they eat too much of the wrong kind of foods and do not have enough physical activity. [Researchers at NIH could just follow Rosie O’Donnell and Raisehell Madcoww around and record their eating and exercise habits.]
Moochelle, who do I contact at the NIH to give the address where they can send my check for 1.5 million dollar
Well I am from TN and the senator may enjoy his quirky ways but he speaks truth and time always ends up proving he is right. But Planned Parenthood and ACLU and the libs hate him cause he tells it like it is.
Just because someone supports traditional marriage does not make them homophobic. Reality, GET HELP. They have medication for you and your ilk now.
So proud to be from TN. If my kids were in Knoxville right now, I’d pull them out so fast and demand a refund. What a bunch of nastiness all dressed up under the guise of education.
The oral sex seminar is entitled “How many licks does it take?” REALLY? They could take all that money they were planning on paying the bondage expert and all those hours it would take to put on that shameful display and go run a soup kitchen downtown.
What a bunch of FREAKS.
I really don’t envy anyone who attends or teaches at a public university in the Bible Belt. The experience must be something akin to clinging to a tiny speck of sanity in a sea of backwater religiosity.
There she is!!!! Hey Joan!! I am taking a moment from my joy over the sense they just made in North Dakota to remind you how much we southerners (especially Tennesseans) LOVE our backwater. Please stay out!
I guess if you’re not hip to the freaky, nasty, gutter way of life, you just aren’t sane. Seriously, joan, you have GOT to be one of the most miserable people I see on the internet.
YEAH North Dakota!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stacey represents Knoxville, home of UT and I believe he graduated from there. Note the orange tie.
i’m 12 and what is this?
“I guess if you’re not hip to the freaky, nasty, gutter way of life, you just aren’t sane.”
Actually, anyone who is into the “gutter way of life” would probably be better served by living in one of your lovely southern Bible Belt states, with their much higher rates of teen pregnancy, disease, poverty, etc.
Stacey Campfield might be the dumbest person elected to federal office in the country.
That’s really all I have to say about that.
I don’t know about what was and wasn’t being funded to have much of an opinion here…I just think in general he’s an idiot.
That’s it.
Thanks.
You’re right Tyler, not from these comments.
Not from wikipedia either. From numerous media reports.
“you and I can put aside rhetoric, we both know it’s about tearing down standards and reinforcing a different cultural norm” – or perhaps we could put aside rhetoric and acknowledge that it isn’t about ‘tearing down standard’, its about dealing with matters which may not meet your standards but do others.”Cultural norm’ is a fluid landscape.
“cause he tells it like it is” – no, he tells it how you want to hear it.
Okay, these aren’t children, people in university aren’t that much younger than me. It’s rather silly to overstate it like that, most of the people who are in university are legal adults, most of whom are having sex.
I think “how to get laid” is a stupid thing to teach, but people do need to learn about safe sex.
Because having standards is REPRESSIVE.
You’re much more liberated after you’re well-versed in bondage and how to get laid, not to mention, the “how many licks” meme. (Clever–right from Lil’ Kim, who we all know is a paragon of a mature, functional woman)
And the final liberation, boys and girls??? The abortion! It could be the best thing that ever happened to you!
Joan, if you were a mother, you might understand that the college years are really important. How to exegete Shakespeare? Yes. Worth my time as a student and consumer. How to wrangle those partial differential equations? Sure, I’ll support that. But to expose turn daughter and sons to a way of life that brings nothing but disease, heartbreak, and death? I’ll pass. YOU can choose to put on your vagina costume and dance around in the gutter all you want. It seems to suit you.
“Because having standards is REPRESSIVE.” – no. Everyone has standards, they vary. ‘Standards’ are only repressive if forced upon one by another.
“You’re much more liberated after you’re well-versed in bondage” – for those who wish to attend that may well be the case. For everyone else, meh.
“And the final liberation, boys and girls??? The abortion!” – oo oo, which day and time is the seminar on abortion? Please tell me.
“But to expose turn daughter and sons to a way of life that brings nothing but disease, heartbreak, and death” – bzzt, wrong answer.
“YOU can choose to put on your vagina costume and dance around in the gutter all you want.” – what? Wait, you’re actually saying that someone can do what they want to do rather than what you believe they should?
”vagina costume”
I thought we were all clear that they’re actually vulva costumes. :)
Clearly, I need my own Sex Week. That’ll make my husband happy. :)
If college students want a class about sex, make them pay tuition for it. Like all the other classes that teach you things. Personally, I think a class on biology is more prudent, specifically the reproduction of placental mammals.
Everybody knows this is just a ploy to get abortion customers.
Wait, you’re actually saying that someone can do what they want to do rather than what you believe they should?
Like using deadly force if they are assaulted while standing on a sidewalk.
I’d pull them out so fast and demand a refund.
Hopefully some parents will do this.
Oh brother. I’m in shock that the idea for this “class” didn’t originate in Los Angeles or San Francisco.
The idea that these events teach “sexual health” with their condom-pushing is a joke. According to the Indiana University National Sex Study (and others), the demographic with the highest rate of condom use in the country is African-Americans. That seems to be working out well for them!
Plus, if you have managed to reach adulthood and still need “education” on sexuality, then you have far, far bigger problems. Also, if you actually need to go to a seminar to learn sex tips, then you’re doing it wrong.
There is no such thing as “safe sex.”
Since children have been learning about condoms etc. since elementary school you would think they would have this stuff figured out by college.

jb,
If the students are ‘adults’, who have graduated from government high schools, then what could they possibly NOT know about ‘sex’… safe or otherwise?!?!
The sexperts timing is all off.
If the whores that sponsored this event were really interested in ‘safe sex’ they would have held it before ‘spring break’, not after.
[As always I use the term ‘whore’ in a non-gender specific way.]
Reality: “Wait, you’re actually saying that someone can do what they want to do rather than what you believe they should?”
On their own dime, yeah. So I’m glad UT is pulling university funding from this. Want your raunch-fest? Pony up.

Ex,
Determining who is the dumbest person elected to a federal office would be an arduous process the field is so large, but Stacey Campfield has not yet been elected to a federal office.
Maxine Waters and Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Joe Biden and bo/bs/mr. bo-jangles/the obamateur have extinquished themselves when it comes to malfeasance, incompetence and folly. Their individual and collective stupidity is so extreme it would be difficult to quantify.
Kermit Gosnell might be an appropriate standard to measure them by.
Yesterday mr. bo-jangles compared the Israeli/Palestinian conflict to U. S./Canada relations.
I did not know the Canucks have been lobbing rockets into U.S. border cities.
I must have missed those news accounts of Canadians detonating suicide vests on buses, trains and ferries in the States.
Some how it escaped my notice that American tanks, helicopters, fighter jets and yes armed predator drones were retaliating against suspected terrorist strongholds located next to child care centers in Canadian cities.
I don’t recall any Canadian leaders calling for the complete destruction and anihilation of the Yanks.
New York City health officials are urging some men to get vaccinated against meningitis amid an outbreak that has sickened 22 New Yorkers and killed seven.
The dangerous strain of bacterial meningitis appears to be spreading through sexual encounters between men who meet through websites or smartphone apps, or at bars or parties, according to the City’s health department. More than half of the infected men have had HIV, a virus that attacks the immune system making infections more likely and more severe.
[Not sure if this should be considered a ‘problem’ or a ‘solution’. I only know it is not relevant to me. I am not advocating a public policy of eliminating stupid people. I merely recommend removing the ‘warning’ lables from consumer products and allowing natural selection to exercise it’s choice. I am banking on natural selection to prefer progressive humanists by a considerable margin.]
‘safe sex’!?!?!
Might want to re-think that concept in light of present epidemologcial realities.
How large an in-animate or animate object can be inserted in a human rectum and it still be considered ‘safe’ or even ‘sex’?
If the gerbil does not consent then would it still be considered cruelty to animals?
There was a story in an Australian newspaper about a man who had been charged with having sex with a pig. [A real honest to goodness hog, not a male chauvinist.]Officials would not release the name of the accused man due to some vagary with the Aussie legal system, but Australian journalists did not hesitate to reveal the identity of the pig as one ‘Michael Jackson’. No word on the gender of the pig.
The pig died.
Doesn’t sound like that sex was safe.
At least not for the pig.
Is it possible to contract meningitis from having coitus with a pig?
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Wouldn’t want to be imposing societal standards on a pig.
Teaching sexual skills could be helpful if “wife” can be considered — as it should be — a legitimate career. Traditionalist Phyllis Schlafly has written about what a woman can do for a man through sexual skills: “motivate him, inspire him, encourage him, teach him, restrain him, and reward him.” She writes about “developing” skills to do these things.
It is not necessary to be in any way liberal to believe women can do well by developing sexual skills.
Instead of pushing condoms, push alternative sexual expressions that are both unlikely to impregnate and unlikely to transmit STDs.
” If the students are ‘adults’, who have graduated from government high schools, then what could they possibly NOT know about ‘sex’… safe or otherwise?!?!
The sexperts timing is all off.”
Ya never know. If they came from abstinence-only programs then the “children” might not know too much about STDs and such. I doubt it though. I think the whole thing sounds rather stupid in my opinion. Shouldn’t be government funded but if the student body wants to find funds for it somehow, they can have fun with all that.
I don’t get that, Jack. Kids taught “abstinence-only” are warned one of the major reasons for it are STDs.
How do other programs teach it to more seriously? You don’t want them to learn through experience in having them, do you? ;)
Universities are such bubbles, I’m so glad I escaped with my health and sanity intact (barely), and actually learned how to work somewhere else.
