Colleges justify their outrageously inflated tuition and the absurd national tradition that their increasingly meaningless degrees are essential credentials for career success by promoting themselves as fonts of “higher learning.”
Hmmmm. Last week, “Queering Menstruation” was offered at Colgate University as part of the programming offered by the Center for Women’s Studies Brown Bag Series. “Menstruation can be exceptionally difficult for nonbinary and trans-masculine individuals because it’s a biological process that is often times associated with womanhood,” the website for the program stated. “…Queering menstruation an hopefully aid the building of more positive relationships between periods and trans and/or nonbinary people.”
Now there’s a credential for you. At the University of Louisville, where my father began his “higher learning, an “Anal Sex 101” workshop was offered to help the campus community “join the discussion about the anal sex culture and learn the truth about safe and pleasurable anal sex.” Later this month, Wright State University students are hosting Sex Week, which will include an “Art Sexpo,” “Condom Race,” and “Sex Deity” events. In this it is following the noble lead of that paragon of higher learning, Harvard College, which has offered a “Sex Week” for a while now, though Old Ivy’s is in November. Harvard’s is student run, and last year offered a “Fuck Fest” lingerie party at Radcliffe, a “Pussy Portraits” workshop to celebrate “genital diversity,” in which students could “paint any genitals you so please.”
There was also “Stripteasing 101″ session, a “Black Queer Student Mixer” and a “Show Me The Ropes” and a BDSM workshop (the “b” is for bondage, the “d” is for dominance, and the S and M stand for what you think they do.
Back to this year: On September 29, Tulane University will host a “Pillow Talk” event with Ina Kaur, a visiting professor in ceramics with a scholarly focus on “concealed, veiled, and obscured Gender and Ecological issues that continue to permeate contemporary society,” according to the university.
When will the realization permeate contemporary society that colleges and universities have lost their way and their sense of what their duty is to the society that relies on them?

Maybe prosecuting Oscar Wilde was a good idea.
I’d say never. Higher education has become a parody of itself. When my dad went to college you had to sign in at Mass at 7:30 a.m., wear a jacket and tie to every class and every meal, and observe quiet hours and lights out. When I went to college most students still had their eyes on the goal of being productive members of society and the courses were real courses you had to work on and learned something in, taught by real scholars. Now most students seem to be interested only in anarchy, sloth, hatred, sex, and mind-altering substances. There are as many courses in which you learn nothing of value as those you do. Most of the real scholars I knew then are DEAD now, the rest are retired, and they have been replaced by teachers marinated in political correctness, who eat, sleep and breathe leftist activism. I’m glad I never had any children to send to college, and we are thinking very hard about having my niece, the one child of almost-college age in this family right now, be a commuting “day student” so that she will not get swept up in condoms, homosexuality, abortion, and destruction.
You pretty well describe the demise of the American academy during my lifetime, Steve. The largest single tragedy of my lifetime.
Their objective is to obliterate the reality of gender being an irrefutable biological fact and render it to a state of mind. This means anyone can change their genders to any of the multitude available (and even make up new ones), concoct various pronouns for further confusion and everyone must accept this. Additionally, gender is now considered fluid meaning they can change it on a whim and the woke will readily accept it. Of course, acceptance of this new queer mantra means embracing fantasy over reality, something colleges are now espousing. Do people actually get credits for attending these queer centric courses?
