Misplaced priorities in our schools: live sex acts, Viagra, and more

The Washington Examiner’s Barbara Hollingsworth reports that a representative of America’s “largest teachers union recently told attendees at a United Nations conference on the status of women that ‘oral sex, masturbation, and orgasms need to be taught in education’ worldwide.” The National Education Association wants to teach our kids to orgasm, even if they can’t read or write: “schools in the U.S. continue failing to teach children basic reading and math, despite a doubling of education funding in the U.S. since the 1970s.” 

Who needs to be taught to masturbate, anyway?  Generations of humans have figured it out on their own. But Skidmore College thinks its students can’t

“Controversy has descended on Skidmore College, where how-to-masturbate posters hang inside restroom stalls at the campus library. A unisex stick figure on the poster features arrows helpfully pointing to various parts of the body that the sponsor, the college’s Center for Sex and Gender Relations, considers worthy of erotic attention. The posters, also put up in dorms and classroom buildings, tell the reader that ‘Your body is a wonderland.’”

A professor at Northwestern University recently hosted a live sex act in his classroom, then proudly stated that he had “no regrets” about being so “open minded” when a public uproar ensued.  (The sex act in question turned out to be a complete flop, failing to yield the promised female ejaculation).   It was a waste of students’ time and tuition money, and indirectly taxpayer money, given all the tax money that goes into subsidizing America’s universities (even private colleges often get annual subsidies and other direct financial aid, such as construction subsidies and per-student payments).  The University initially defended the live sex act before backpeddling.  No wonder college students are learning less and less even as education spending explodes.

The Milwaukee teacher’s union has finally dropped its lawsuit to force the taxpayers to pay for large quantities of Viagra, in the face of escalating public ridicule. It’s not as if the teachers couldn’t have afforded Viagra on their own:  their average compensation is $101,091, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
