And, Now For A Demonstration Students, Please Look To The Front Of The Class

I remember taking sex courses in high school. Not the most interesting stuff, in fact it seemed to be more technical than anything else. In fact it was one of the more boring subjects that we endured.

Looking back the course could have used some more umph. Then again maybe it was a good thing that there was not as much graphic detail as was the case at Northwestern University in Chicago. Last Thursday an investigation was started after news of a "demonstration" that was held after class, and get this it was a live sex demonstration! that was reported in the school's newspaper.

The event held after a class on February 21st drew approximately 100 students and while there was no intercourse, lets just say a sex toy was involved. The president of the university, Morton Schapiro stated that he was disturbed that such an event took place on the campus and that he felt that the faculty member involved, Michael Bailey, used poor judgment in allowing the event to take place. Then again it should be no surprise to the university administration the prof would be involved in a controversial event. The professor has a history of stirring up a hornets nest during his tenure at the university.

To his credit Professor Bailey has issued an apology and has made it known that he won't hold such an event again. Last I checked that sort of thing would land one in front of judge. Well, education has certainly changed since I was in school.
