Montana prude professor frets about college sex column

Then he was doing the same to the previous poster, who didn't say "sex columns and wife-beating columns are morally equivalent," just that they are in the same level of protection from legal interference.

But I'll drop it before we get even further sidetracked

 

One professor strikes back against Rate My Professors. Offered as a public service:

Well, you try and figure out why a law professor would find a sex column in a university newspaper "inappropriate" and lo and behold, you find this in the previously posted Kamin response

http://www.montanakaimin.com/index.php/opinion/opinion_article/sex_column_adds_to_campus_discussion/3543

And while this is the first time a sex column has appeared in the 111 years of the Kaimin, it’s certainly not a new idea for college newspapers. Newspapers at universities including Stanford, Cornell, Princeton and USC all publish sex columns for their readers – many of which, by the way, are far more graphic than the Bess Sex column.

However, ours, written by journalism senior Bess Davis, has drawn the ire of a handful of people on campus. Most notably among them is law professor Kristen Juras, who has a history of advocacy for extremist Christian and right-wing causes.

Juras is the adviser of a student law group, the Christian Legal Society, which, in late 2007, sued the School of Law. The group sued after the Student Bar Association refused to fund CLS because CLS does not allow gay students to hold leadership positions or even grant them voting rights.

 

Isn't "extremist Christian and right-wing" redundant?

 

Or it could be considered extreme left-wing in those sects that advocate communal living, i.e. the FLDS, Branch Davidians, or Jim Jones' group.

 

I thought the college editor's column was the smartest part of this entire debate. Quite well done.

 

I'm not sure that an evangelical Christian group that advocates communal living is left-wing.

They just want to maintain control of the people they're brainwashing.

 

Maintaining control and brainwashing are not exclusive to the right wing.

 

And we're off! :

 

Modern day examples, please.

You know, the ones that are comparable to the evangelical loonies

 

I've always heard it tastes more like fish.

I was daring enough to google it, and surprisingly the first site was the Kaimin editorial.

 

I guess so. It's been 20 years in May since graduation and I haven't read many college papers in the interim. I just know we didn't even seriously consider trying to run stuff like that back in the day. And, yeah, state school, too. Times were just different, I guess.

Why, exactly, is a sex column needed in a student newspaper? Aren't there enough alternative sources one can go to in order to find information on that topic?
