All Good Things Must Come to an End
An update on an earlier posting from two weeks or so ago. Even at Northwestern, enough can be enough:
Prof. John Michael Bailey's popular Human Sexuality course, which came under national scrutiny following a controversial after-class, optional sex toy demonstration in February, will not be offered during the next academic year, University spokesman Al Cubbage confirmed Monday afternoon.
"Courses in human sexuality are offered in a variety of academic departments in other universities, and Northwestern is reviewing how such a course best fits into the University's curriculum," Cubbage wrote in a statement.
Bailey's class, which drew widespread attention after it included a presentation involving a motorized sex toy earlier this year, is not listed in the tentative psychology course planner posted on the department's website Tuesday. Bailey will, however, be teaching two 300-level Special Topics courses — one titled "Dangerous Ideas" — next school year, according to the document....
Cubbage further clarified that the class' exclusion is not a direct response to Bailey's sex toy demonstration but a related outcome.
"What we're saying is we're reviewing the curricula," he said.

Re: All Good Things Must Come to an End
California always leads the way.
When I was attending what was then known as Fresno State College in the 1960's, I took an elective course called The Psychology of Sexuality. One afternoon, the Professor encouraged a young couple to fornicate on his desk. They gladly complied.
I promptly left the room. Not that I was a prude. I just found it banal and tasteless.

The sex toys used disposable batteries. Time and time again the University explained that all "personal novelty items" must utilize environmentally friendly renewable energy sources.
Because of Ricochet's stringent code of conduct the picture of the solar-powered hooker has been deleted.

How far we have fallen, that we seem to think we need a college-level course to demonstrate the techniques of self-abuse.

My alma mater had a human sexuality course in the psychology curriculum. Freshmen flocked to it, but were soon disgusted. The class consisted of watching hours of movies where elderly Scandinavians copulated on gurneys. Only liberals can make sex clinically un-fun.

Certainly Northwestern adds new meaning to the phrase a liberal education.

Now some of the college's "private tutors" will have to go back to street walking (and student loans won't pay for that).
