However, on a rather funny side note. This same anthropology class was on human sexuality. Apparently the professor felt actually discussing human sexuality or watching videos of it would be inappropriate for the classroom (this was U of O, so I personally think she could have swung it without much fallout). She decided to focus on monkey sexuality instead because she pointed out that monkeys were our closest relatives. For the next month my daughter was treated to a daily dose of videos showing monkeys well....doing their thing. Her boyfriend started referring to it as her "monkey porn class". |
1-even if a professor THINKS that, what educational benefit is there from saying it? And what the hell does that have to do with human sexuality?

Maybe they shouldn't address human sexuality directly for junior high kids or
MAYBE high school kids, but a professor who doesn't have the stones to address the topic directly at a public university seriously needs to find a new career field.
At Iowa you could take Sex (Human Sexuality) Drugs (intro to pharmacology) and rock & roll (the history of rock and roll music in America) all in the same semester. And I think a lot of kids did just so they could say they're studying sex, drugs and rock & roll. HA! But that's off topic. That professor is a douchecanoe, my favorite new insult these days, and just inflames the evolution/creation argument.
And yes, I lived in Kansas for awhile and speaking of douchecanoes, these people were nuts, but ID got a lot of play there for awhile.
