Not that it will do much good, but I am outraged that MY tax dollars are being used to promote this filth!

The UNC-Greensboro (UNCG) College Republicans recently invited me to their campus to speak on the topic of political correctness. Like all of my other speeches, I arrived about an hour early and thus had a chance to explore the UNCG campus. In fact, I was so early I had enough time to read the last two editions of their student newspaper, The Carolinian.
Like many college student newspapers, much of the writing focused on mundane subjects of little interest to those who have matured beyond their college years. And like many student papers, there was a lot of focus on sex. One column, written under the heading "Token Vagina" encouraged promiscuity while lamenting the need of some to keep track of the number of people with whom they have had sex. Another article presented a truly diverse perspective on sex by focusing solely on masturbation.
The article that really caught my attention was about anal sex. It told how Tristan Taormino, author of "The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women," recently spoke at the university. Taormino is a porn star and director who refers to herself as "the poster girl for anal sex." Her speech was co-sponsored by the Office of Student Life and the UNCG Wellness Center. That means that the North Carolina taxpayers actually paid to promote pornography and anal sex all in the name of "wellness" and "diversity."
After browsing the student newspaper, I met the officers of the UNCG College Republicans (CRs). Before I spoke, they shared some of their frustrations in trying to get conservative speakers and programs funded on their campus. They sincerely wanted to present an alternative to the university's one-sided approach to diversity but they had not yet been successful.
While talking to the officers, I learned that UNCG is presenting its annual Gay Pride Week in March. Among the many highlights of this special week are a "drag queen day" and a "gay prom." The university directly funds some of these events. Others are funded by private sources after employees paid by the university have initiated them using various university resources. None are completely free from taxpayer expense.
In response, the CRs recently tried to organize a Morals Week to coincide with Gay Pride Week. When they tried to get equal funding and support, the university turned them down saying that they wouldn't fund anything having to do with "morals."
To make matters worse, they have also said that they will not fund "conservative" speakers. I learned after my speech that the CRs were stuck with paying the bill for my hotel room. A university that has no problem paying for porn stars promoting anal sex will not pay any expenses for conservative speakers because they are simply too offensive.
To add insult to injury, the CRs were removed from a room that they had reserved for my speech only minutes before the speech began. We were all ushered into a smaller room cluttered with tables that made it difficult for the audience to listen to my speech. This was the fourth consecutive week that the CRs were bumped out of a room they had specifically reserved.
A week after my speech, the CRs wrote me a letter indicating that are going to fight the efforts of the university to censor their views by proceeding with Morals Week. In fact, they sent me an overview of events they plan to host, which are centered around the following daily themes:
Monday: Morals Week Kickoff
Tuesday: American Pride Day
Wednesday: No Hump Day (Abstinence Day)
Thursday: Right to Life Day
Friday: Wrap Up (with a speech at the Student Union Auditorium by Mike Adams).
If the university refuses to fund any of these events, they will need support from the legal community. For that purpose, the CRs can be contacted at gop@uncg.edu .
Before the day is over, I plan to write to the UNCG Development Office to ask why people should donate to a university that funds pornographic speech while suppressing the speech of conservatives. For that purpose, I will use the following contact information:
1100 W. Market StreetWe all need to send a message to our irresponsible and corrupt educational leaders. That message is that our great country was not founded on the philosophy of moral relativism. The College Republicans at UNCG understand that. They need our support.

Welcome to America. And the question is: Where are these kids' parents???
Tristan Taormino...you paid for this?
......my oldest daughter went to UNCG in the fall of '86 for her freshman year and the homosexual crap was already in full swing......predatory dykes hanging around the girls showers; that kind of thing......of course in some quarters that kind of gay openess was seen as very "progressive".........she later transfered to U of Arizona and couldn't get over the improved environment out there.
On an unrelated note, hope you & yours are doing well!

Where can a kid get a REAL education?Hillsdale College^ in Michigan for one. They take NO federal money.
Cumberland College^ in Williamsburg, KY is another good one. Baptist school (I went there a long time ago).

Clearly not paying attention. Or maybe they just don't care if their kids catch some incurable disease.
