Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis reportedly scrubbed a "workshop" about bondage after parents complained about the controversial course.
Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis had reportedly planned to offer an "Introduction to Bondage" free workshop for all students on Feb. 13. However, the university quietly walked back the controversial class after pushback from parents, according to reports.
The New York Post reported, "The Hoosier handcuff symposium was slated to be led by a 'national rope presenter' named Fynch, whose bio boasts of PhD level mastery of 'basic negotiation, the anatomy of the arm, as well as the anatomy of the hip, groin, and upper leg.'"
Citing Ryan Anderson, assistant director of the office of health and wellness promotion, the Collegiate Commons reported, "It will be an hour-long workshop with the first portion being our instructor Fynch talking about basic bondage techniques, skills, and safety, consent, and communication with bondage, and in general, and demonstrating a few ties on her partner. The second part of the workshop will be an opportunity for participants, based on comfortability, to practice basic ties demonstrated first by our instructor."
The college course added, "Nylon rope will be provided and I along [with] our instructor and others will be walking around to assist."
The so-called lesson categorized "bondage" as "a form of consensual and recreational sex play that involves tying, restraining, or binding a person with rope, handcuffs, or other items that can restrict movement."
Collegiate Commons noted that Fynch is active on "FetLife," a fetish-oriented social media platform, where the individual reportedly wrote about rape, coercion, and "suggested child pornography."
The college instructor is allegedly a master in the "basic negotiation, the anatomy of the arm, as well as the anatomy of the hip, groin, and upper leg."
The "lesson" was allegedly part of the university's "Relationship Week."
However, the course was nixed by the public university on Wednesday after backlash from parents.
Jacob Stewart, an IUPUI student, said, "My university has faced controversy during my time here for not doing enough to protect students from sexual assault This [event] is not making campus safer, nor is it making the sex lives of students any safer – all it’s doing is showing how far IUPUI has gotten from its actual educational mission."
You don’t use nylon, it’s all scratchy.
...and they are given loan forgiveness taking courses like that?
They cancelled my class!!! I was really going to get into it. I’m sure I would have got the hang of it in no time. My stomach is in knots over this.
Polypropylene, hemp, sisal and most other natural fibre ropes are the scratchy ones. Nylon is a much softer option.
Just sayin’
“quietly walked back the controversial class”
Is “walked back” synonymous with “cancelled”?
Or possibly “evicted from campus forevermore”?
Do they realize that these classes will show up on their transcripts for every employer they interview when they enter the job market?
Yup.
Whip me, beat me but don’t noose me baby is the new norm on campus these days.
Or so it seems.
To paraphrase Hunter S Thompson - when the going gets weird, the weird get going.
And it’s getting weird out there
This and so many other examples, shows how “seriously” students take a college education these days.
When I was in college, my peers and I would have laughed, and said something like, ‘What a waste of tuition”.
This is why I focused on saving for my retirement. My children had to fend for themselves for higher education but when I finally kick the bucket, they will have something to inherit that has value.
And in the early 70’s, it was Jane Fonda giving anti-war speeches that caused the most controversy on campuses.
Oh where, oh where, can my super smart Grandson go to College? For now I’m thinking Stanford is still OK.
Any suggestions welcome.
He’s very young now, not even a teenager. And he really is super smart and mathy.
Isn’t Hillsdale the one Rush used to recommend?
I suppose Calculus and History lack the same level of interest if not importance.
And parents pay for education at places like Purdue...It getting difficult to defend the whole concept of college.
Where are these perverts coming from? Why would any University employ them??
When working at a public university I was amazed at the level of perversion among faculty and staff. This was 30 years ago.
Wow, IU/Perdue has come a long way since my Dad was an engineering student there.
I’m glad my Dad is no longer alive to see this, I’m certain he would have cut off any/all donations.
WTH ?????????
STAY AWAY FROM ANY CALIF COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY
Parents need to use their kids’ college funds for trade school.
