In all, the program comprises 33 courses (web site) in sexuality studies. Many are geared specifically to discuss homosexual topics of themes. Others focus on gender issues or women’s issues. More than 20 deal with the broader term of “sexuality.”
Pornography in its various forms is also a topic of interest. For instance, one of the courses offered is “communications 549: sexuality and visual culture.” In that class, taught by Associate Professor of Communications Richard Cante, students will “examine how sexuality has changed through films, video, television, theatre, painting, photography, and other forms of media.” Cante’s “communications 545: pornography, sexuality, and american culture” promises to examine “the social, cultural, legal, historical, ethical, and aesthetic implications of pornography.”
I wonder if there is a single course that explores the physical and emotional risks associated with choosing a perverted lifestyle. I wonder if any courses reveal the dangers children in homosexual households are exposed to.
Such a study would require lots of handson work. I heard that Europe and China need babies. Maybe I can do exchange student work.
Seriously, I've taken such a course before. I wrote very conservative papers,etc. and although my professor was a diesel liberal,at least she respected my opinion. I got an A in the class.
Egad! I'm thinking of moving to Montana and becoming a tax protestor. This is insane!
Would a "minor" in sex studies make you an expert on age of consent laws?
”Guns Before Butter.”
Well.........knowing Chapel Hill as I do ("We're STILL looking for a few good men!"), let's just say that heterosexuals would qualify as "sexual minorities" there.
Ahem.
I'd like to ask this "institution of higher learning" how exactly such a course improves someone's ability to have a meaningful and lucrative lifetime career? Or is that silly consideration too old fashioned these days?
A better "cause" would be studies in MORALITY.
Isn't this what got Jacko in hot water? Sex with a minor is wrong. Sex with a Major should be reserved for the Major's spouse.
What's a sexual minority?
Think of this on a resume. But no one complained about the home work.
Is there a lab section?
They could plan to use relatively cheap adjuncts for these courses, but I doubt it. One reason for having this minor would be to justify hiring gay activists as professors and assistant deans and the like, and to provide current professors with a chance to have a sweet little upper-level seminar on sex and desxual identity. (Upper level seminar often means less grading burden than large lectures in lower-level classes.)
With benefits, this could easily amount to $350,000.00. And I'll bet the same university tells its professors that it does not have money for lots of more useful things.
How about a crippling burden of guilt that undermines the very soul of the sufferer and leads to philosophical and moral degeneration?
A friend of mine in the 80s took a class in "human sexuality."
One of their classroom assignments was to watch a movie of a guy jacking himself off and discuss it afterward.
"Higher" education, I guess.
It's not like they are praying or teaching the ten commandments or anything. That would be an outrage.
Why not it's the most important subject on most people's minds.
I bet the children of socialists and democrats make up the bulk of course takers.
Alimni and other donors who are not socialists or democrats ought to end their contributions and keep their good children from attending these "schools".
A minor is sexuality???
When I was in college(we will not say how long ago that was)sex was a MAJOR issue
