Fighting Back Against the Culture of Pornography and Sex at American Universities

s-and-g-realEvery year, Yale University holds what is called, “Sex Week.” According to former student, Nathan Harden, it is “eleven continuous days of nonstop sex, sexuality, sexiness and sexsatioanlism.” According to his book, “Sex and God at Yale,” the point of the week is “not to educate but to titillate.”

Some of the events featured during the week are sex toy demonstrations, a “porn star lookalike” contest, and many presentations by members of the porn industry, as well as those outspoken in their convictions that there should be no limits to sex as long as it is always “consensual.”

One whole section of Harden’s book is titled, “Yale’s war on women: how Yale sends the message to students that women should be valued for their bodies rather than their minds.” And, how could it do otherwise? The whole porn industry is based on the degradation of sex, and of women in particular.  It makes them into objects to be used merely for sexual pleasure.

I wrote in this blog last week about the transforming trend of more and more women seeking out relationships which would be solely sexual in nature. I am fully aware that many women these days are the instigators of sexual activity. However, what about those young women who arrive on campus without that in mind (men, too, for that matter?) Those who desire to pursue an education and desire relationships which will lead towards marriage instead of series of meaningless encounters. Or those who have enough sense to know that this type of irresponsible sex can have unhealthy, or even deadly, consequences?

What about your own son or daughter? How many parents have greatly sacrificed to send a child to an Ivy League school like Yale, only to watch in horror as they are swept up into a debased and reckless culture? And, at their expense! And, Yale is far from alone. I would imagine that it is harder to find a college or university that is not consumed by a culture of sex than those that are.

In his book, Harden places the blame for this culture upon the administrators and professors, rather than the students. “Most universities today are run by leftist ideologues and free-love social revolutionaries left over from the sixties. The hyper-sexual culture they helped create has led to a me-first brand of sexuality, where the feelings, the well-being, and even the consent of others is disregarded in an all-out pursuit of getting ‘what I want, when I want it.”

As far as the focus on anything being okay as long as it is consensual goes, that is rather a joke. The pressure on students, particularly women, to submit and let their morals go is intense. Even 40 years ago, I remember the isolation I felt as a college freshman committed to remaining a virgin. The humiliation of being dropped after one date; being left out of parties; studying alone in the dorm on a Saturday night. And, the environment back in my day is child’s play compared to what it is now. I can’t imagine what it is like to be a 17-year-old girl today, all alone in an environment like Yale.

Fortunately, student support groups are cropping up, committed to being “counter-revolutionaries” and equipping students with the support they need to fight against the sexual tide. The Love and Fidelity Network believes that “the flourishing of society depends on healthy family lives and stable marriages to provides the next generation with sound moral instruction and character development.“  They want to build a network to help other students to maintain sexual integrity.

Today’s parents need to be very careful when working with their child in choosing a college or university to attend. Not only are many of today’s institutions sexual cesspools, but they are determined to break down spiritual and conservative values. I think it tragic to think about the number of well-meaning parents who have gone into debt to send their child to a school which ends up turning them against all those same parents have taught them to believe. Or, worse, had them return home with ruined lives from a culture which ate them up sexually and spit them out.

Keeping it true!  Barb
