Arizona State U workshop on masturbation has been renamed

Arizona State University is nothing if not progressive -- more so than you would expect, being in Arizona and all. They have a wide variety of programmes, courses, seminars and special events, including a workshop coming up on February 13th.

"Go Love Yourself" is a workshop on the art and science of masturbation, originally titled "Go Fuck Yourself". The event will cover topics of sexual self-gratification such as, errr, masturbation. It will feature a training session from Natalie Treacy, who is described in the Facebook posting for the workshop as a "pleasure professional".

The full text of the FB page reads as follows: "Getting in touch with yourself by touching yourself. Join pleasure professional Natalie Treacy for a shame-free, pleasure focused discussion about masturbation and self exploration to get the pleasure you want and deserve."

The event is part of the ASU undergraduate student government's series on the topic of sexuality in recent history. Last November, they organized a lecture titled "The Sex Ed You Deserve" in co-operation with the Ontario Ministry of Education. [Ed., please check that before posting. There's going to be an election in Ontario in the spring and I wouldn't want to slur Kathleen Wynne's government by suggesting that they are deliberately teaching autoeroticism and other progressive perversions.] In addition to these events, they hired a Director of Sexual Wellbeing to oversee all matters relating to sexuality on campus. Now, there's a job for you. Wonder how many thousand applicants they had?

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more! In addition to the Director of Sexual Wellbeing, the Arizona State student government has announced plans to create another advisory position -- the Director of Intimacy and Healthy Relationships, who will oversee issues of intimacy and healthy relationships on campus.

This a joke, right? Satire created by The People's Cube? Not at all! Doubters are welcome to consult the student government's website, which claims that the director's active participation in discussions surrounding sexuality will help prevent sexual violence on campus. "By bridging the gap between sexual assault and other topics such as gender identity, birth control, or STI prevention and testing, we have the power to positively affect intimacy on our campus," is what the blurb says. You couldn't make this stuff up.

Note from Ed.: This announcement is presented by Walt Whiteman's World as a public service. If the picture accompanying this message is not the Natalie Treacy, we apologize, and will delete it just as soon as the facilitator send us her photo. I'm still looking into the involvement of the Ontario Ministry of Education, though.

UPDATED: Anger mounts at "graphic revisions" to ON sex ed curriculum

In just a couple of hours, Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals -- dear chum of Kathleen Wynne, the only openly lesbian head of government in North America -- will announce the province's new sex education curriculum. Agent 3 has parsed the hints, leaks and statements emanating from the Pink Palace at Queen's Park, and provides this summary of what the LGBT mafia in the Ontario government want kids in the Province of Opportunity [sic] to be taught.

The concepts of homosexuality, "gay marriage" and having "parents" of the same gender will be introduced in Grade 3, to students who are usually about eight (8) years old. Puberty will be introduced to kids of about 11 in Grade 6. They will also be taught about masturbation. One can imagine what the group activities will be like.

Information about sexually transmitted diseases will be introduced in Grade 7. This is important for 12-year-olds, Ms Sandals says, because "The research provided to us has indicated that pregnancy among girls has fallen since we introduced sex education [but] alternatively sexually transmitted diseases have gone up.... There are some young people who feel that what they are doing is more acceptable because they are not having intercourse."

Details of "what they are doing" were not provided, but a little rat has told Agent 3 topics to be covered include oral and anal intercourse. Is this really the kind of thing Ontario pre-teens do?

In 2010, when Kathleen Wynne was Minister of Education, the Liberal government of Dalton McGuinty tried to update the sex education curriculum in schools, but, facing an election, "Premier Dad" bowed to pressure from outraged parents and religious leaders and reversed its decision. This time, though, there will be no going back. Once it is rolled out, Ms Sandals said last week, it will not be changed, no matter what the public thinks.

In the same statement, Ms Sandals said that Benjamin Levin "was not directly involved" -- Walt's emphasis -- in the writing of the "updated, modernized" curriculum. Benjamin Levin is the ex-mandarin, ex-professor and leading member of the aforementioned Toronto LGBT mafia, currently charge with accessing child pornography, possessing child pornography, making child pornography, distributing child pornography, counselling to commit an indictable offence and agreeing to or arranging for a sexual offence against a child under 16.

See "Professor behind Ontario's pro-gay sex education curriculum to plead guilty to child porn charges" and "Are perverts pushing Ontario's sex education curriculum? Could be!". Prof. Levin will quietly plead guilty to some of the charges in a few weeks... after the new curriculum has been put in place.

Meanwhile, a growing chorus of parents and religious leaders is raging -- likely in vain but raging all the same -- against the Ontario government's attempts to corrupt their kids. And it's not just the usual gang of Catholics and evangelical Protestants, either. Agent 3 was in Mississauga ON, a city of about 750,000 of which the majority are south Asians -- Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs.

Last night the community organized a town hall meeting, facilitated by the Islamic Society of North America, to protest the curriculum, which, whether they like it or not, will be implemented for the beginning of the new school year in September. What message did the 1000+ attendees have for Premier Wynne? "It’s unacceptable. We reject it!"

Mississauga South MPP Charles Sousa (who is also the Minister of Finance in the Wynne government) attended the meeting and took the heat. Surprisingly, he did not appear as uncompromising as Ms Sandals. "This is not a law that cannot be changed, it’s not a bill," he said. "And there is no law that can prevent amendments to the curriculum."

Indeed. But in practice, the curriculum is written by bureaucrats within the Ministry, "progressive thinkers" like Benjamin Levin who have their own super-PC agenda: encouraging "alternative lifestyles", "celebrating diversity", "preventing bullying", yada yada yada. The chances of any real people having any input are slim and none.

Not only do parents get no input, they don't even get consulted! At last night's meeting, Mr. Sousa was told that all local school board trustees were contacted by the meeting organizers, and not one reported having been consulted in regards to the curriculum.
