Harvard University offers Anal Sex 101

Harvard University is renowned the world over for the Ivy League education its students are offered, and the curriculum contains a class or two that would be hard to find elsewhere, RT reported.

As part of its annual Sex Week, “a week of programming that is interdisciplinary, thought-provoking, scholastic, innovative and applicable to student experiences in order to promote a holistic understanding of sex and sexuality,” the school will be hosting classes that contrast quite sharply with what is considered a good education by most.

Starting this Monday, Sex Week attendees can sit-in on events that range from a sexual health career panel on Tuesday evening, to a class offered that afternoon called “What What in the Butt: Anal Sex 101.”

“Come learn everything about anal sex from the experts of Good Vibrations, a sex-positive store located right in Brookline!” reads the course description posted on the official Harvard Sex Week website. “They will dispel myths about anal sex and give you insight into why people do it and how to do it well.”

This year’s session marks the fourth consecutive run of Sex Week at the school, which is coordinated annually by Sexual Health Education & Advocacy throughout Harvard College, or SHEATH, a group that describes itself as being “dedicated to empowering the Harvard community to explore their experiences with love and sex by providing comprehensive programming addressing a wide range of issues relating to sex, relationships, dating, sexual health, and sexuality.”

“We’re always honored to support Harvard Sex Week and everything that SHEATH does throughout the year,” CEO Susan Colvin said in a statement. “We share a common goal: helping people learn and understand sexual wellness.”

Others aren’t so optimistic, though, and have raised concerns about the types of classes that are offered. One Harvard student, Molly Wharton, reportedly told The College Fix website that she wasn’t initially well versed in what this year’s installment will involve, but added, “after looking at the schedule of events, though, I do question the amount of time and resources that went into planning and funding these events, some of which are downright vulgar, at a place like Harvard.”

“I can’t imagine that there are not more worthwhile educational programs and initiatives to which Harvard’s resources should be devoted,” the student said.

The programme is unlikely to change, however.

Going to Harvard means getting an A

“The median grade in Harvard College is indeed an A-,” the school’s dean of education said today, according to the student newspaper. Even more stunning: “The most frequently awarded grade in Harvard College is actually a straight A.”

That ought to dispel any notion that Harvard is tough on its students. Grade inflation may be a victimless crime, but what is the point of having a range of grades if half of them are A- or higher?

Accusations of grade inflation flare up frequently at Harvard and other college campuses. Harvard, in particular, has been accused of grading more softly than some of its rivals in the Ivy League.

Larry Summers, the former US Treasury secretary, was highly critical of the practice while he was president of the university. After he stepped down, he told an interviewer: “Ninety percent of Harvard graduates graduated with honors when I started. The most unique honor you could graduate with was none.” – Quartz

Ivy League prof calls God a ‘white racist’

The mainstream media and the Obama administration’s active fomenting of racial tension and hatred following the George Zimmerman not-guilty verdict has led to some bizarre public outbursts, including a recent deranged blog posting published by a supposedly well-educated college professor. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) associate professor Anthea Butler recently spewed her obvious disagreement with the verdict by ranting online that God is a “white racist” who walks around with a gun “stalking young black men.”

Butler, who teaches at the UPenn Department of Religious Studies, went off on a disturbing tangent in her blog posting when she began to vomit her irrational beliefs about how God “ain’t good all of the time,” insinuating that because the Zimmerman verdict was not what she wanted, God is somehow evil. Butler proceeded in her posting to accuse God of not being “for” black people in general because of the verdict, making sure to also blame Christians for Trayvon Martin’s murder.

“As a historian of American and African-American religion, I know that the Trayvon Martin moment is just one moment in a history of racism in America that, in large part, has its underpinnings in Christianity and its history,” gushes Butler. “When the good Christians of America are some of its biggest racists, one has to consider our moral responsibility to call out those who clearly are not for human flourishing, no matter what ethnicity a person is.”

Butler goes on and on to decry white people, Christians, all Americans that are not black, and of course God in her lunatic diatribe against essentially all of non-black humanity, illustrating how completely off her rocker she truly is. Not only did the Zimmerman trial have absolutely nothing to do with white Christians — Zimmerman, after all, is actually part Hispanic, for anyone that actually cares — but the verdict itself was determined based on the evidence, or lack thereof, that was presented during the trial.

“No amount of heartbreak over the Zimmerman acquittal justifies these hateful posts,” wrote Josiah Ryan, editor-in-chief of the UPenn paper Campus Reform, in an editorial about Butler’s unhinged pontification. “Professor Butler’s remarks were clearly designed to hurt when Americans needed healing and to divide when we needed unity.”

“In tumultuous times students must be able to turn to their professors for calm and wisdom. In stoking the flames of hatred, Professor Butler has betrayed her students’ trust. UPenn administrators out not to allow her back in the classroom.”

The real irony in Butler’s rant is that it really only illustrates her own seething racism towards non-blacks, whom she fallaciously blames for all of the problems faced by what she presumptuously refers to as “us,” specifically African-Americans. And by somehow managing to drag God into the mix and labeling him as a racist, Butler proves that she has literally lost her grounding in reality.

According to reports, Butler has not been able to be reached for comment following her irrational blog posting, which she gleefully followed up with hateful “tweets” suggesting that God is a member of the KKK. Not surprisingly, UPenn officials have also thus far refused to comment on the situation. – Natural News
