Concerns About College Experiences
Imagine being a parent paying around $90,000 annually for your child to attend what’s considered an “elite” private university. If you’re investing that much, you would naturally expect—no, perhaps even demand—a top-notch education delivered by wise, discerning professors.
But, I think, that may just be wishful thinking. Nowadays, many universities feel more like expensive daycares. They don’t really focus on academics but do excel in providing a range of entertainment options.
Take, for example, the unusual sexual rituals at Amherst College for first-year students. A recent report highlighted how universities are pushing students into attending peculiar events. The same outlet shared footage of students engaging in simulated sexual activities.
To those unfamiliar, Amherst College is a private liberal arts college nestled in Massachusetts, known for its high costs and being a fallback for those who don’t make it into the Ivy League. It also tends to promote left-leaning and LGBTQ ideologies.
So, it might not be shocking that the college organizes such “overly sexual” activities in a place like the chapel.
During one event in the chapel, students acted out simulated sex acts, including oral sex and group sex. In a bizarre scene reported by the Free Beacon, one female student bent over while another pretended to engage in intercourse from behind. Other participants mimed drug use while sharing their “intellectual thoughts.”
But honestly, the video is quite unsettling.
The Free Beacon went on to say that colleges have various responsibilities. At Amherst, for instance, there’s a “wellbeing skit” that showcases students role-playing casual and drunken sexual encounters, which often involve strangers.
Additionally, faculty even encourage students to delve into unconventional relationship styles, like polyamory—where multiple people engage in consensual sexual relationships within a group.
This kind of scenario honestly makes me reconsider my approach to education for my own kids, maybe even opting for a more traditional environment like BYU. It’s just… strange and frankly upsetting.
