<p>I just thought of teachers who were a bunch of despicable cowards.</p>
<p>So proud of my alma mater and of being a Wellesley woman!!!</p>
<p>Great story !</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sosomenza, I wish CC had a like button.</p>
<p>From the article, about the conservative speaker:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OK, then… So that means everyone who has ever had sex is infected. Do these speakers even bother to listen to themselves?</p>
<p>If you keep telling lies with authority, there are some people who will believe and not ask for facts.</p>
<p>But she has been in hundreds of schools all over the country and, apparently, not a single teacher has yet to publicly protest.</p>
<p>It looks like she has spent time in Minnesota. She probably learned her ‘counseling’ skills from Dr. Marcus Bachmann, and Michelle.</p>
<p>“just thought of teachers who were a bunch of despicable cowards.”</p>
<p>Still thinking of Bill Ayers?</p>
<p>"OK, then… So that means everyone who has ever had sex is infected. Do these speakers even bother to listen to themselves? "</p>
<p>It all depends on your definitions of STI and STD. As an example, the statistical data on the progression of the HPV in the western world are not exactly heartwarming. </p>
<p>
</a></p>
<p>As a little tidbit on the subject, the Karolinska Institute (hardly a shill) has recently concluded that the spread of HPV among young swedes is nothing short of an alarming epidemic. </p>
<p>But again, it all depends on one’s definition, and on one’s willingness to look at either the final problem (think cervical cancer) versus the explosion of benign infections.</p>
<p>It amuses me that the principal thought anyone at Wellesley would think protesting an abstinence talk was a sign of low character.</p>
<p>ugh. it’s people like these that make all conservative people look bad</p>
<p>Why? Do conservative people agree with Pam Stenzel?</p>
<p>I wish I could tell this story when I hand out the Wellesley Book Award this year. :D</p>
<p>This may be the easiest decision a college’s communications office has ever had to make.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Right on! She is terrific and so is Wellesley!</p>
<p>Wouldn’t you loved to have listened in when the principal called Wellesley to report her as a feminist? </p>
<p>“She’s insubordinate! And she won’t be showing enough deference to the boys in her classes…”</p>
<p>“Excuse me, sir…”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Pam Stenzel advocates absolute monogamy. She argues that anyone, male or female, who has had sex with more than one person in his/her lifetime has been damaged. This, on the face of it, is simply untrue. If she confined herself to informing students about STD transmission and the risks of unprotected and promiscuous sex, then no one could reasonably object to her message. But she propagates an extreme ideology of physical purity as a proxy for spiritual purity. As a practicing Christian myself, I don’t think public school districts need to be providing religious instruction for my children which which I may not agree. We can handle those issues ourselves through our church and discussions in our home.</p>
<p>I am a Wellesley alumna and my daughter is there now. I am conservative but do not agree with public school districts bringing in religious speakers and forcing students to attend these assemblies. It is a clear violation of the separation of church and state. I think Katelyn Campbell is a courageous young woman and I am glad she will be attending Wellesley.</p>
<p>Agreed NJSue! My first thought upon reading this is that the ACLU needs to start taking these school districts to court to stop this blatant disregard for the Constitution. My only consolation is knowing that the message Stenzel preaches must be snickered at by the vast majority of her audience.</p>
<p>Validates my daughters choice. Go Blue!</p>
