Citing the First Amendment, the president of the College of William and Mary will allow students to hold the controversial "Sex Workers' Art Show" on campus next month, the Daily Press reported.

"Defining traditions of openness that sustain universities" require to allow the show, featuring performances by strippers, prostitutes and other sex workers, to go on, Gene Nichol said in a statement released Monday.

Sick!

They can’t tell the difference between sexual exploitation that is pornography and art. Sad.

I sure hope no one brings a gun to the show — you could get arrested for that.

And in 2006, the cross was removed from the Wren Chapel at W&M, so as not to “offend” anyone........

Hypocrites.....

My views and the views of others in the community about the worth or offensiveness of the program can provide no basis for censoring it," he said in the statement, according to the Daily Press.

If my history and memory are still intact, (doubtful, I'm sure), William and Mary is the oldest college in America. If these idiots haven't figured out the first amendment by now, what does that say about the rest of American society?

How courageous was the Daily Press when they published the cartoons mocking Islam?

Can we believe that a supposedly educated man like Nichols really doesn’t understand the vast difference between imposing “censorship” and declining “sponsorship”?

He and his University are under no obligation -— moral or legal -— to provide an on-campus venue for exhibitionists.

And academic relevance? Even if they have courses in abnormal psychology, that’s no reason to host the crazies as they display themselves for fun and profit.

Sounds like more and more elite universiteies are actually an educational scam. And at tens of thousands of dollars per student, not a cheap one, either.

Correct response:

Dear Students:

I have your request for a sex-workers art show.

The answer is:

NO

Signed,

The adult in charge here

Obviously there aren’t any real adults in charge there. Just PC-addled liberal marshmallows.

My granddaughter is NOT going to William and Mary.

Bill Clinton will probably become a tenured professor there if Hillary loses the election.
