From Huffington Post:
Tennessee lawmakers advanced
legislation this week officially condemning a group of students for holding a
"Sex Week" event on campus.
A resolution
with 29 co-sponsors
currently moving through the Tennessee House of Representatives will do nothing
to stop "Sex Week" from taking place at the University of
Tennessee-Knoxville. Instead, it declares the event "an outrageous misuse
of student fees and grant monies," and says that it "fits nowhere
within the mission" of the university, "nor should it ever."
The bill originally condemned the
school's administration, which is not involved in the event. An amendment
changed it to focus on "the organizers," which is to say, a group of
students. The resolution passed a committee vote Wednesday and is scheduled for
a full House vote next week.
"If those people who organize
this thing want to have it, hey, let them get off campus," state Rep.
Richard Floyd (R-Chattanooga), the primary sponsor of the resolution, told the
Chattanooga Times Free Press. "They can go out there in a field
full of sheep if they want to and have all the Sex Week they want." . . .
