Dorm Brothels: Is Promiscuity Obligatory? (important information for parents with college age children!)

The Breakpoint commentary for 1/10/2006 (link) has an excellent reminder/wake-up call to parents who have college age children regarding the moral dangers found in most college settings.

Maryland's Loyola College ethics Professor Vigen Guroian, has stated that colleges have "gone into the … brothel business." He goes on to say,

"I know that young people are getting hurt, some permanently scarred for life," Guroian says. "I hold colleges like my own morally accountable, if not complicit in this harm. The colleges know what is going on, and they [simply] shovel out self-serving rhetoric about respecting college students as adults. And," Guroian says, "when those 'adults' get hurt, they order up more psychologists … to bandage the casualties, my children and yours."

Note: you will find some good links and resources listed at the conclusion of the article to help you educate your child on these dangers.
