College Students Tour Nevada Brothel (Professor's "field trip")

PAHRUMP, Nev. - Nicki Amouri hands her camera to a friend, throws her arm over another and smiles wide as she leans in for a shot with the monument her class came to visit.

It's a typical field trip memento -- except that Amouri is in a brothel. The monument is a fluffy, queen-sized bed in a Western-themed party room reserved for VIPs and big spenders.

Amouri was one of a dozen Randolph College students who toured the Chicken Ranch, a legal bordello in the desert 60 miles outside Las Vegas. Thursday's class trip, which included seminars from the working girls, capped a course on American consumption and "the ideas that consume us."

This year's focus on Nevada started with a professor's interest in water rights and conservation. It grew to include discussions of the wedding and entertainment industries and, inevitably, prostitution.

Under the guise of "studying", this professor is promoting vice. He's humanizing vice and looking to make it acceptable and perhaps influence others to have this particular vice, prostitution, legal all over. He's planting the seeds ... .

If I was the parent of one of these kids and my hard-earned money was being spent in this outrageous and idiotic way, I'd be making some phone calls and raising the roof of that college! My child and my money would be immediately yanked and sent to a school that was in the business of educating rather than teaching immoral nonsense.

I agree that ideally you would yank your child from this school, but the hard truth is that few of us can afford Christian colleges for our children, especially when there is more than one in the family. I am praying my girls get a scholarship to one and then we can supplement with what we've saved.

Also, students often lose credits when switching from college to college, so I'm not sure how that would impact a student. What I find amazing is that none of the kids seemed to see a thing wrong with this little field trip. The thing that bothered me the most was the workshops given by the "working girls". How absolutely disgusting and just plain wrong. Surely at least one of these kids had the guts to speak up about the craziness of this fieldtrip?

We should make prostitution a federal crime. I wrote President Bush to that effect but unlike all the other letters that I have gotten responses to, I received no response on that one.

You can always be assured that college professors are going to do brainless things like this.

Must be some kind of "liberal educator's virus" that affects the neurons in these people. :rolleyes
