Culture: Northwestern human sexuality professor apologizes (defensively)

  • Those who believe that there was, in fact, a serious problem have had considerable opportunity to explain why in the numerous media stories on the controversy, or in their various correspondences with me. But they have failed to do so. Saying that the demonstration ‘crossed the line,’ ‘went too far,’ ‘was inappropriate,’ or ‘was troubling’ convey disapproval but do not illuminate reasoning.
  • Northwestern professor J. Michael Bailey • Offering a spirited defense of the presentation at his human sexuality class, which focused on untraditional types of sex and reportedly used a thing with a name we won’t repeat here. While defensive, Bailey did apologize for upsetting so many with his class, which he has taught for 18 years. “I regret upsetting so many people in this particular manner,” he added. “I apologize.” source
