My freshman year of college, I had a professor by the name of Lovejoy, and she taught european civilization. She was the sort of woman who, if you missed a day of class, she would simply make a note in her book and, at the end of the semester, automatically fail you, never saying a word.

One day she was lecturing on the nature of sexuality in classical greece, such as the Athenian pederasty and the Spartan military lovers, and the Sacred Band of Thebes.

We had one girl who became very upset at this, and the notion that Alexander the Great was a homosexual, and said something - Professor Lovejoy, not being one to be interrupted, ignored her completely, and kept speaking. The girl, again, spoke up a few minutes later. A few of us gave her nasty looks, and she subsided. When the professor spoke about the Sacred Band of Thebes and said that Phillip of Macedonia proclaimed over the battlefield, 'Let any man perish the thought that these men did anything unseemly'. She made some remark about religion and homosexuality, and Professor Lovejoy closed her book, and dismissed the class for the day.

The next week, I was sitting in the front row (having been five minutes early, which was hideously late for the average student, considering the cost of being 5 minutes late was a high risk of failing the class). Lovejoy walked in, walked over to the girl, and asked to speak with her in the hall. The girl acquiesced, and they walked to the door. The professor opened the door for the girl, who walked out, and spun around wide-eyed when Lovejoy slammed the door behind her, and locked it. She promptly walked over to the girl's desk, grabbed her books and bag, and dropped it out the window, after ensuring the girl did not have a laptop with her.

The professor turned around, walked up to her lectern, smiled, and asked if anyone wished to leave the class as well.

It promptly brought an end to that behaviour.

Anyways. My point is, however. Making a very brutal example of one of them is a very sufficient method of dealing with people their age.

I had a similar experience in a developmental psychology class. At the beginnng of the semester our Professor handed out a detailed curriculum for what we'd be doing week by week and there were two weeks that covered Sexuality. Now I live in Alabama which of course is part of the Bible Belt so I was wondering how it would go over and it played out pretty badly. There was an older guy mid 30's taking the class with us and on the first day of the chapter on Sexuality he had a bible open in the hall outside of the class. Immediately I knew stuff was about to hit the fan. We get in the class and the Professor starts the chapter only to be interrupted by the older man spouting quotes of Bible passages. Instead of telling the man "You knew this was part of the curriculum if you couldn't deal with it you shouldn't be taking this class" He assured him that he was a Christian and attended church every Wed. and Sunday and this was something that had to be teached. The older guy continued to mutter and make a show of shaking his head to things the Professor said flipping through the bible and raising his hand to interject, which the Professor ignored and made the man even angrier. He did the same thing each day until we moved on to another subject. Suffice it to say the class was ruined for me.

I'm merely curious, what does this has to do with the boys ogling the female models and having homophobic reactions? Perhaps I could understand if you said that Christians have strong anti-gay sentiments, and that resulted in the homophobic reactions (which I don't agree, but I will be able to understand why you feel that way). But why does what you call the Christian concept of 'sex is bad' have to do with this?
I'm a Christian, so perhaps I'm inherently biased towards Christianity. But this seems a little strange to be brought up here.

I did not say that the Chirstians had a concept of "sex is bad" on the whole. I said that there were people who decided on behalf of every one in the United State, that sex was bad. The only thing it has to do with Christians is that these people did it under the guise of Christianity. There are some Christians that back this up, and others that don't. My statement wasn't meant as "Christians are destroying art so they are evil". I'm pointing out that we need to watch more closely to what our politicians and the media are doing, especially when it comes to religion. Often they get things wrong. They go with the flow of a small and loud group of people. They twist words and make good things evil. If you like the way they do things now, then I guess it's not a problem for you. I personally don't like the fact that they can do awful things, put God in the mix, and use it for justification. I would think that any Christian would find that offensive.

Well, their actions were absolutely horrible and I feel sorry if the models heard the comments that they were making. I think I would just have told the main instigators to leave and give them a zero for the day. I would send the main teacher an email of the behaivor and what was said. Probably some were just going along with the crowd, but that still does not make it right. And I would not have an issue drawing a naked man or woman (though I can't draw a straight line to save my life).

US is prudish? Hollywood, MTV, Playboy ... not American I guess.

Do that in China, or Singapore or Malaysia or any other conservative country. I double-dare you.

Actually, farmers are traditionally all about having lots of kids. For a couple of reasons. One reason is, that for poor farmers, high childhood mortality means that having lots of kids ensures that a few of them survive to adulthood. But the main reason is that for the farmer, those kids generally become a little workforce that they don't have to pay wages to.
