Cowards At Cal State Fullerton
The student health center at Cal State Fullerton agreed with the Daily Titan, the student newspaper, on a plan for free condom distribution. The newspaper would promote the giveaway and include a condom in its November 14 issue. The health center was to supply the condoms. But then the health center backed out. They said this extraordinarily dull (very SFW) depiction of heterosexual missionary position sex used to promote the distribution was "pornographic." OTOH, the Dean of Students seems to object to condoms...or maybe litter, it's not clear.
Titan editorial on the subject here.
Ya know, if this happened at Joe's Foot-Stomping Bible College in Oklahoma, it wouldn't even be a story, but to find such fear at a California state school is shocking.

Yeah, the editorial exhibits the normal hyperbole of college students playing at journalism.

Quotes from the Titan article:
"They are adopting a very dangerous philosophy that denies a person the ability to protect themselves simply because that protection may offend some people......
......Some will be embarrassed, some will forget, some will be lazy and, thanks to the management of the center, these students will be more likely to get pregnant or contract AIDS."
Denied????? Lazy???? No one is being denied anything, except for maybe a condom being delivered to their door like a pizza; or, wait, like a newspaper. And lazy, that's the excuse this writer uses to make it the responsibility of some other entity to take care of someone elses sex life. What a bunch of crap. If these people are too fucking stupid and lazy to get their own condoms then who in the hell would have been there to open the package and put it on for them if the papers had delivered them. Fucking whiners.
