Randolph College Students Visit Alicia The Prostitute
By Greg L | 11 April 2008 | Virginia Politics | 19 Comments
Randolph College has one rather unique way to obtain college credits: touring whorehouses in Nevada.
The brothel tour was a natural fit for a class that tells students “don’t just study America– live it,” said Julio Rodriguez, the director of the college’s American Culture Program.
Recently the college was forced to sell off a significant portion of their art collection and change their enrollment policies to admit men to the college in an attempt to save money, but they can find a way to spend money on this.
Hot Air has more on this.

I saw this article earlier today, seems like a good way to learn actively than sitting in a classroom. A bit racy, but I can see the clearly the possibility of learning here. I would much rather have them learning than sitting in a box with blinders on.
Even if they learn something, is that something worth the time and expense of learning? I think there are better places to take a college field trip, where there will be a lot more learning value per dollar and hour spent.
This post is both racist and sexist. Notice how Greg points out that the program’s director is latino? I’ll bet that if the director’s name was ‘John Smith”, Greg wouldn’t have posted it. Racist, racist, racist. Also, these college students should be exposed to this, since it is a legal means for young women to earn a living. Greg would deny them this opportunity. He is such a neanderthal.
Sub-commandante Marcos is an enlightened man. He wouldn’t deny woman to opportunity to work in this field that offers high wages and upward mobility.

Marcos, or as I like to call him “Commander McDreamy” once told me I was beautiful. Well, he didn’t actually say it that way. you know, Spanish is such full of idioms, and is poetic and lyrical. He told be that my face looked like it was used to launch a boat. I know that some things get lost in translation, but I took that to mean I looked like Helen of Troy, “the face that launched a thousand ships”. I think he was smiling when he said it, but I couldn’t tell with the ski-mask and all. But I am getting off track.
Greg is a racist and a sexist for being against prostitution.
Private college in the city known for wacko colleges. I hope everyone knows this is NOT Randolph Macon College nor Randolph Macon Women’s College.

If the zappato fits, wear it!
I’m not sure about being “racist” or “sexist” is comparable to being against prostitution or vice versa. I’m not sure where i stand on the issue, I have not given it a lot of thought. I’m sure nevada has it down to a science. I’ve heard weirder things at colleges, whatever it takes to motivate students. As long as the students paid the way, I dont think it’s that too much of a stretch. If they got something out of it then I think it’s cool…I’m sure there are plenty of places local, but getting away from it all does help the process. I know when I went to college I toured europe and saw some interesting things..many of which were not academic but I could say I learned alot..

Again I think you all are missing the sarcasm in KGoatherd’s posts. I think the author is satirizing KGotthard, owner of the anti-bvbl domain and in my opinion a liberal nutcase. Whoever “KGoatherd” is, he or she has a sharp wit, considering the real KGotthardt has posted some things very close to what “KGoatherd” uses in these satirical posts.
KGoatherd, you crack me up. Please keep the posts coming.
Perhaps Greg should come go on the record saying that he is against male prostitution as well. Then he would only be racist, and not sexist. Also, I didn’t know that none of the Nevada prostitutes were white.

LMAO! Okay, I just choked on my coffee.
The saying used to go “Sweet Briar to bed, Hollins to wed - Randolph-Macon pre-med.”
What has become of Randy-Mac is such a shame.
The college in question is Randolph College in Lynchburg, not Randolph Macon College in Ashland, VA. I don’t know anyone who ever went there. It is a small private college.
Randolph Macon College (men’s) still has an excellent reputation nationwide.
Tell me, were the people saying that obnoxious little ditty talking about Randolph Macon Women’s College? It used to be one of the top women’s colleges in the United States. Both the men’s and women’s colleges have excellent academic reputations.
The first part of that saying originates from Hampden-Syndey College. The last part, “Randolph-Macon pre-med” was added on by the girls at Randolph-Macon Women’s College.
By the way, at Liberty University instead of saying Randolph-Macon Women’s College, it was “the whores within the walls”.
Excuse me, it was “the whores on the hill”. I don’t know where I got “walls” from.
A few corrections.
First, Randolph-Macon College in Ashland has been experimenting with co-education for decades. As for its “academic reputation,” I’m not sure where “Dolph” gets his information, unless it’s from the RMC alumni magazine (which would explain a lot).
Second, Randolph College WAS formerly Randolph-Macon Women’s College (my younger sister is an alumna); the name change was made last summer when it decided to experiment in co-education, and “Dolph” (”this is NOT … Randolph Macon Women’s College”), simply is wrong.
Third, “Randy-Mac” is how we at Hampden-Sydney affectionately referred to R-MWC, as least when I was a student at H-SC in the Eighties.
Fourth, there are plenty of “obnoxious little ditt[ies]” about single-sex/ formerly single-sex colleges. I won’t tell you what we called Sweet Briar College, or how we referred to Hollins and Longwood girls (it wasn’t so much “sexist” as it was “juvenile”). The one about H-SC — I actually saw it for the first time when the R-MWC board was considering co-education — is “Hump-and-Screw-Me.”
And I would subscribe to the anonymous comment that what has happened to Randy Mac is a shame.
What’s the difference between a brick and a Longwood girl?
A brick doesn’t talk after you lay them.
James,
I stand corrected. I suppose I was living in the good old days. How time flies.
I am sorry to hear of this change for many reasons. At any rate, my apologies for going to bat for a college that used to be A+. I obviously know nothing of its standing now nor did I know of its change. And no, I hadn’t read an alumnus magazine ever.
It is funny how these threads migrate off subject. It is almost like people don’t really want to address the substance of the issues anymore. Too much media induced PTSD, with all the bad economic news, war news, and news about ugly fat chicks from a school made up mostly of lesbians (RMWC) now “Randolph College” because administrators are desperately trying to shed their school’s lesbo-feminazi image, or at least sucker enough guys to go there to keep the place financially viable.
As for the whorehouse visit, I thought all college men visited a whorehouse at least once while they were in school. I guess it should be expected that the lesbians from Randolph want to have a little fun too.
In all seriousness, we should legalize prostitution. Given that Bush and his Neocon pals have sent most of our manufacturing jobs to Communist China, our kids will have to find work in the “service sector” meaning that they will have to prostitute themselves, in order to make a living. So, visiting a whorehouse is just economic training for America’s future.
The question that has not been asked or answered is, Did they put anything into the project ?
No apology necessary, “Dolph.” Perhaps your comment was the product of wishful thinking, something I could certainly understand. I certainly agree with you about being sorry about the change. It’s a crying shame.
As for Clairese Lippincott’s comment, I am certainly puzzled by it. I’m not sure whether it is intended as serious, or is just a tongue-in-cheek rant from a Mary Baldwin or Sweet Briar girl, since it was never my impression that R-MWC girls were or are “ugly fat chicks from a school made up mostly of lesbians” attending a school with a “lesbo-feminazi image.” To the contrary, I knew quite a few very attractive and very heterosexual young ladies there back in the day, including one who was an extra as a cheerleader in “The Replacements” (and no, neither the hot exotic dancers nor the dancing fat-chick wannabe).
I guess it was probably a joke. After all, nobody who spouts that kind of Marxist rhetoric at the end of the post can possibly have intended to be taken seriously.
