If Ivy league students do it, it must be OK.

In 2006, a New York Daily News reporter went undercover at meetings of Conversio Virium, Columbia’s officially recognized student-run BDSM education group. The resulting article was framed as a salacious gotcha: “It calls itself a ‘discussion group’ that provides ‘education and peer support’ and promotes ‘safe, sane and consensual play,’” wrote the reporter. “But the club doesn’t just talk.” The article went on to describe how the reporter sat in “a venerable classroom building where Columbia students have studied Poe, Plato and Plutarch for nearly 100 years” and watched as “a female student volunteer stood facing the blackboard” and a BDSM educator “flogged her repeatedly with leather whips, rubber hoses — and a cat-o’-nine-tails.” (Note that the article didn’t say anything about the student being unclothed.)

>>>So the tution paid by other students is used to support the BDSM and kinky sex groups on the campus?

This reminds me of a quote by Late Sujata aka Rangarajan (scientist/writer) 'Thappitthal Thappillai' meaning 'it is NOT wrong, if you do not get caught'

it's been for a while that the contemporary existence is reduced to essentially 'legal of illegal' - no other values factor in at all.

>>>I think these are baby steps toward empathy building in students for their parents, the recipients of Columbia tuition bills.
