Students forced to watch and read sadomasochistic erotica at prestigious Jesuit school
A graduate student at a prestigious Catholic university is blowing the whistle on the Jesuit school’s counselling program, in which students are required to view sadomasochistic films and submit a “comprehensive sexual autobiography” as a compulsory assignment.
Naomi Epps Best, a newly married, 26-year-old mother of one enrolled in Santa Clara University’s counseling program, said she and a some Muslim students asked to be exempted from the requirements based on religious, ethical, and trauma-informed grounds, and submit alternative assignments instead. The university granted the Muslim women exemptions, but denied Best.
In a shocking exposé for The Wall Street Journal published on June 6, Best slammed the Jesuit university’s Counseling Psychology Department for capitulating to radical gender ideology and critical theory, requiring her to begin mock therapy sessions by “naming my whiteness.”
She complained to university authorities that she was forced to walk out of a class after Prof. Chongzheng Wei “played a video of a female ‘influencer’ engaging in sexual bondage activity.” The influencer was “shown gagged, flogged, and wrapped in plastic,” she added.
