The Sex Workers Show Will Go On

January 28, 2008 RSS Feed Print

A sex workers speaking tour is creating a furor at the College of William and Mary after the student government approved $1,450 for the event, the Flat Hat reports. The show, which is part of a tour that will visit a number of other campuses including Duke, George Mason, Harvard, and Michigan, features workers from the sex industry who discuss their work and lives and has been criticized as pornographic and immoral. "I think that it is irresponsible for the Student Assembly to throw its monetary support behind something that is obviously so controversial, divisive, and to many, offensive," said one critic.
