The pedophile-loving professor no one had ever heard off until a crazy interview went viral has lammed it, you might say.
Taxpayer-subsidized Old Dominion University in Virginia has placed “deeply anxious” “queer criminologist” Allyn Walker on “administrative leave” because it’s worried about safety. During the interview with pedophile-backer Noah Berlatsky, Walker said it’s unfair to call pedophiles what they are: pedophiles.
Instead, he whined, pedophiles must be called “Minor-Attracted Persons,” or MAPS, because not all pedophiles are guilty of abusing kids. In fact, he wrote an entire book on the subject.
Understandably, outrage ensued. Protest erupted. So now, the school says, Walker is on “administrative leave.” That’s code for “in hiding” because more than a few students and professors probably don’t care much for hanging around pedophile apologists.
The Interview
The prancing professor’s profile got something of a boost when his pow-wow with pedo partisan Berlatsky hit Twitter.
MAPS is a better term of pedophiles because it’s “less stigmatizing,” he said:
A lot of people when they hear the term pedophile, they automatically assume that it means a sex offender. And that isn’t true, and it leads to a lot of misconceptions about attractions toward minors. I’ve definitely heard the idea that you brought up though that the use of the term ‘minor attracted person’ suggests that it’s okay to be attracted to children, but using a term that communicates who someone is attracted to, it doesn’t indicate anything about the morality of that attraction.
There’s more, but you get the picture. Walker is a pretty twisted sister.
But both he and the school felt the need to state the obvious.
“I want to be clear,” Walker said. “Child sexual abuse is morally wrong and inexcusable crime.” The school said likewise, but explained that “the quest for knowledge … may involve controversial issues and perspectives.”
Pedophiles aren’t on a “quest for knowledge,” they’re on a quest for child rape.
But that aside, the statements did no good. Protesters marched on campus and left their sentiments in graffiti.
The Protests
“Protect ODU! Protect ODU!” they shouted as they marched.
They also scribbled graffiti on sidewalks and outdoor walls.
“We won’t be silent,” the angry protesters wrote. “Keep kids safe.” And “don’t sexualize children.”
But there’s more: “Keep Pedos off ODU” … “Pedophilia is not a sexuality” … “MAPS = Pedophiles” … “Call them what they are.”
And, of course, “Fire Allyn Walker.”
The school hasn’t done that, and probably won’t. Like most universities, it’s woke. And in keeping with being woke, it used the “correct pronoun” in its note about Walker’s taking time off.
“Old Dominion University has placed Dr. Allyn Walker on administrative leave, effective immediately, from their position as assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice,” the school said:
Reactions to Dr. Walker’s research and book have led to concerns for their safety and that of the campus. Furthermore, the controversy over Dr. Walker’s research has disrupted the campus and community environment and is interfering with the institution’s mission of teaching and learning. “I want to state in the strongest terms possible that child sexual abuse is morally wrong and has no place in our society,” said ODU President Brian O. Hemphill, Ph.D. “This is a challenging time for our University, but I am confident that we will come together and move forward as a Monarch family.”
So again, the college president felt the need to explain “in the strongest terms possible that child sexual abuse is morally wrong.”
In other words, the powers that be aren’t exactly comfortable with Walker and his pals running thither and yon unsupervised. Should one of Walker’s MAP buddies get caught doing what they do in the dark, it’s on the record as having condemned them in the “strongest possible terms.”
Walker’s pro-pedophile book is titled A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity and was published by the University of California, another taxpayer-subsidized university.
Tuition, room and board at ODU so your college kid can rub elbows with the “queer criminologist”: Anywhere from about $20,000 (in-state) to about $46,000 (out-of-state).
