The YU Beacon Piece on Sexuality

This article has come out stating:"YU Student Paper in Danger After Acknowledging Existence of Sex."

Oh, please. I wrote an entire series on sexuality in "The Observer."

• This Too is Torah and I Must Learn
• The Jewish Perspective on Sexuality
• Interview on Sexuality in the Modern-Orthodox Community
  
• Jews and Sexuality in the Modern-Day World
• Jewish Sexual Education and the Lack Thereof
• Tzelem: Life Values & Intimacy Education

The difference between my articles and the piece in the YU Beacon is that my articles had educational and journalistic merit, were carefully researched and actually dealt with the issues. I also discussed premarital sex. You can read "Jews and Sexuality in the Modern-Day World" to see that. In contrast, the YU Beacon's article was only intended to be controversial and tick people off. (Why else publish something so poorly written?) In both these goals, they've succeeded admirably.

But don't tell me that YU is pulling its funding from a student newspaper just because someone dared to mention the word 'sex.' They're pulling funding because the Beacon published a piece without any redeeming qualities that creates a certain negative perception about YU, and YU'll be damned if they pay money to have their own dependents working against them.
