Event will reflect poorly on Furman
Let it be known to the
Greenville community, with its many gracious Furman University supporters and
alumni, that their university has decided to spend over $10,000 of student money
on a self-described "over-the-top drag" queen show put on by a group called "The
Kinsey Sicks." Already, hundreds of Furman students have signed a petition to
oppose this use of student fees, but the university shows no sign of
re-considering its sponsorship of this event.
"The Kinsey Sicks" is a
group whose stage acts have included talking about Jesus in sexual contexts,
bashing Republicans and crudely describing the merits of oral sex. As one of the
students opposed to this wasteful event, I think it is only proper the
Greenville community be aware of what is going on at what should be one of its
finest institutions -- not only does this event reflect poorly on the
university, but also on the greater Greenville area.
