Campus Reform | Catholic school funds sex worker event, but not Ben Shapiro

By Thomas A. Smith

The University of Notre Dame allegedly opted to fund an sex work event, but not Ben Shapiro, The Irish Rover reported.

Right to Life Michiana was scheduled to host Shapiro for its annual benefit on Oct. 27. UND, which has previously sponsored the benefit, opted out of providing funds.

Notre Dame LGBT Law Forum, however, hosted an event on Oct. 24 titled Decriminalizing Sex Work in which the panelists, including Chicago House legal director Elizabeth Ricks and law student and sex worker Cruel Valentine, were reportedly paid a speaking fee.

Valentine is an award-winning, international burlesque entertainer, adult film performer, Dominatrix, actor, dancer, writer, and artist, his website states.

Notre Dame Right to Life President Merlot Fogarty reportedly spoke with Office of Mission Engagement Executive Director Chuck Lamphier, who claimed the event and speaker were problematic, The Irish Rover reported.

More institutional decay. Perhaps we should open a front on why prostitution should be illegal. I haven’t really thought much about this, but it would surely annoy all the right people.
