Campus Reform | Presbyterian college cancels ‘BDSM 101’ event led by pro-LGBT chaplain
On Nov. 10, Rhodes College canceled a BDSM 101 workshop event that its chaplain planned for students to attend on campus the following Wednesday.
Chaplain Beatrix will host a local dominatrix to share wisdom on how to safely, sanely and consensually learn about bondage, discipline-domination, sadism-submission and masochism, an event flier obtained by FOX 13 Memphis said.

The announcement also noted that students would have an opportunity to submit anonymous questions during the training.
The private Tennessee institution, historically tied to the Presbyterian Church, employs Beatrix Weil as community chaplain, a position that the school claims fosters and enriches the religious and spiritual life of the Rhodes College community.
Rhodes told FOX 13 that the BDSM 101 event was canceled as soon as it came to the school s attention and that it was not a college-sanctioned event. Weil, however, still remains the official chaplain at the Memphis institution.
Those darn Presbyterians.
