Al Mohler writes about the latest improvement in college dorm co-educational opportunities. How much will the "health care" at state schools cost taxpayers for pills, condoms, std medication, abortions? Or maybe we've already peaked and it can't get much worse? What's the big deal about a co-ed bedroom when co-ed showers and bathrooms have been around for a while?
While I don't disagree with anything Mohler wrote, I think this is a case of reacting after the change. University of Minnesota did not have co-ed dorms, but 80% of the students did not live in dorms, and a large portion of those students did have co-ed roommates off campus. Parents were still paying their tuition bills, so evidently they didn't care, or were being lied to. Honestly, in a college hook-up culture where little more than an almost embarrassingly small quantity of beer is required for a sexual "encounter", maybe it IS possible that today's college student is no more likely to have relations with a person because they are roommates than they were anyways. I'm not condoning it, but some issues are indefensible once the moral foundation that supported them has been eroded.
