College Class Takes Field Trip To Brothel

A high priced college education at it's finest!


College Class Takes Field Trip To Brothel
PAHRUMP, Nev. (AP) ― Nicki Amouri hands her camera to a friend, throws her arm over another and smiles wide as she leans in for a shot with the monument her class came to visit.

It's a typical field trip memento - except that Amouri is in a brothel. The monument is a fluffy, queen-sized bed in a Western-themed party room reserved for VIPs and big spenders.

Amouri was one of a dozen Randolph College students who toured the Chicken Ranch, a legal bordello in the desert 60 miles outside Las Vegas. Thursday's class trip, which included seminars from the working girls, capped a course on American consumption and "the ideas that consume us."

"I think it's fascinating, this is fun for me," said Amouri, a junior at the private liberal arts school in Lynchburg, Va., that until last year admitted only women. "Not many people get to do this."

Academic and media inquiries are daily occurrences at many of Nevada's 27 legal brothels. Some shy away from the scrutiny, others, like the Chicken Ranch, welcome the publicity.

As I said, a high priced college education at it's finest

I want to know what the kids parents who are paying for this BS think

You don't think an interesting field trip to interview members of the world's oldest profession in an upper level class on American consumption is worthwhile? It's something most of those girls would probably have never seen outside this class. Rare experiences aren't valuable?

You are not paying for this "esperience" If it was my kid wasting his/her time with this crap - the school would have one less student

This is an "experience" they kids can do without

Meanwhile colleges whine they need more money (our tax dollars) to make ends meet

So I take it you never went to college? That would explain the chip on your shoulder.

I did go to college

But it was years ago when they acutally educated the students - not like they do today

Very weak dodge BTW HC

What dodge? You didn't ask me anything. You were preaching. If you have more preaching to do then by all means, preach 'on. Otherwise, I'm trying to get to the bottom of why you'd think that this field trip offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience would be inappropriate for a specialized, upper level class on consumption.

I point out how this is a waste of time and tax money - you reply asking me if I went to College and how I have a chip on my shoulder

I understand how it is difficult to try and justify this "field trip"

Eh, it's one very small college out of how many colleges in the country? You can't judge the entire collegiate institution on the actions of one class. Even though lots and lots of people do.

Anyway, it's a legal establishment, I've never been to Vegas, but I would think a brothel would seem like a less-crazy thing to those who live in or around Vegas. I don't know, I guess Pale would be able to answer that one.

This is only one of many articles that cover what goes on in US colleges. Again, what educational value does this field trip provide

Meanwhile, we are told we need to pour more money into education

I thought all of your "points" were short-sighted so I ignored them to get to the root of what I percieved to be your problem with this whole thing, which is that for some reason you resent education. Why is that RSR?
I've already told you what this field trip's "value" is. It provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the students. 99 percent of them would never get to see and talk to prostitutes about their clientele/job outside of this class.
The only rebuttal you've offered is that it's "worthless" yet, as per the usual, you've offered no reason to back this assertion up. Therefore, as is also per the usual, it's nothing more than your vitreolic opinion. No doubt biased by something you heard on talk radio or read on the Drudge Report.

I am afraid to ask what the "professors" had the kids do for extra credit
