It's a waste of taxpayer money.  If someone wants to go to a workshop on how to perform oral sex, they should do it on their own dime...

C'mon now.  You know full well that wasn't the bulk of what was being taught.  And seriously considering how many taxpayer funded universities have a rock climbing wall this seems an odd place to draw the line for activities you should do on your own dime.

This is a student-run event.  Rock climbing walls are often used for actual classes.  If you want to debate the issue of having such classes, that's a different story.

Many universities also require their students to pay for recreational equipment and activities.

Isn't sex a recreational activity?  I pretty sure some public funds are used to support recreational activities.

I don't care if public funds are used for recreational activities or sex classes.  If public funds were  used to get this going, and people were charged so that the money was made back, I'd say go for it.  But that's not what's happening here.

The amount of public grants that go into universities that are not paid back is gigantic compared to the pittance spent on this event.  That can't be the reason you are objecting.
