Presbyterian College Cancels 'BDSM 101' Class

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.”
