Texas college bars students from posing for Playboy

“Baylor University in Waco, Texas, which bills itself as the world's largest Baptist college, has threatened to discipline female students if they pose for Playboy magazine, which is trying to recruit models from the college.”

- original article

At Oberlin, where I spent one semester of my college education, you’d not only be permitted to pose for Playboy, but you could also likely write a paper about doing so for college credit. There was a student led class on S & M offered for credit... unfortunately, the semester before I arrived. We were pretty darn noninterventionist. In fact, the only things that might have been banned at Oberlin were Republicans and Baptists.

According to the article, there was also no dancing allowed at Baylor until 10 years ago. I’m going to guess no S & M classes either.
