House votes to strip IU’s Kinsey Institute of state funding
House Republicans narrowly voted to strip the
Indiana University Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction of its state funding Wednesday on a 53-34 vote.
Freshman Rep. Lorissa Sweet, R-Wabash, called Alfred Kinsey — who founded the research institution in 1947 — with his reports on human sexuality, a child predator who studied orgasms in minors. The school continued to harbor child predators, she said.
“Who knows what they are still hiding? Could they be hiding child predators? If there’s any place where Chris Hansen needs to catch a predator, it’s Indiana University,” Sweet said, referring to Hansen’s long-running reality show To Catch A Predator.
According to the
New York Times, Kinsey solicited information from a convicted pedophile for the orgasm study.
