At Salon, Justin Elliott found a 2003 article by anti-wanking creationist Christine O’Donnell in which she warned America’s youth about the lurking threat of coed dorm rooms, leading inevitably, inexorably, to orgy rooms and menage a trois rooms (with any luck): O’Donnell warned of ‘orgy rooms’ in college dorms.

Dorm life has evolved into a blending of the sexes, from coed buildings to coed floors, coed bathrooms and now even coed rooms.

“What’s next? Orgy rooms? Menage a trois rooms?” asked Christine O’Donnell, spokeswoman for the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in Wilmington, Del., which publishes a college guide.

All this coedness is outside normal life, said Miss O’Donnell. “Most average American adults don’t use coed bathrooms - if they had the option of a coed bathroom at a public restaurant, they wouldn’t choose it.” Coedness “is like a radical agenda forced on college students,” she said.

Man, the Tea Partiers really picked a winner here! In 1997, O’Donnell also complained that the government was spending too much money fighting AIDS, that condoms did nothing to prevent it, and that the money would be better spent on teaching people how not to be gay.
