To the editor:

My husband and I facilitated a drug/alcohol aftercare program for 16 years at a hospital in Wichita. It became obvious to us that sexual addiction accompanied most other addictions. We learned from the many years of experience with addicts:

1. Sex addicts rarely, if ever, rehabilitate.

2. Like all addictions, sex addiction starts in the mind, but relapse happens in a flash of a thought.

3. Most sex crimes are never reported or understood to be a crime.

4. This addiction fuels other addictions such as gambling, drugs, alcohol, spending, eating, etc.

5. Young victims usually re-victimize themselves out of lack of self-worth, not knowing what really is normal or healthy, or other unhealthy motives. Their perception is warped.

6. Victims without rehabilitation often become perpetrators. “Most” perpetrators were victims themselves.

Kansas University is not educating on human sexuality; it is perpetuating a serious behavior disorder. Why should I pay for filth when underpaid elementary school teachers in my neighborhood pay for basic classroom materials out of their own pockets because we, the taxpayers, don’t? KU is wasting our tax dollars and should lose state funding. The instructor should be fired and arrested on sexual abuse charges.
