A professor who promotes pedophilia, stating that it is not immoral for adults to be sexually attracted to minors, has accepted a position at Johns Hopkins University’s child sexual abuse prevention center.
On Thursday, John Hopkins’ Moore Center for Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse announced on Twitter that former Old Dominion University (ODU) professor Allyn Walker will join as a postdoctoral fellow on May 25. In November, Walker made headlines across the country for his unsettling statements about adults who are attracted to children.
Due to “negative response” from the university community, ODU placed Walker on immediate administrative leave on Nov. 16. On November 25, ODU announced Walker’s departure from the job.
In his book, “A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity,” Walker challenges “widespread assumptions that persons who are preferentially attracted to minors—often referred to as ‘pedophiles’” and looks at the “lives of non-offending minor-attracted persons (MAPs),” a term used to describe the group because it is less stigmatizing than a word like “pedophile,” according to Walker.
“From my perspective, there is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone because no one can control who they’re attracted to at all,” Walker said in a November interview with the Prostasia Foundation. “In other words, it’s not who we’re attracted to that’s either okay or not okay. It’s our behaviors and responding to that attraction that are either okay or not okay.”
The center defended its decision to hire Walker, calling him a “leader in the field of perpetration prevention research, which is essential for developing a comprehensive public health approach to addressing child sexual abuse and effective prevention programs.”
The Moore Center aims to change the way “people view child sexual abuse” through its mission of “supporting and conducting interdisciplinary research, educating and training students and professionals, providing objective information to policymakers and the media, and partnering with organizations,” according to its website.
NIPA’s out there, waiting, and so is law enforcement. Didn’t another teacher go to jail just yesterday over this stuff? Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone, go rub nasties with someone your own age.
How can hire A Freak
Typical woke crap. Saying the we can’t discount him because of his personal views.
Allowing the fox to guard the hen house 🙁
What does the Moore Center’s Mission statement even mean? It’s gobbledygook!
They’re opening child sex abuse centers now? That will be more fun than the punching zoo.
For pedophiles I have the perfect cure.” Castration” of any adult who inappropriately touches any child.! ! !
Wow, what are they freaking thinking? This is the worst possible person to hire. Children need our protection, not to be thrown to the wolves….
boggles the mind… In what way would this be considered a good idea???
And we continue to hear how these people are normal. It doesn’t take a shrink to know this person has problems.
Anyone that takes their Kids to any of these evil people are going to pay in the end as your abuse of the small and most vulnerable of society. God is not amused.
