"Pope Francis’s reign as head of the Catholic Church ended last April. I’ve found that many people who only hear about him on the news or social media may believe things that have been sensationalized or meant to push a specific narrative." - Aiden Wirth.

Fox News picked up The Madison Federalist's original reporting:. "The University of Wisconsin–Madison has reportedly approved doling out $136,000 to fund a group that provides sexual programming, including a 90-minute 'Ethical Porn' session for students.".

This is not the only change to DEI at UW-Madison, so for the full story, go to .

Additionally, in a paper he co-authored last year, he criticized the end of affirmative action:

Percival Matthews, whose position was created after the demotion of former chief DEI officer LaVar Charleston, appears to have defended the 2020 BLM riots:

UW-Madison's new "special advisor for access and community" has a history of controversial comments, including accusing both Donald Trump and American mathematics education of racism.

Mandatory student fees at UW-Madison have been used to purchase sex toys through the organization "Sex Out Loud," which will receive more than $135K from these fees next year.

Sex Out Loud is active on Instagram. Some posts within the last year include a call to “Free Palestine” and advice on what type of lubricant to use for pegging.

Events hosted by Sex Out Loud this year include a “panty party,” transgender and nonbinary “sexual health trivia” co-hosted with Planned Parenthood, a rope tying workshop, drag bingo, a pleasure activism workshop, a pole dancing class, and sex bingo.

The “Ethical Porn” program, for example, breaks down “common assumptions/ critiques of porn” and helps students “practice media literacy with a focus on pornography.”.

SOL also offers 90-minute interactive sessions to students, with topics such as “Masturbation,” “Ethical Porn,” “Advanced Pleasure,” “Kink,” and “Sexability.” All students can request a program.

Madden confirmed that SOL does purchase sex toys and said annual spending on them varies “based on programming, events, and co-sponsorships.” Sex Out Loud was approved for $21,000 in spending in “supplies/furniture,” under which sex toys presumably fall.

The SOL website has a form that allows any student to request condoms, lubricant, dental dams, Plan B, and pregnancy tests. Madden said the “online order form is frequently used by students, and anyone is welcome to visit our office in person to collect supplies.”.

Sex Out Loud’s website reports that its mission is to “promote healthy sexuality through sex-positive education and activism.” The first photo on the homepage is of a group of students holding sex toys, one of whom is simulating oral sex on a fake vulva.

🧵The student organization “Sex Out Loud” was approved for almost $136,000 in allocatable funding for the 2025-26 school year by ASM’s Student Services Finance Committee. This money comes from student fees, which UW students must pay. Here's how it has recently used its funds:
