Student Tour Guide At $63,550-Per-Year College Resigns Because He Can’t Wear ‘FEMALE ORGASM’ Shirt

A student tour guide at Swarthmore College has angrily resigned from his job after admissions department officials advised him to cover up a shirt emblazoned with the words “I (HEART) Female Orgasm” before presenting information about the school to prospective students and their parents.

The student is sophomore Jordan Reyes, reports The Daily Gazette, a campus newspaper.

Swarthmore is a fancypants, politically-correct hothouse bursting at the seams with children of wealth.

Tuition at Swarthmore costs $63,550 for a single year of tuition, fees and room and board.

Reyes wore the shirt when he was presenting an information session back on April 6. The shirt looked something like this:

Later in April, Swarthmore admissions dean Jim Bock summoned Reyes for a meeting about the shirt.

Bock had received a complaint from a parent who attended the information session.

At the meeting, Reyes explained that assistant admissions dean Emily Almas had advised him to cover up the shirt. At first, Reyes agreed. But he was  bitter about it, he said, and he decided he wanted to display his “I (HEART) Female Orgasm” for prospective students, parents and, in fact, the whole world to see.

“Swatties are the type of students that will stand up for what they believe in, even if they think it’ll get them in trouble,” Reyes proudly told The Daily Gazette.

“I’m covering up my own shirt, which means a lot to me,” Reyes added. “That’s just not what I should be doing.”

In a statement sent to The Daily Gazette, Bock, the admissions dean, made it clear that he did not fire Reyes.

“We do expect our student employees to be sensitive to, and put the needs of our guests before their own,” Bock wrote. “And if an employee feels they wish to resign, we of course honor their wish.”

Reyes, a neuroscience major according to his Facebook page, said he couldn’t figure out if Almas had advised him to conceal the shirt as a mere gesture of recommendation or as more as an order.

“If that’s something that you want to avoid in the future, then you need to make that clear in training,” Reyes also complained.

Swarthmore’s official Tour Guide Manual instructs students: “Clothing should not be revealing or have offensive messages. Don’t wear anything you wouldn’t wear to grandma’s house.” (Also: “Wear comfortable shoes” — but not sandals.)

All students working for the admissions department receive a copy of the manual.

Reyes charged that Bock had given him “an ultimatum” concerning his “I (HEART) Female Orgasm” shirt.

The sophomore expounded at great length about the perceived “ultimatum” in an interview with The Phoenix, a second Swarthmore student newspaper.

“This is all off memory, so I don’t remember exactly how it went down, but he was like — he didn’t explicitly say, it seemed like he was suggesting, heading towards that, because he was like well, if you can’t, he said something to the effect of I’d really rather you just didn’t wear the shirt to any more information sessions and if you can’t do that, and then just giving me almost like a shrug and a shaking his head look,” Reyes yammered.

He said he took the totality of Bock’s statements to mean: “So essentially stop wearing the shirt, or just stop working.”

Reyes is really sad now, he says, because he claims to have no source of income in the wake of his resignation from his job as a student tour guide.

He had the job thanks in part to the largesse of the federal work-study program, which provides massive government subsidies for schools to hire their own students.

“The only money I have is the money I get from working admissions,” Reyes lamented to The Daily Gazette.

Next year, he hopes to score a job in Swarthmore’s biology department.

One of Reyes’s former student colleagues in the admissions department, sophomore Nathalie Baer-Chan, lambasted her bosses for allowing Reyes to resign over his “I (HEART) Female Orgasm” shirt.

“I think the treatment and ultimatum given to Jordan was pretty infuriating and frankly hypocritical,” Baer-Chan told The Daily Gazette. “If the school wants to continue to capitalize off of the radical energy of its students, it cannot in good conscience continue to punish students for exhibiting that same quality when it’s no longer convenient or exploitable.”

Reyes obtained his “I (HEART) Female Orgasm” shirt at an “I (HEART) Female Orgasm” event held on Swarthmore’s campus on Feb. 16.

The “I (HEART) Female Orgasm” event was sponsored by Swarthmore’s Title IX House, the Women’s Resource Center for Gender Equity, and Sexual Health Advocates.

“Whether you want to learn how to have your first orgasm, how to have better ones, or how to help your partner(s), Dorian Solot & Connor Timmons cover it all with LOTS of humor, plenty of honesty, and an underlying message of sexual health and empowerment,” a description of the event on Swarthmore’s website reads. “Are you coming?….”

Solot has been traveling to colleges and universities of all sizes performing her well-rehearsed orgasm spiel for years.

Swarthmore’s $1.9 billion endowment is worth more than the entire annual gross-domestic product of Belize.

Just over 1,500 students are enrolled at Swarthmore.

In 2014, a then-sophomore at Swarthmore, Erin Ching criticized her school for allowing Christian conservative thinker Robert George to speak on campus. “What really bothered me is, the whole idea is that at a liberal arts college, we need to be hearing a diversity of opinion,” Ching whined — apparently without irony(RELATED: The 13 Most Rabidly Leftist, Politically Correct Colleges For Dirty, Tree-Hugging Hippies)

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
