Every year teachers must turn in their requests for field trips for the school year. For each field trip the teacher must list how that particular field trip fits in with the standards and objectives for that grade level. Teachers at Randolph College have come up with some very unusual ideas about field trips. The students traveled ACROSS THE COUNTRY to visit the Chicken Ranch in Nevada - a famous brothel - to study American culture. Really, foks, is a house of prostitution “representative” of American culture? Don’t you know the parents of these students are proud to know how tuition money is being spent.Here’s the story:

A group of Randolph College students took a field trip to the Chicken Ranch, a Nevada brothel, which drew a lot of controversy.
The group from Randolph College, which is located in Lynchburg, Virginia, travelled across the country to go to the Chicken Ranch as part of their American Culture program curriculum.
Each semester the course examines a strain of American culture and ends with a class trip. In the past, classes have visited post-Katrina New Orleans, Walt Disney World and the Civil Rights Memorial Center in Montgomery, Ala.
This year’s focus on Nevada started with a professor’s interest in water rights and conservation. That focus broadened to include the wedding, entertainment and prostitution industries.
Nevada is the only state where prostitution is legal. Brothels are allowed in 10 Nevada counties, though not in Las Vegas.
The Chicken Ranch is located 60 miles outside of Las Vegas
