The assistant professor faced backlash over comments they made regarding their research into pedophilia.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Old Dominion University announced they had taken action against Dr. Allyn Walker after an interview with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prostasia.info\/\">Prostasia Foundation<\/a>. The organization claims to be a \u201cSan Francisco-based child protection organization\u201d that also \u201csupports the sale of child-like sex dolls, advocates in support of the sexual depiction of minors in drawings and cartoons and believes sex offense registries don\u2019t protect children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, Walker suggested calling pedophiles \u201cmaps\u201d or \u201cminor attracted persons\u201d because the term is less stigmatized. The Prostasia Foundation\u2019s executive director has claimed this type of behavior isn\u2019t a choice and people need to know how to prevent them from acting.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Prostasia Conversations: Allyn Walker\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f1Bax5uQEVs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Walker\u2019s interview prompted backlash from students who protested and called for the professor to be fired. Many online also came out in opposition to the comments, saying this is normalizing perversion and putting children\u2019s safety at risk to protect pedophiles\u2019 feelings.<\/p>\n<p>The university has strongly condemned Walker\u2019s remarks and said the decision to place Walker on leave was to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment. Meanwhile, ODU President Brian Hemphill said \u201cI want to state in the strongest terms possible that child sexual abuse is morally wrong and has no place in our society.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mich-secy-of-state-candidate-gets-trump-endorsement\/\">Mich.
