A new bronze statue commemorating the controversial sex researcher Alfred Kinsey was erected at Indiana University (IU) last week. 
IU released a <a href="https://news.iu.edu/stories/2022/09/iub/releases/09-alfred-kinsey-sculpture.html">press statement</a> on its website on Friday praising Kinsey’s pioneering research in human sexuality, but critics believe data he gathered involving the sexual abuse of children make him unworthy of celebration. 
The life-size sculpture was commissioned to mark the 75th anniversary of the Kinsey Institute, a sex and reproduction research facility at IU. According to the press release, the statue&#8217;s installation on the Bloomington campus demonstrates the “ongoing commitment to equity regarding sexual diversity established by Kinsey&#8217;s research.”
&#8220;Dr. Kinsey left us with the extraordinary legacy of his endless scientific curiosity, his unwavering commitments to academic freedom and his passion for understanding humanity&#8217;s sexual diversity,&#8221; said Justin Garcia, executive director of the Kinsey Institute. &#8220;This spectacular sculpture honors Kinsey&#8217;s international scholarly and public impact, reminding us of the importance of the ongoing research, education and historical preservation occurring daily at today&#8217;s vibrant Kinsey Institute.&#8221;
But not everyone views Kinsey as a figure worthy of accolades. Dr. Miriam Grossman, a child psychiatrist appearing in The Daily Wire documentary, “What Is a Woman,” opposes the statue honoring Kinsey. “That paradigm of depravity, lies, and sickness? I want to say I don’t believe this but sadly, I do,” Grossman told The Daily Wire.

The University of Indiana has unveiled a statue honoring Alfred Kinsey. Kinsey was a degenerate pedophile lunatic who conducted “research” on the orgasms of children and babies. One of the most prolific groomers of the 20th century. No wonder the Left honors him. <a href="https://t.co/iR4FQT5kJW">pic.twitter.com/iR4FQT5kJW</a>

Several of Kinsey’s published works have been the subject of controversy decades after their release. Two books on human sexual behavior, &#8220;Sexual Behavior in the Human Male&#8221; (1948) and &#8220;Sexual Behavior in the Human Female&#8221; (1953), contain data on pre-adolescent orgasms from children as young as two months old. Tables 30 through 34 of the male volume, in particular, have drawn concerns of child abuse. Table 34, titled &#8220;Examples of multiple orgasms in pre-adolescent males,” includes the notation, “Duration of stimulation before climax; observations timed with a second hand or stop watch. Ages range from five months of age to adolescence.” 
<a href="https://erlc.com/resource-library/articles/alfred-kinsey-a-brief-summary-and-critique/">Some believe</a> that the data collection could have only been obtained by direct observation or participation in child abuse, mainly because of the mention of a stop watch or second hand on a clock to record the time it took for each child to reach orgasm. 
The Kinsey Institute <a href="https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Alfred_Kinsey">reportedly</a> had denied these claims on their website, &#8220;[Kinsey] did not carry out experiments on children; he did not hire, collaborate, or persuade people to carry out experiments on children.&#8221; 
John Bancroft, the former director of the Kinsey Institute, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/12/08/kinsey-report-fast-and-loose/b058e754-34c5-4c62-87fb-7ee1cd42d625/">contends</a> that all of Kinsey’s data concerning children and adolescents came not from experimentation but from a single pedophile who kept a diary of his experiences with 317 pre-adolescent boys. Bancroft said in an interview in 1995, &#8220;the material in the tables came from one man, an extraordinary man with incredible numbers of sexual experiences on which he kept very careful notes.&#8221;
Despite all of the controversies surrounding Kinsey, Dr. Kenneth Zucker, an American-Canadian psychologist and sexologist, believes his body of research as a whole is worthy of a tributary statue. “Kinsey conducted ground-breaking research in the field of sexual science,” Zucker told The Daily Wire. “Did the man, as Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) might say, have his limitations? Sure. But who doesn&#8217;t? I don&#8217;t understand what the concern is.”
