Plans for popular US chastity speaker Jason Evert to tour multiple schools and venues in Ireland this week faced online uproar and scaremongering that ended in his entire tour being cancelled. Jason was scheduled to speak at multiple schools in the Dublin area, a retreat in University College Dublin, and a number of venues in Waterford.

Two Catholic private schools, Blackrock College and Rosemont, and the Tower Hotel in Waterford were the first to cancel Jason’s talks as the result of a deeply misleading online article.
