Is Porn Becoming a Potentially-Hazardous Part of Mainstream College Curricula in America?

Nov. 15, 2012 8:14am Billy Hallowell

Pornography Has Entered Mainstream College Curricula in America

Image Credit: Sinclair

There’s a fascinating new report in WORLD Magazine about a phenomenon called “porn curriculum.” The term refers to explicit material that is making its way into America’s college and university classrooms. While the notion may seem too bizarre to be true, some experts claim that there is, indeed, an influx of pornography being integrated into secular professors’ curricula.

Earlier this year, TheBlaze did report about one anecdotal example — the allegation that Fresno State Public Health Professor Peggy Gish showed her students “Advanced Sexual Techniques, Volume One,” a video that touts sexually-explicit audio and video messaging. But according to WORLD, this isn’t an isolated incident.

The Christian magazine claims that, at New York University in New York City, New York, students have discussed pornographic comic books for a course called “Anthropology of the Unconscious.” At Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, too, students have delved into sexual topics for a class entitled, “Doing it, Getting it, Seeing it, Reading it.”

And not to outdo the other examples, but the WORLD report claims that a class at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, once offered a course called “Pornography: Writings of Prostitutes.” If the name of the class still leaves you with doubts about what’s covered, consider that students were asked to create their own pornographic work for their final projects. While the class isn’t currently listed on the college’s web site, past media coverage will provide you with an overview of content.

While these courses may seem bizarre, the idea behind them is that they allegedly help prepare students for a world in which they will encounter graphic art, ideas and other related phenomena. By exposing pupils to these ideas early on, the notion is that they are then better prepared to contend with them in the real world.

But evangelical anti-porn groups and Christian scholars believe that the porn industry can be explored and analyzed without simply making young people comfortable with the explicit and potentially-addicting imagery that is presented.

“A healthy study of human sexuality and the human body in a biblical context is the best way to approach issues related to pornography,” explained Covenant College psychology professor Kevin Eames. ”It provides a basis of comparison by demonstrating the good against the counterfeit, which is what pornography is…I treat pornography in the category of illegitimate pleasures that can be addictive and that is a counterfeit for both sexual intimacy and true joy.”

Despite some push-back against porn in the classroom, many students embrace it — as do their faculty — as a form of art. WORLD has more about the extent to which adult materials have made their way into U.S. classrooms:

A growing number of scholars are pushing the study of porn in a variety of academic fields, from literature to film, law to technology, and anthropology to women’s studies. Last year, 50 schools offered courses that included in-depth pornography content. The list of schools promoting porn in the classroom includes many of the nation’s most prestigious secular colleges-NYU, Yale, Harvard, Columbia and Berkeley.

If the state wants to give these universities (and the federal government for that matter) money then it needs to come with strings attached. People who are against this sort of thing need to stand up and speak out about how their tax dollars are being used.

  Ok there are stupid reports here and then there is just plain stupid. perhaps you should identify the courses and majors that might utilize human sexuality material. and of course the notion that human sexuality is somehow a religious based aspect of our lives is even stupider.

  I worked for Good-Humor Ice cream as a vendor in the 1700′s. we sold our product at the University in DC will not mention the University but the Grateful Dead were preforming. I asked one of the students the cost and I was told over $100 thousand. When I asked how they would pay for the concert they told me that they would make this back in less than one month showing porn movies .

THere is a huge difference between studying anatomy which includes the obvious-
and cloaking behaviour and science in a porngraphic context. The latter has been the norm for many years; it has just surfaced because many more are vocal, both for and against. Most schools are lewd peddlers of base thought (leftist propaganda) so why not include the ‘hite’ report as quality curriculum?

I am not convinced however that the ‘biblical’ approach is the answer- you cant have ‘unbelievers’ teaching what is abnormal to them-would not be a sane approach, nor should you expect them to understand. The porn issue is not necessarily spiritual, but moral. My conscience tells me it is wrong to lust after my neighbors wife- there is a built in mechanism that convicts me, no chapter and verse needed. By the way, they with bibles have been known to be the greatest offenders. Porn is an equal opportunity snare.

Agreed, porn has destroyed minds and lives, and honesty is the best antidote.

It appears to me that our institutions of higher learning are selling pornography to their students. How much training does it take to teach a class on pornography? I can find professors to teach pornography at any state or federal prison. Our colleges are charging students for classes on pornography: What’s next? How about we replace porn classes with successful marriage courses, and teach our impressionable minds with courses on how to treat a spouse with kindness and how to create a successful marriage that lasts a life time?

  It ALL STARTS WITH PARENTS(2) TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN AT HOME. I was taught what “study” was and how to use it during life…BY MY 2-PAERENTS!! I started kindergarten knowing how to study and to practice “remembering” and useing what I learned. Early-on, many of my “friends” did-homework and played-only after each schoolday! I read magazines about cars and electronics, and some science and sciencefiction! As I grew-up, I saw many “fictions” become commonplace…and some of my past-friends join gangs, loot,steal,and pillage! These had NO extra money beyond their allowances(besides what they could steal). I had “sidejobs” after school and some weekends and was substanually grattified with some extra cash for new biketires and better lunches at school(etc). Though my life I have taught a few kids and older-people many “how-to’s” to give them a “hobby” or fix their own stuff(while observing all proper proceedures). A few months ago, I recived an e-mail from a friend who said:”Guess what I just fixed on my tube-stereo!!…and IT WORKS!!”

  GWhiz .. absolutely correct. Idle hands are the devil’s tools .. I had a very similar upbringing and have seen many of my friends get tied up in drugs and many of them are now dead. I pride myself on learning something new as often as possible … from leaning to sew, fiberglass, play musical instruments, garden, farm, cook … etc .. and people who come to my house are amazed .. which turns into income too. It’s a cool feeling when people ask you how to do stuff … instead of .. can you get me a hit.
  The more you know ….

  @pantloadian –
  
  I’m sorry that you don’t understand our position on the destructive nature of pornography and how horrible of a sin it truly is.
  
  One of our recent Prophets described it like this:
  
  “Pornography robs its victims of self-respect and of an appreciation of the beauties of life. It tears down those who indulge and pulls them into a slough of evil thoughts and possibly evil deeds. It seduces, destroys, and distorts the truth about love and intimacy. It is more deadly than a foul disease. Pornography is as addictive and self-destructive as illicit drugs, and it literally destroys the personal relationships of those who become its slaves…it should be avoided like the deadliest of plagues.”
  
  I have serious doubts as to the validity of your averments, However, it is true that certain members of EVERY religion have fallen prey to the temptation of pornography. If so, they should immediately repent and “go, and sin no more.” (John 8:11).

  @saranda and pantloadian,
  
  Seriously, its very irresponsible to simply say thing with not citations or foundation. I just did a quick internet search on your averment that Utah has the highest teen suicide rate – and the website I found places Utah at #36 not #1.
  
  http://www.statemaster.com/graph/hea_tee_dea_rat-health-teen-death-rate
  
  Since Alaska has the highest teen suicide rate and the top religions there are protestant and evangelical christians — will you still make the same averment? If so, your logic is faulty; if not, your bias has been exposed.

  Sorry! I just looked at my citation again and it is for teen deaths overall – not only suicide. So I’ll keep an eye out for a more specific study. However, the point of my reply still stands; you can’t blame the most popular religion for all the problems in that area (i.e. chicago’s largest general religion is Christianity… so should Christianity be blamed for the extremely high rate of murder there???)

  I live in Utah and the porn numbers are right. More people download porn in Utah then any other state. The reason, they aren’t ‘allowed” to look at it. It is the same reason that Mormons drink , it’s forbidden. Tell someone NO and that is the exact thing they will do.
  And trust me, there are just as many, if not more, degenerates in Utah then in any state or city out there. There are freaks coming out of the woodwork in Salt Lake city.

  We Texas Mormons are strong.
  
  We had a member from Nauvoo (a town Joseph Smith founded) visiting our ward and he told me something along the lines of, ‘Wow, you guys are on it down here!!’
  
  I can’t speak for all the wards or stakes, but our area is doing just fine,
  
  There are a lot of ‘social’ Mormons, but don’t worry: there are many more who take it seriously and live accordingly – especially here in Texas.
  
  BTW, it goes to show that we aren’t the ‘dictatorial’ type of religion people think we are. We only teach the correct principles, it’s up to the individual to exercise their agency to conform.

What I would really like to have reported are all the psychologists and psychiatrists discuss the dangers of porn – the changes in brain function (addictive behavior) and social / interpersonal behavior problems. I’m really tired of hearing about “Biblical” teachings. I get it. The Bible is really old and there are many teachings that are appropriate simply because they are time-trialed and humans haven’t really changed in thousands of years. That is great, but there are many people who are turned off by the whole Bible thing, especially college students. Can’t the Blaze drop the religious crap and present a counter argument that is sensible and non-religious? Really, the best you guys can muster is some guy from a Christian College?
Ugh. We’re going to lose because we can’t be flexible.

  Also, regarding your statement: ‘…humans haven’t REALLY changed in thousands of years’, (emphasis added) I would argue we HAVEN’T changed AT ALL. Therefore the ‘teachings’ of the Bible ‘are appropriate simply because they are time-trialed’.

  Melika is correct. There are multiple studies that show the destructive and abusive potential of porn. This article could have explored or mentioned more on peer reviewed studies of the effect of porn and if such destructive aspects are being explored in these curriculum. If these are elective courses in Sociology or Psychology then they might be appropriate for someone looking to pursue a degree in marriage therapy, or general or even criminal psychology. Unfortunately I have the sneaking suspicion that more than a handful of these courses are merely an opportunity for sick and twisted minds to have a perverted hayday with impressionable co-eds as an audience.

  According to Ron Jeremy porn stars believe in God just as much as well. The point of the story isn’t, or shouldn’t have been religious, but rather the corruption and perversion of academic scholarship. The difference is in a study of porn, and a “study” of porn. I get the impression that many of these courses are simply perversions, and sick and twisted shock value courses under a thin guise of academic scholarship and with the full support of the State.

Just imagine a world where young adults thanks to our college professors are indoctrinated and taught in what is proper thinking on sexuality, acts, benefits, options….

How much a year will I be paying for my young adult children to be told what their views on such a private matter should be?

I know this sort of education is exactly what my children will need to be a huge success in the future of this our country! So proud we have professors out there who truly get that preparing and educating our adults of tomorrow for the challenges they will face in this nation is priority!!!

Is college home schooling an option???

This is not simply a lib and progressive thing. This is the state of humanity. I would not call Osama socially liberal, but he loved his porn. This is true of many Christian men of the cloth and now women as well. Porn is an addictive just as heroin is. As you watch it your sensitivity goes down and you crave ever more quantities and ever more vile pictures. I am not immune.

Evil is overtaking our world. Porn is evil, sex is not. Evil always perverts the best of humanity into the worst.

  Sin is an imaginary disease created to sell you an imaginary cure. No doubt there are some people that get addicted quite easily to porn as they have addictive personalities. I dare say that most people can watch it occasionally and can keep it from being a major factor in their lives. No doubt some crackers on this board can find some quotes that dispel what I’m saying but I could go find a bevy of opinions that say porn is harmless. Why conservatives get so worked up over anything sexual is beyond me. STAY OUT OF MY BEDROOM, you nosy rectal pores!

Once again an odd, out of touch christian view of the world. The archaic, almost embarrassing view some people have about sex is shocking. The puritanical stance that the discussion of sex in a non private setting is wrong is just wrong. These are colleges, with adults, learning about an adult subject. There is nothing wrong with it and hopefully it will give some students a better understanding of human sexuality. Open discussions about sex will help free many from the guilt instilled in them from religion. It’s another example of unfettered dissemination of information being the enemy of extremist religious views.

“A healthy study of human sexuality and the human body in a biblical context is the best way to approach issues related to pornography,”….hahhaha!! Really!? What kind of a child says this?

  What’s needed are colleges that teach young adults the skills necessary for useful jobs in society. Frankly, I don’t think working in the porn industry constitutes a very useful job, and therefore it is a frivolous, self-indulgent pursuit to study it. And for this kind of education kids are taking out student loans that will put them in debt for years?

  @VAMAN
  
  The guilt you speak of is called a ‘conscience’…
  
  Our bodily lusts, appetites and emotions are not to control us, rather we are to control them.
  
  As we learn self-control, we become better people; we gain confidence in ourselves, trust from others, and a deeper understanding of what it’s like to be human.
  
  Many religions are man’s quest for perfection. Of these, many preach control over the body, not submission to it.
  
  That is the source of true joy and happiness, as opposed to pleasure; to act, and not be acted upon.

When a society focuses on ‘pleasures’ rather than it’s ‘problems’ it’s on it’s way to a down fall.
Let’s don’t focus on how expensive school is, or that once done you won’t have a job in the field you trained for, your education is so sub-par that it would be funny if it wasn’t so depressing, so look at the T & A and forget your worries. Welcome to Weimar, a collapsing government in progress.

  Site your sources for these statistics you claim are “proven” facts. Methinks you make them up to suit your agenda. More lies from the left.

  I bet a lot of LDS peeps read this article. It seems that just the mention of the word Porn sends them into a tizzy. Do as I say not as I do!

MBE then by all means LEAVE. Go to huffpo…mor won’t your handlers keep you from bumping up the unemployments… 439,000 today for those watching… Kind of makes you wonder about that under 8% leading to November 6…

Sorry gang but most of the time men like watching women and women like watching men… Acting like its not true or is somehow wrong is a step closer to making women wear burkas than I want to be. Don’t want to admit human nature? Don’t watch. Don’t enroll. But relax

Becoming? Its been a part of college life for the past 30 yrs. Get with the times you religeous zealots!

Hazardous? Its called freedom of expression. You uptight religeous prudes wouldnt know what sex is if it knocked you on the side of your head. So its best you dont offer a opinion on something you dont have any knowledge of.

Wow really, the students embrace it? You mean 18+ year olds with hormones raging;where the majority really use college and an outlit for booze and boobs… embrace porn in the classroom? I think when I was that age, I’d call it art too.. Hell, I’d call it whatever it took to keep it. How retarded can you be.

The immorality of the libs and progressives sinks to new lows every day. Time to pull all the kids from k-12 and any so called college with university in its name.

  So you’re a proponent of illiteracy or “home schooling”. Either way, your kid is screwed.

  VAMAN I know kids who were home school and when they went to public high school they had 3.5 GPA and an 3.65 GPA and one was on the honor court. Heck my sister was home schooled instead of middle school and got on the Who’s who in High school with a 3.25 GPA. If I understand correctly your saying homes schooled kids are illiterate I believe your mistaken. Put a kid who was seriously home schooled next to a public school kid (remember the seriously qualifier) most of the time the home schooled kid is more advanced in studies.

  @vanman, “…a study drawing data for the 2007-2008 school year from multiple standardized testing services. Once again, the national average percentile scores were higher [for home schooled children] in all subject areas by at least 34 percentile points, and as high as 39 percentile points. Factors such as parental college degrees, how much parents spent on education, level of state regulation, and sex of the students made little difference in the range of scores in all areas among the homeschooled children. ”
  Illiteracy is a major problem for those that shuffle their children off to the State to be educated. The teachers protesting in Chicago had the wonderful distinction of having 80% of their students lag behind in reading skills and comprehension. I would also hazard a guess that public school children commit crimes and engage in sexual promiscuity, deviancy, and illicit substance abuse at rates that are astronomical compared to home schooled children.

  VAMAN, home schooled kids are by far much more intelligent than any kid going through the federal education system. The proof is in the pudding bud.

A sex story to start off the morning.

Is theblaze modeling itself after 60 minutes of the huffington post.

It’s always been the latter.

This website should be renamed thesleaze.

  @MBE: “this website should be renamed ‘the sleaze’..” Here’s an idea MaryBeth… rename YOURSELF ‘the sleaze” :) Why do you come here anyway, if you hate it so much? Oh wait! You need to make some troll money! Well, if my reply just earned you a dollar… go get yourself a cup of coffee.. on second thought, that dollar won’t buy jack doo-doo anymore.. and with the help of your annointed king.. it will only get worse. Thanks MBE… thanks a whole helluvalot.

  Sounds like the two of your received your titillation for the morning.
  
  How long did you both spend on the stories about the shirtless guy.?
  
  Theblaze goes out of its way to feature male nudity to appeal to it’s primarily male Republican readership.

Hazardous? No. But if you need a guidebook and college “courses” for better sex… Then please, for all that is holy, don’t ever reproduce.
