Take that, The Man! We here at the University of Maryland value free speech above everything, including common decency, and you cannot deny us the right to screen triple X pornographic movies on campus, even if you threaten to withhold funding for doing said screening. Special kudos to the brave administrators that showed up to the screening to "support" the student body in protesting this heinous miscarriage of justice. And, no, I seriously doubt that the only reason that anyone showed up to the screening was to actually watch the porno flick. Well, except for maybe that fellow walking behind me tittering into his phone like a, well, pervert, telling his buddy, "Dude, get down here! They're screening a porno!" And how could I forget those brave professors of sexuality, one of whom exclaimed "I don't believe [sexual content] should be censored in my classroom. [The university's] job is to work together to contextualize it."
(Professor: *handing out magazines and DVDs* Class, here is pornography. I will not explain to you the addictive nature of it, or how it is a complete debasement of sexuality, or even how the pornography industry destroys the lives of those who participate in it. No, that is not my job. My job is to provide. Let the university contextualize it. In fact, the university is placing it in context. Tomorrow night is a screening of a porno. Anyone over 18 can go. We support pornography. Repeat. We support pornography.)
In other news, DOWN WITH NON-DENOMINATIONAL PRAYER AT GRADUATION! SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! THIS IS A PUBLIC INSTITUTION, FOR PETE'S SAKE!
(It's not like I'm a big prayer-in-schools/inaugurations kinda guy (they usually turn out weird), but the juxtaposition of these two articles in the Diamondback was too perfect to pass up. But, seriously, porno screenings? That's where my student fees went?)
