In recent weeks, "Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge" - an X-rated swashbuckler with hundreds of special effects - has been screened in campus theaters at the University of California at Los Angeles, Northwestern University, Carnegie Mellon University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Southern Connecticut University. The University of California at Davis will show "Pirates" on Thursday evening, the University of Maryland at midnight Saturday.

"I'm always impressed by the open-minded attitude in our country's universities. Sex is a topic which should be discussed in the open. It is no longer taboo," said Ali Joone, who wrote and directed the film and serves as chief executive officer of ...a California-based adult-film studio that has produced more than 300 titles.

The company is mainstreaming its racy fare, offering films to student activities offices around the country. Though policies vary, campus officials do not forbid pornographic materials to be screened for the most part, though some administrations stipulate that attendees must be older than 18....

I wonder if they planned to screen the 143 minute X/XXX version, or the 92 minute R version.

It’s been going on for thirty years or more. Not really news.

I think I would find my kid a different school.

I would let my adult aged-children make adult decisions and hope that I have given them the moral strength to make the right decision.

Actually, they know the difference but have set out to bring ‘change’ to the society, degenerating it into what will make them more money when accepted as the norm.

Yes, at the University of Maryland’s Hoff Theatre (among other places), anybody over 18 can watch pr0n. They can also vote and sign up to defend our country. They just can’t have a beer (under 21) or smoke in a bar (regardless of age) in Maryland.

What’s wrong with this effing picture???

The inconsistent recognition that too many in college are not mature enough for any of the aforementioned subjects.
