Temple University unveils porn studies course on sex and ‘the patriarchy’: No ‘right vs. wrong’ perspective

Course instructor Jennifer Pollitt claimed the course will help fill in gaps in students' sexual education.

Temple University in Pennsylvania has started its first "porn-studies course" this semester, aiming to teach students about sex outside of a moral, "right vs wrong" framework.

Additionally, the new course, which has become popular at the school, will serve as a "jumping off point" to talk about woke issues like "race, ability, and the patriarchy," the Business Insider reported after talking to the course’s instructor, Professor Jennifer Pollitt.

The Insider piece described the course, titled "Social Perspectives and Digital Pornography: The Other Sex Ed," as one in which both undergraduate and graduate students will learn and discuss "sexuality, intimacy, and power dynamics."

"Temple University (Temple or TU) is a public state-related research university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1884 by the Baptist minister Russell Conwell and his congregation Grace Baptist Church of Philadelphia then called Baptist Temple.[5] On May 12, 1888, it was renamed the Temple College of Philadelphia. By 1907, the institution revised its institutional status and was incorporated as a research university.[6][7]"

Institutions that provide these kinds of "courses" should be fully defunded - also no government grants, loans, should be valid for students attending an institution with this kind of "education." To think people will awarded degrees for "studying" this.

Pollitt explained that in addition to teaching about sex, the class aims to use pornography as a foray into discussion about progressive topics. Insider wrote, "She said her goal in creating the course was to use digital pornography as a jumping-off point to talk about race, ability, and the patriarchy."

Yeesh. Moronic doesn't even begin to describe how incredibly stupid this is.

1) There is no such thing as Right or Wrong.
2) Men are wrong.
3) We must crush the patriarchy.

This should appeal to Temple’s most famous alumni.

Schaeffer was prescient.
“If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

yeah - do they rely on alumni donors at least in part? Do they approve of this and want to keep contributing?

Mark Levin is one of their graduates.

After the students graduate, what kind of careers do they expect their degrees to get them?

Classical education is barely on life support.

But it remains very pricey.

The course once you get past the “porn” gets into the “power dynamics” which is the old-fashioned Marxist-Leninist Proletariat versus Bourgeoisie in a new package.

The exploitation of women in pornography is a progressive value.

Examples of courses of “higher learning” like this make the value of a college diploma highly questionable.

“…the new course, which has become popular at the new school…”

Imagine that.

Why are the nations in an uproar [in turmoil against God],
And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?
The kings of the earth take their stand;
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,
“Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint]
And cast away their cords [of control] from us.”
He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion];
The [Sovereign] Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].
Psalms 2:1-5 Amplified Version
