The Drexel University School of Law professor who recently sent students a video link of an explicit porn video has surfaced in The Washington Post’s op-ed section to proclaim that she is embarrassed — and, of course, really angry at the students who viewed and then forwarded the shocking video.
The professor, Lisa McElroy, is also blaming tabloid journalists who “ran with this story because they knew they would get page views.”
The original video kerfuffle occurred about a month ago.
“I thought this article on brief writing would be interesting to all of you,” the text of McElroy’s email with the video link read.
The 13-minute, 21-second video at the website Pornhub.com is very appropriately titled “She Loves Her Anal Beads.”
And The Daily Caller can vouch for the fact that the woman in the video — who is not McElroy — definitely does enjoy the beads.
With not a hint of irony, McElroy’s 1,054-word op-ed in one of America’s major national newspapers claims that “there was nothing newsworthy about” her porn email. She also casts many, many people — but not herself — in a negative light for the incident.
“[N]o one questioned the dignity of those who forwarded the unintended post,” McElroy complains. “No one asked why, if they found it so offensive, students opened the link, with its unmistakable Web address, and watched the video long enough to know what it contained.”
The Drexel professor also criticizes “the so-called journalists who wrote salacious stories” about her faux pas. She is upset that local journalists “waited outside” her office to speak with students and managed to find and call her “unpublished cellphone number.”
McElroy also blames news consumers who read the story. “[N]o one questioned the dignity of the intended audience,” the professor suggests.
“Tabloid journalists ran with this story because they knew they would get page views. How would they know that? Because they know their readers and viewers — and they know that scandal, sex and shame are irresistible to those who devour their posts,” the Dartmouth- and Harvard-educated law professor at Drexel, America’s 127th-best law school, declared.
“What happened was, in the grand scheme, pretty trivial,” McElroy argues in op-ed. “My students are adults. The link was quickly removed. There was nothing illegal in the video. The post occurred in the same two-month period when the movie ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ grossed almost $570 million worldwide. Yet, because it was porn and I’m a law professor, news organizations spread the story around the world.”
McElroy also notes that she has been investigated and cleared in a Title IX investigation over “Beadgate,” as students at Drexel has called the scandal.
“See you in class,” the tenured professor concludes.
In 2010, a happier time for the professor, McElroy appeared as an effusive contestant on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” She won $5,000.
Due to the international nature of the Internet, Internet pornography carries with it special issues with regard to the law. There is no one set of laws that apply to the distribution, purchase, or possession of Internet pornography. This means that, for example, even if a pornographer is legally distributing pornography, the person receiving it may not be legally doing so due to local laws.
So it states that the pornography itself is not illegal but the person viewing it in certain communities could be.
Sort of like the use of radar detectors in some states is illegal but it is not illegal to own them in those states.
In my class at SFSU entitled “Variations of Human Sexuality” we watched porn, but not the kind a normal human would be interested in. Now, every time I drive past a barnyard I get a shiver of evil.
There were also visiting speakers, such as a homosexual street hustler and a washed up porn actress.
The class was taught by an AIDS-ridden homosexual pedophile who made the comment on TV that when a boy is raped/molested by an older man, the boy can actually benefit from the experience.
Why these people are not executed I do not know.
Maybe she is cockeyed because of all the anal beads in her butt.
I think she was trolling to find a bead-partner.
Just WOW!
And why was such a depraved topic a requirement for your major?
Yes: "I had inadvertently sent my law school students a link to a porn site [...] (And if you’re hoping to find out here how that happened, among the many possibilities that have been raised by gleeful commentators, I’m sorry to tell you you’re going to be disappointed.)"
When I was in university 20 years ago, sending people pornography would have arguably constituted a form of sexual harrassment.
If I remember correctly, didn't discussing the details of pornography factor into the sexual-harrassment accusations against Clarence Thomas? Pretty much the same thing. The leftards want to have their cake and eat it too.

I never knew it, you are correct. Hayden had a brief association with the commies just like John Wayne did. Based on what I just read, he dumped them after the war.

And anyone who argues that propogation of pornography is exercising the Founders' intention of "free speech" is also engaging in mental masturbation.
