The Porn Profs' Plans for Your Kids
By Dr. Dennis Jarrard
From The Morality in Media Newsletter, November-December 1998
Note: Dr. Jarrard was Chairman of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
I recently spent a day in Hell.
I attended the World Pornography Conference (August 6-9, 1998) at the Sheraton Universal Hotel in Los Angeles, and I was probably the only pro-decency person among the several hundred people who took part.
"Eroticism and the First Amendment" was the title of the confab, which drew advocates and defenders of porn from as far away as Russia, Japan, South Africa, and Australia. For eight very long hours I rubbed shoulders and even broke bread with top obscenity lawyers, the porn industry's political shills from the ACLU, porn video "actresses," and "academics" from major universities, particularly California State University at Northridge (CSUN). The town of Northridge is the world capital of porn video production.
The purpose of the proceedings seemed to be to advance a plan of the incredibly wealthy, $8 billion-a-year porn industry — namely, to get the public to accept the now-discredited Prof. Alfred Kinsey's anything-goes approach to sex as the basis for granting teaching credentials to all sex "educators" in both our public and our religious schools. Judging from what I heard, the plan is well under way.
I focused on the talks on "research and effects." The "academics" remarks were meant to provide the necessary pseudo-scientific intellectual basis for this all-out attack upon morality and reason. What these "intellectuals" said should frighten us citizens into action.
The first talk I heard was by CSUN's librarian, who described her efforts to protect the school's tax-supported porn collection. The only "academic" defenses she gave for this porn pile were "free speech," "academic freedom," the "First Amendment," and opposing "censorship."
In the next "academic" session I heard, the professor quoted tax-supported "researcher" Dr. Ed Donnerstein of the University of California at Santa Barbara. Donnerstein maintains that only violence in porn is dangerous. The speaker did not mention that porn was a form of violence in itself. Nor did he mention the money that Donnerstein has taken from Playboy and other porn interests to do some of his "research."
Dr. William Griffitt of Kansas State University informed us that porn caused no adverse effects, and that, why, even education can be distasteful to some — e.g., showing explicit sex films in the classroom. He cited the discredited, ACLU-dominated Presidential Commission on Pornography (1970) as showing minimal effects from making and using porn.
When I asked about the more recent Reagan-era [Attorney General Meese] Commission that found porn harmful, he dismissed it as politically inspired. He carefully dodged the issue of the link between porn and public health and safety problems such as rape, venereal disease, AIDS, incest, serial murders, child molestation, and sex addiction.
Griffitt quoted those "scholars" who support him, and largely dismissed the findings of Drs. Cline, Weaver, Zillman and others whose research points to severe harm from porn use.
He said not a word about the enormous increase in sex-related pathologies since Kinsey, as documented by Dr. Judith Reisman in her explosive new book, Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences. I asked Griffitt about Kinsey, whose famous "research" Dr. Reisman has shown was a fraud that involved hundreds of sex crimes against children. He saw Kinsey as a very fine researcher, a real contributor to learning and teaching about sex. Porn, Dr. Griffitt assured us, was a valuable research tool.
One professor from California State University at Long Beach told how he brought "porn stars" into his classroom as guest lecturers. He told us this shielded him from direct criticism. (Conference organizers brought out porn "actresses" to speak, too; no one talked about how many of these women use drugs, die young, or are lesbians who were abused by their fathers.) The objective, scholarly title of one California State instructor's lecture was, "There Is No Relationship Between Pornography and Violence Against Anyone Or Anything."
On and on they droned. The "research" of "sexperts" such as Kinsey, Masters and Johnson, Wardell Pomeroy and their direct descendants is being peddled endlessly. It comes from Vern Bullough's Center for Sex Research, from the other Kinsey-spawned sex "research" and/or teacher credentialing centers such as those in San Francisco and at CSUN, and from many other "centers" and "institutes" for sex "research" and credentialing.
But what about the real world? What about all the academic studies that show a direct connection between porn use and sex crimes and disease? None of the "scholars" mentioned Dr. Reisman's monumental findings about what they are doing to put our children and our society in the hands of Kinseyite cranks and their wealthy porn czar patrons.
Even the so-called legitimate entertainment industry received praise at this gathering, for its use of "erotic" images in Hollywood movies since Tinseltown discarded the movie decency code in the 1960s. Getting dirt on the big screen made it much easier to spread obscenity worldwide.
Did you know that 25 percent of all the videos sold and rented in the United States last year were porn videos? Or that organized crime controls 90 percent of the distribution of porn videos in America, including those in your friendly suburban video store? Or that the Clinton Administration ended almost all federal prosecutions of the porn czars? In large measure, you can thank the people at this conference.
The speakers definitely did not bring up Dr. Reisman's 30 years of research into how the Kinseyan sexology societies and teacher-accrediting agencies have metastasized sex "educators" out into our children's classrooms through such devices as their "Commission on Accreditation."
None of the learned professors pointed out the obvious similarities between this process and the way Soviet "educators" disseminated Lysenko's pseudo-scientific Communist theories on the brain, and Germany's teaching institutions accredited the "researchers" of Nazi racial theories.
These supposedly unbiased "academics" did not want to discuss Dr. Reisman's chronicle of the damage done by the Kinseyans through the incredible explosion of sex crimes and venereal disease (not to mention AIDS) that we have suffered since the 1950s, when the obscenity laws were still enforced and we had the movie production code.
They did not want the public to learn what she has written about the incredible and immediate impact of porn on the user, how he literally "grows new brain" whether he wants to or not. Nor did they want to admit that one of Kinsey's closest collaborators, Hermann Muller, did his "research" under the Nazi and Communist regimes, which could easily provide children and adults as "subjects."
The Kinsey model of loveless, dangerous, anything-goes sex is now the only model that teachers get credentialed to teach in America's schools. We parents and taxpayers must de-credential the Kinsey-clone sex "educators" who are teaching our children that condoms should replace chastity, that lust is better than love.
The damage that the "sexperts" are doing to our boys and girls is no less harmful than that done by Soviet and Nazi "educators" in the 1930s and 1940s. In those cases, crackpot pseudo-science led to the deaths of millions. In our country, venereal disease, AIDS, rape, murder, molestation, incest, sex addiction and the other effects of "harmless" porn are killing the minds, souls and even the lives of countless young people, not to mention adults.
A determined citizenry can still make a difference. Read up on Kinsey, porn, and the sex "education" industry. Support Dr. Reisman's "R.S.V.P. America" program to end Kinseyan "sex ed." Join a no-compromise anti-porn group. Educate your clergyman. Call the talk shows. Contact your lawmaker.
It is late in the day. As Dr. Reisman says, it's high time we pried the cold, dead hands of Dr. Kinsey off our children.
Thank you for the info. It definitely makes sense. I just had not heard of a direct connection before and hadn't really stopped to think it through.
