A private liberal arts college in Utah will offer a Pornography course to its students in the 2022-2023 academic year, and students will "watch pornographic films together" as part of the class.
Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA will run the course for the first time. The course offers three credits for the 'Film 300 Program'. The description of the course reads: "We will watch pornographic films together and discuss the genderisation of race, class and gender as an experimental, radical art."
As people are coming to know about this course, they started reacting to it.
One user tweeted: "You lost when you called it an" art form. "
"I'm sorry, this is a hoax! The second study 'Effect' is one thing!," wrote another user.
While other users shared,
"Watching pornography together as a class is absolutely and utterly disgusting !!!"
"While there are so many legitimate problems to be solved in the world, and there are so many things to learn, I am amazed that Westminster is offering this kind of trash course to students."
The college said in a statement to KSL NewsRadio, "Westminster College occasionally offers such elective courses as an opportunity to analyze social issues. As part of this analysis, Westminster College and universities across the county often examine potentially offensive topics, such as pornography, to better understand their prevalence and impact. The details of these courses, while worrying for some readers, help students decide whether they want to get involved in serious investigations into controversial topics."
