A Pennsylvania university unveiled a new course to its gender, sexuality and women’s studies program which focuses on digital pornography, according to a Tuesday news release.
Temple University (TU) will offer “Social Perspectives in Digital Pornography: The Other Sex Education” during the spring semester to “discover how internet porn influences students and their relationships and to think critically about its role in their lives,” the news release reads. It specified that students would not watch pornography during the class and would neutrally examine how pornography relates to characteristics such as race and gender, consent and sexual behavior, privacy, sexual violence and body image and policy and legislation.
“Sex is everywhere these days, especially in the digital space, so it may not come as a surprise to learn that pornography consumption has become increasingly prevalent around the world,” the news release reads. “Specifically, 46–74% of men and 16–41% of women report being active porn users in modern countries today, and the reported age at which people are first exposed to pornographic content continues to get younger. When a form of media is as pervasive as pornography, it is imperative to ask what viewers are learning about sex through this medium.”
The course, which is currently at maximum capacity, is complementary to the “Sexuality Education” course launched fall 2022, according to the news release. “Sexuality Education” aims to “close the gap left by wildly disparate K–12 sex education state requirements” and “encourage empathy,” according to the university news release, while the newer 2023 course will focus specifically on pornography as a topic in sex education.

“Students will gain a comprehensive and holistic understanding of how complex the topic of internet porn is,” said Jennifer Pollitt, assistant professor and assistant director of gender, sexuality and women’s studies. “We’ll situate it within sociosexual, political, legal and historical frameworks. Talking about sex education without talking about pornography would only be telling half the story.”
Students will also study “the development, implementation and effectiveness of emerging porn literacy programs that start in middle school to help young people understand the difference between sex in porn and sex in real life.”
TU and Pollitt did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
