Abstract

This article reports that Jay R. Clarkson, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Iowa, has created a course on pornography for this fall. However, he wasn't expecting political opposition, even if he put a mock "Censored" on the syllabus to spice things up a bit. Christopher Rants, the Iowa Speaker of the House, stated that public funds should not go to that sort of course. It is informed that the course, for upperclassmen in Iowa's communications-studies department, was quickly oversubscribed, with 35 students registered and many more turned away.
