Porn Film Screens at Maryland Anyway
Another "while I was out" update: The porn film that some Maryland state senators tried to ban at the University of Maryland screened anyway, with students, university administrators, and media members in attendance, the Diamondback reports. The first 30 minutes of the more than two-hour Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge was shown early last week, even as some members of the state legislature added an amendment to the state budget that would have restricted funding to public institutions that showed hard-core pornographic material on campus.
The film screened on April 6, and by April 8, the proposed amendment was defeated by lawmakers. It might not, however, be a complete win for those free-speech-defending students: Lawmakers have required that all public universities submit written reports on their policies of showing pornographic material on campus.

PORN SCREENS AT MARYLAND
I watched porn when I was underage by using a fake ID. From someone who has done that, those movies get quite boring after 15 minutes. Kids will giggle at first but a few more and they will grow quickly out of it.
where do you draw the lines
I think these matters should be handled at a very local level, such as within the school that decieded to show them. People are always trying to govern what you are allowed to see and do. There are laws that protect your dog and kids from you, if the film that is shown does not violate those laws then there should not be a problem.
