A Professor at SUNY-Fredonia has been arguing-for decades now-that pedophilia should be legalized and that it isn't immoral at all. It's like playing kickball or other sports, and if kids consent to the sex there is no clear moral reason that it is wrong or should be prohibited.
Professor Stephen Kershnar
- A SUNY Fredonia professor is under investigation by the school after videos emerged of him defending pedophilia and insisting it wasn't "obvious" to him why it was wrong, according to a report.
- The New York Post and Fox News picked up the story, but I am unaware of any other MSM media coverage of the story.
- It is all appalling and should never have been hired or given tenure at the school.
- But should he be fired for making his arguments? I would argue that no, he shouldn't. Why? Because ideas, even horrible ideas, should be discussed in universities.
SUNY-Fredonia should be ashamed of themselves
- They lied about whether they knew Kershnar's views, and then canceled his classes and put him under investigation simply to save themselves grief.
- Hateful ideas are hateful, but also ideas. Ideas should be confronted, since they will never go away.
