Senator Says No To Porn at U. of Maryland

Remember when we told you about the screenings of Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge taking place at University of California, Davis, Yale, Tulane and other campuses across the country?

The University of Maryland’s planned screening has infuriated one state lawmaker, who tried to pass legislation to withhold school funding for universities that don’t develop policies that note “the serious social and health concerns associated with screening pornographic film.”

Sen. Andrew Harris tried to attach his proposal Wednesday to force the governing boards of the state’s public universities to adopt policies on pornography before the schools receive any capital funds for the next fiscal year.

This is a major 1st amendment debate (and great marketing for Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge) so we will be sure to keep you updated on the situation. For now check out all the information here.
