A California community college professor, infamous for teaching a course on
pornography, says he's cancelled the course and is going into rehab from
all the stress.
Timothy
Dionisopoulos<http://www.campusreform.org/contact/contact.cfm?StaffID=489890>reports
for the excellent
*Campus Reform*, Aug. 1, 2013, that two days ago, Professor Hugo Schwyzer
of Pasadena City College
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasadena_City_College>(PCC) in southern
California announced he's cancelled his controversial “Navigating
Pornography” course, and said he's entering psychological rehab because of
all the criticism he's received for offering the class.
Schwyzer is a professor of history and gender studies at PCC.
In March of this year, Schwyzer defended the "Navigating Pornography"
course<http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/13039/> in
an interview with *The College Fix,* calling the subject matter legitimate:
"(The course) focuses on giving students tools to understand pornography as
a historical and contemporary phenomenon. Students today live in a
porn-saturated culture and very rarely get a chance to learn about it in a
safe, non-judgmental, intellectually thoughtful way.”
Schwyzer said students do not view porn inside the classroom. Instead, they
watch it on their own time as homework. Assignments include journals, a
research paper, and a final exam.
Known widely as the “porn professor” who *has admitted to "struggling" with
drug addiction, domestic violence, and sexual relationships with some of
his female students* in the past, Schwyzer said

* he is “exhausted by threats and controversy” and “need[s] a break” from
teaching.
Poor baby!
He also
*blames*<http://www.mercurynews.com/education/ci_23776477/pasadenas-porn-professor-will-no-longer-offer-navigating>
university
administrators for pressuring him to drop the course: “There is a very
hostile climate at PCC right now, faculty do not get along with
administrators, it’s the worst I’ve seen in 20 years.”
Schwzer also blames government legislators cutting funding for “explicit
learning” (whatever that means), which “forces the porn industry to become
teacher as well as amuser and arouser.”
The “Navigating Pornography” course garnered national headlines after *Campus
Reform reported* <http://www.campusreform.org/blog/?ID=4644> on a public
lecture Schwyzer had organized in February with porn star James
Deen. BuzzFeed posted a YouTube video in which Schwyzer says it is
pornography’s job to “inspire us” sexually.
PCC’s public relations department did not respond to a request for comment
from Campus Reform in time of publication.
