Westminster College said the class allows students to 'analyze social issues'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A private liberal arts college in Utah will offer an entire class on porn in the 2022-2023 academic year, and students will "watch pornographic films together" as part of the class.
Westminster College will offer the class, titled "Film 300O Porn," and states on its website that "hard core pornography" is more popular than "Sunday night football."
"Hard core pornography is as American as apple pie and more popular than Sunday night football. Our approach to this billion-dollar industry is as both a cultural phenomenon that reflects and reinforces sexual inequalities (but holds the potential to challenge sexual and gender norms) and as an art form that requires serious contemplation," the course description states.

"We will watch pornographic films together and discuss the sexualization of race, class, and gender and as an experimental, radical art form," the description states.

A spokesperson for the college told Fox News Digital that it "occasionally offers elective courses like this as an opportunity to analyze social issues."
"Westminster College occasionally offers elective courses like this as an opportunity to analyze social issues. As part of this analysis, Westminster College and universities across the county often examine potentially offensive topics like pornography to further understand their pervasiveness and impact. Descriptions of these courses, while alarming to some readers, help students decide if they wish to engage in serious investigation of controversial subjects," the spokesperson said. "This course will help students learn how to think critically about the influence of digital media culture."
